| | Windows 7 VPC and x64 guest Hi all: I am trying to install a 64-bit guest OS on Windows 7 x64 RC and Virtual PC. I have enabled virtualization in the BIOS, but when I try to install I get an error screen with: "Attempting to load a 64-bit application, however this CPU is not compatible with 64-bit mode" but the CPU IS so I am wondering if anyone out there has seen this? Thanks. John. |

| | Re: Windows 7 VPC and x64 guest Yep. Virtual PC for Windows 7 is purely targeted at the legacy app market so you can move to Windows 7. (it actually does that quite well!) It did add USB support. -- Bob Comer On Mon, 27 Jul 2009 13:13:27 -0400, "David B." <mail@xxxxxx> wrote: Quote: >Is it? Could have swore they finally had x64 guest support, my bad. |
