| | Sound Error Hi, I installed Microsoft's Virtual PC 2007, SP1 and then installed Windows 7 RC on the VM. I am getting an x with a red background on it on the speaker icon in the lower right hand corner. When I put the mouse pointer on the speaker icon, I get the following message: "No Audio Device is Installed". What does this mean? Is there a way to correct it?

| | Re: Sound Error When you first set up the VM, did you select Vista as the host OS in the virtual machine wizard? You need to do that. You don't need to reinstall Win7, just create a new VM and attach the old hard drive to it, than when the new VM is created, uninstall the VM Additions, and then reinstall them, or just install them if you haven't done that before. -- Bob Comer "jslow" <jslow@xxxxxx> wrote in message news  44D53AF-C6BA-4363-BC35-A302C09003D4@xxxxxxQuote: > Hi, > I installed Microsoft's Virtual PC 2007, SP1 and then installed Windows 7 > RC > on the VM. > I am getting an x with a red background on it on the speaker icon in the > lower right hand corner.

| | Re: Sound Error Hi Bob, Thanks for the reply. I don't have Vista installed. I purchased a Dell Vostro computer that was downgraded to Windows XP, SP3 and thats the operating system I've been using. Do I need to have Vista installed for Windows 7 RC to run properly in Virtual PC? Everything else seems to be operating OK with Windows 7 RC installed on the Virtual PC.
