| | CPU usage:100% Hi everybody ! I've installed Win 7 ultimate in a VM but it always runs with CPU at 100% of usage that blocks any other task. I appreciate your suggestions. LAM |

Just because you can install it, doesn't mean you can run it. Once put up Vista Ultimate on a CeleronD, with 512MB memory. Installed OK, ran without crashing, but at 100% CPU and ran like a dog. Try to open browser, make a cup of tea while watching the whirly thing, then message "sure you want to run this application" it was MS$'s for Christs sake, click yes, watch whirly thing while drinking tea. About 15 more mins to get to Google, and another 20 mins to get answer to "Why does my PC run slow". Intel Extreme processor, 4GB Crucial, both eBay bargains, on a 9 quid Asus mobo, fixed it. |

VPC2007 is lacking all of that and is likely a solution rather much behind by now. Microsoft seems to have abandoned VPC2007 in favour of Windows Virtual PC on Windows 7, which only works if you have a CPU capable of VT... I think you can even import your already installed virtual machine into Player3 (it can handle VPC2007 guests) so you may also save on the install steps. You will gain support for Aero graphics and USB inside the guests, just for that reason alone the switch seems to be worth it. (I just upgraded my VMWare Workstation 6.5.3 to version 7). And I have several Win7 guests that run happily with no problems whatsoever. -- Bo Berglund (Sweden) |

| | Re: CPU usage:100% Ato, yes ! I'm suspecting the problem depends on the type of processor. Like Pablo suggests in this thread, it seems that AMD Processor don't manage fluently VPC 2007 with Vindows 7 runnig into a virtual machine. Other previous Windows versions work fine installed in virtual machines.

| | Re: CPU usage:100% Mike, I wasn't able to test Windows 7 into VMVare Player3. After installing VMWARE, my PC suffered general failure whitout detect its origin. I had to format the hard disk and then reinstall Windows 7. I expect to make testings with VMWare in then next days.
