i updated to windows 7 ultimate and used 7loader to activate it nearly 2 years ago and i lost the use of virtual pc and win xp mode a while later ,i instaledl them but somehow virtual pc or win xp mode wont boot i just click on them and nothing happens. I tried to update to the latest virtual pc mode ect but microsoft ask for a genuine check first! anybody have any suggestions as of how i can get it working again thankyou
Uninstall the version you have and then install virtual pc 2007 sp1, then install xp mode for virtuial pc and then virtual pc, - have it running on ultimate myself
ok thanks for the quick replys guys i used daz's 1.95 loader unistalled my old loader then installed that one. So now i download from microsoft the latest virtual pc and windows xp mode and if they ask for authentication for being genuine I go ahead with that ? Becuase they are asking for me to install the update KB971033 (that or something else)before downloading Also i never installed the update KB971033 ,do i need to install that now or can i leave it out for good?
go for it, it will pass wga. XP mode required me to remove 2007 prior to install, they use the same components so it conflicts, they might have fixed it though.
That whole "XP Mode" seems like a gimmick to me. When I first read about it I thought "great", but when I tried it out it's basically just a virtual machine. I'd rather just use VirtualBox (free) or, yes, MS Virtual PC 2007 if nothing else.

XP Mode and/or Virtual PC, is an updated version of Virtual PC 2007 sp1 Just like Virtual PC 2007 was an update to Virtual PC 6. I'm surprised to hear they'll both work on the same PC ? Little tip that may help some. If your using XPM/VPC for older OS installs i.e. W98 or W2K Using the Additions from older versions of VPC can make your VM's perform better.
There's even the DOS addons from 2004 that allows it to use network shares IIRC... have it but never tried it though (I use vmware normally; faster as a software VM)
