| Member Join Date: Jul 2008 Vista 64 ultimate, Windows XP 32 Professional, Windows XP 64 Professional | Install XP 64 to Windows Virtual PC 2007 Hi I am trying to install, Windows XP 64 as a Guest in a Windows Vista 64 Ultimate host through Windows Virtual PC 2007. I have down loaded Windows Virtual PC 2007 and have it instaled as a software application on my Windows Vista 64 Ulimate computer. I have used the Windows Virtual PC 2007 software to create a Windows Virtual PC, it has a plain black screen with simple letters on it. What I can't figure out is how to get the Windows XP 64 on the install disc in to the Virtual PC.  Best and Warm Regards Adrian Wainer |

| Antidisestablishmentarian | Re: Install XP 64 to Windows Virtual PC 2007 You cannot - Virtual PC only supports 32bit Operating Systems as guests - I tried the same thing myself, and that is how I found out - See Microsoft Virtual PC - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Also see http://blogs.msdn.com/virtual_pc_guy...d.aspx#1723713 and http://blogs.msdn.com/virtual_pc_guy...d.aspx#1725682 and http://blogs.msdn.com/virtual_pc_guy...d.aspx#1733528 and http://blogs.msdn.com/virtual_pc_guy...d.aspx#1800821 What I did when I found that out was sign up to Beta test VMWare new VMWorkstation. It supports both 32bit OSs and 64bit OSs. |

Best and Warm Regards and thanks again. Adrian Wainer Last edited by Adrian Wainer; 08-01-2008 at 07:52 PM.. |

| Antidisestablishmentarian | Re: Install XP 64 to Windows Virtual PC 2007 I agree - hence my immediate jump ship to VMWare - and since I signed up to Beta test it is even better because I am not having to fight quick expiration times on the time limited trial software. |
