mazmorbid Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 It's not usual, it should actually take much less time to install in a VM than from cd or dvd, how did you do the unattended install of office 2007? all the ways I tried failed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacesurfer Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Now, tell us about your PC specs? RAM: Virtual Machines require lots of RAM. I have 2 GB ram. When I use a virtual machine, I have allotted 512 MB for the Virtual Machine. That's enough and it's fast. Basically, you need a minimum of 512 MB for the Virtual XP and at least 1 GB for the physical so your physical does not suffocate when running the virtual.Processor: The other component is your CPU. I have an Intel Core 2 Duo optimized for virtualization. How much disk space did you allot for your XP install?Video card may also matter as some video cards can use physical RAM, leaving less physical RAM.One last question, after you installed, how fast is it? If it is slow, then it's most likely your RAM is too low! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
