| | Re: Only very low resolution in VM XP has to be at SP3 for one thing, and then you might have to uninstall the additions and reinstall them. -- Bob Comer On Wed, 7 Oct 2009 17:16:02 -0700, ThomasAJ <ThomasAJ@newsgroup> wrote: Quote: >Have VPC 2007 SP1. > >Restored another PC (XP) into the VM using Acronis, installed VM Additions. > >Started the VM OS, logged on but cannot change display beyond the set >resolution of 640x480, 4bit. |

| | Re: Only very low resolution in VM Host OS is Vista - Guest is XP SP2. Do you mean that guest *MUST* be SP3 (for XP of course). Also - how does one uninstall VMA - oh is it thru Vist Programs...? -- Regards Tom "Robert Comer" wrote: Quote: > XP has to be at SP3 for one thing, and then you might have to > uninstall the additions and reinstall them. > > -- > Bob Comer > > > On Wed, 7 Oct 2009 17:16:02 -0700, ThomasAJ > <ThomasAJ@newsgroup> wrote: > Quote: > >Have VPC 2007 SP1. > > > >Restored another PC (XP) into the VM using Acronis, installed VM Additions. > > > >Started the VM OS, logged on but cannot change display beyond the set > >resolution of 640x480, 4bit. |

Occasionly, if the monitor is set to a specific model or resolution, it won't change to higher resolutions. -- Cheers, Steve Jain, Virtual Machine MVP http://vpc.essjae.com/ http://smudj.wordpress.com/ |

| | Re: Only very low resolution in VM hmmm... thanks Steve but I'll stop wasting my time with VPC now. I have been around long enought to know when a dud is a dud. This is the 2nd time I have looked at VPC in 8 mths and I notice there have been no updates since about mar/may 2008 and there are many many problems/clunkies. why oh why do MS put out junk like this for free and are obvciously not serious about the topic. VMWare - it's Mercedes vs model T ford. -- Regards Tom "Steve Jain [MVP]" wrote: Quote: > On Wed, 7 Oct 2009 22:10:35 -0700, ThomasAJ > <ThomasAJ@newsgroup> wrote: > Quote: > >Host OS is Vista - Guest is XP SP2. > > > >Do you mean that guest *MUST* be SP3 (for XP of course). > I think Bob is thinking of WindowsVPC, not VPC2007. > Quote: > > > >Also - how does one uninstall VMA - oh is it thru Vist Programs...? > Add/Remove Programs.

| | Re: Only very low resolution in VM >Do you mean that guest *MUST* be SP3 (for XP of course). Yes, if you install the latest version of the additions. If you install older additions you can stay with SP2.
