Xahid Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 No really. VMware has had this for ages. Kewl, didn't know that! so XPM is not a new idea, they just cheat it ... LOL M$ !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdood Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 I wouldn't say "cheat it." The XPM integration is better than VMWare's, and unlike VMWare which is very expensive, XPM is included with the price you pay for Windows 7 Professional/Ultimate/Enterprise. On top of that, it includes a fully licensed version of XP SP3 which you'd have to get separately with VMWare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vista Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Does this virtual machine have access to the 3D-acceleration on your videocard? Could someone try running dxdiag within XPM and see what it says on the graphics-tab? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeeJAyP Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 So in the meantime you must install using your own copy of XP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdood Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Does this virtual machine have access to the 3D-acceleration on your videocard? No, it does not. hi to all ,i get thi error ! anny solution ? It requires a CPU that has support for either Intel VT or AMD-V. You'll have to look up the specifications for your CPU and see if it supports it (which it does not look like it does). If it doesn't, there is no way you can use XP Mode and you should just uninstall it. VMWare does not need this, which is why that will still work on your machine.
