Get hardware that supports it.

Re: Virtual PC 2007

it is grayed out if your hardware does not support that feature.

by the way there are now VPC news groups on microsoft news servers.
msnews.microsoft.com

Re: Virtual PC 2007

Well everything use to work fine in Vitual PC 2004, in my V PC OS I use to
have all of the same hardware that was in my Host computer. Why doesn't it
find it with Vista and Vitual PC 07?

Seems they went backwards on this move. Oh Yeah Were talking about Microsoft
here.

Re: Virtual PC 2007

You may be on to something because after looking at the device manager in
VP07 it shows I'm running a INtel chip CPU and I am infact running a AMD.
Would you happen to know the link ?

Thanks

Re: Virtual PC 2007

Hardware virtualization support is a new feature in VPC 2007 so you wouldn't
have gotten this option in VPC2004.

Check with AMD or Intel to see if your processor supports hardware
virtualization. Assuming it does, then your motherboard and chipset will
also need to support it. In my mobo bios, it is referenced as "Vanderpool
Technology" with an enable or disable.
