Dear Admins :

Please post this as a Sticky.......

DO NOT USE MCRO$OFT VIRTUALPC 2007!!!!!!!!!!! As it has tons of problems emulating an nLited edition of XP. Plus it's tremendously SLOW !!!!!!!!!

Use VMWARE v6 Beta It's The Best Ever!!


Thank you for your non stop Support

The VMWare 6 beta is sluggish due to it having debugging code. Definitely stick with 5.5.3.

I'm in the beta for 2007 and it seems to work just fine on my Celeron Laptop.

I have an excellent PC :

PIV 2.8GHz Duo 2 Core
4GB DDR3 Kingston RAM
1GB nVidia Quadro 4500
2x320GB Hard Drives SATA2
2x500GB Hard Drives SATA2
1x750GB Hard Drive IDE
Creative Audigy 2 ZS 7.1 THX

And VirtualPC 2007 works like a PII 450MHz PC!!!!!!!!
And it continuesly hangs without there being a problem!!!!!

working fine here

do you use AV and spyware protection? (maybe the files are being scanned a lot when you're using the vm)

What OS are you runnin Nokia?

I'm running vista, and I ran XP within it and it ran just fine.

I only Use Avira AntiVir v7 PE On WinXP MCE 2005

WinXP MCE 2005 My most treasured OS EVERRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!

Makes no sense. All I can say is you may have bad drivers for something.

Edit: Try not to double post.

Hey prx984 give me your msn so we can chat more about this....mine is george.lucas.1971@gmail.com......I'm pleased to know ya

Plus it's a company PC !!!!!

Sorry, I dont give out my e-mail for support purposes. And I don't have MSN anyway. Sorry

VMWare 5.53 Is Better than v6 Beta Yes.....thx for the info Strotee76 ;P

i will never use vpc until they support USB emulation

am using virtual pc 2007 and i havent found any problems with it so far

i made an vmware lite addon where debug and many other things removed, now it runs faster then ever
if u want, nliteos.com

VMWare Lite forevah.
Thx Weed.

But I never had any issues with Virtual PC either except the speed.

The New Beta VMware is awful , havent tried vpc2007 but 2004 with sp1 isnt all that bad, i use that because vmware installs all the garbage extras that i only end up disabling anyway.

Only apparently OT, do try the newish Virtualbox, FREE/OPENSOURCE, it appears to be REAL fast:

jaclaz, it's perfect!

I use only VirtualBox.
Used VmWare before, a few motnhs ago.

VitualBox is the best if you only need to see that you OS will work.

im still using ur vmlite 5.5.2.. i nver knew uv updated it .. thnx again !!

OMGZ0RS, VIRTUAL PC IS TEH SLOW!!!!!111

VPC2007 works fine, been using it since the first beta. And unlike VMWare, it doesn't annoyingly take control of the mouse just because I happened to type something in the VM.

I agree with hulkviper. VirtualBox is good enough to test an nLited os. The only feature I miss is dragging & dropping files, but it's no big deal anyway, trasferring just requires little more clicks.

Btw host/guest copy/paste ability should be available in the next version.

wow VirtualBox is a LOT faster than VPC, it seems to work faster than my normally does during install (because of the hard drive being a lot faster than a dvd)

anyone got any windows install test times between the 3 programs?

from where did u get that info?

Check the VirtualBox forum. I hope I understood well.

I must say till recently vpc2007 has been great of late I've been having network issues with it not connecting to the net? Tried all sorts to fix it no go?
Don't know if there may be an xp update conflicting with it or not?
Anyone else experiencing same??

Did you use nLite to delete any drivers? That caused/fixed it for me. Don't delete any drivers and VPC works perfectly.

Yes I do though always use the same preset.ini?...So why now this problem & not at all during the last six months since I downloaded & installed VPC2007??

MS Virtual PC 2007 has been working OK for me. (but I haven't yet figured out how to drag files between the host and the vpc)

Yes, it's slow, but speed seems to depend on the amount of RAM you allocate to it.

If you let it take the default memory size then VPC2007 runs slower, and if you manually set the memory size bigger it runs faster.
