Installed XPM: Now How Do You Start It..?!


Recommended Posts

On the Virtual PC site, it says it's in the Start menu, well it's not there...so where is it -- not where it was installed -- and how do you start it?!

At the very end of the installation it says that the VHD is in the install directory (C:\Program Files\Virtual Windows XP). I think you need to setup a new Virtual Machine and point it to use that VHD?

Strange, I've installed XPM and there is now an entry in my Start Menu for it. Have you installed both parts? The first install is the Virtual PC components, and the second install is the XP image.

Did you even bother to read this part of my post:

-- not where it was installed --

That's what I missed. I skipped step 2. :laugh:

Step 2, what step 2...it installs and doesn't give any options, etc?!

Well, that is f*cked up, they want you to use VPC and XPM...retards!

Virtual PC is the boot loader for VPM, the image of XP.

Of .. course you have to use VPC. :huh:

Um, XPM REQUIRES VPC. XPM is just the install image for XP which needs VPC for the virtual enviroment. Can't have one without the other. It even says so on the site you download it from.

Windows Virtual PC provides the capability to run multiple Windows environments such as Windows XP Mode from your Windows 7 desktop.

Yeah, well...who tends to read all the little stuff.

Anyways, it let's you install the updates to WinXP as well....

Grats on 1k!

I was hoping on doing something for my 1000th post, but I forgot...well I'll do it later as another post to BPN.
