Can't get Windows XP Mode in Windows 7 to fill 27" screen

I successfully installed Windows XP Mode on my Windows 7 OS running in Boot Camp and it works but the XP VM doesn't fill the 27" screen when I expand it to Full Screen. I get black bars on the left and right side of the XP OS, the top and bottom are filled. I checked the settings on the Display control panel in XP and there are no choices other than the default setting. Does anyone know what to change to make Virtual PC running XP in Windows 7 fill my 27" iMac screen? (That's a mouth full).

Good evening -
Thanks for the response. I loaded drivers from CD.  I want to keep the operating system on the 80 GIG ATA drive and use the SATA RAID for programs.  The drives show up in the device manager and in the VIA RAID utility that came with the motherboard but I can't see or access them through My Computer.  I have tried to set up the RAID through both the Windows software and through the Boot program, but no luck.  When I tried to update the drivers from the floppy it said no newer drivers found. (I tried to update drivers through the Device manager.)  Also when I deleted the raid and tried to set up the drives individually the same thing happened.  Is it possible I don't have the BIOS set up correctly? I am at a loss.

  • I have an ipod nano 7th generation and can not get it recognised by my Windows 8.1 laptop (it appears briefly on My computer, then disappears). This happened after I updated iTunes to the latest version. Does that have something to do with it?

    Hello there, kiwilucea.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers up some in-depth steps for troubleshooting your issue:

    Keep in mind if you get to Step 12 Reinstall iTunes, those steps need to be followed exactly as outlined for the reinstall to be effective.

  • Can one build a XP mode on Windows 8.1 ? (Software that will provide the same experiance?)

    I Know XP mode is not supported under Windows 8. I was wondering if there was a way to manually build a XP mode install.
    I want the same experiance as XP mode due to having hardware that only has 32bit support(driver) on Windows 8.1 x64.
    I would like the shortcuts to the apps on the desktop and to be able to run them from the VM.
    I have PLENTY of Windows XP pro licences that are not in use any more and I have the media. I would prefer not to install a whole VM package and have to run it in a VM as I want to use it on a 8.1 tablet I have.
    With all the VM software packages out there for free, is there one that will provide what I am looking for ?
    Me

    Me,
    The answer to your question is no, a Windows XP mode cannot be manually built for Windows 8.1.
    Your options include Hyper-V as well as VirtualBox and VMWare player, which was already mentioned. 
    Even if there were a way to build a Windows XP mode within Windows 8.1, it wouldn’t be supported past April 8th, which is the end of support date for Windows XP. 
    This includes Windows XP mode in Windows 7.
    The
    Windows XP End of Support page also lists other issues that you would be facing, such as:
    Security:
    Without critical Windows XP security updates, your PC may become vulnerable to harmful viruses, spyware, and other malicious software which can steal or damage your business
    data and information. Anti-virus software will also not be able to fully protect you once Windows XP itself is unsupported.
    Compliance:
    Businesses that are governed by regulatory obligations such as HIPAA may find that they are no longer able to satisfy compliance requirements. More information on HHS’s
    view on the security requirements for information systems that contain electronic protected health information (e-PHI) can be found here (HHS HIPAA FAQ - Security
    Rule).
    Lack of Independent Software Vendor (ISV) Support:
    Many software vendors will no longer support their products running on Windows XP as they are unable to receive Windows XP updates. For example, the new Office takes advantage
    of the modern Windows and will not run on Windows XP.
    Hardware Manufacturer support:
    Most PC hardware manufacturers will stop supporting Windows XP on existing and new hardware. This will also mean that drivers required to run Windows XP on new hardware
    may not be available.

  • How to decrypt data when you can't get the private key in Windows?

    I'm very confuse. My english is poor, but I try to say my question clearly.
    When browser connects to a https website which needs client certificate to authenticate the identity, the browser will send client certificate to web server.
    Then the web server will use the certificate to encrypt some data and send it to browser.
    Then broswer should have private key to decrypt that.
    But as I know, if I install a pfx format personal certificate, I can set can't export private key, which means you can't get the private key to use it. So how can
    the browser decrypt the data without private key?
    By the way, what is CSP, use CSP's interface can we use CryptoAPI
    to decrypt data without private key?

    Answer for question is  "you cant"..

  • Can't get itunes to work for windows xp 64 bit

    I can't get itunes to work for windows xp 64 bit. It won't even download.

    These are the Windows requirements according to the iTunes dpownload site http://www.apple.com/uk/itunes/download/http://:
    Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later; 32-bit editions of Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8
    64-bit editions of Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8 require the iTunes 64-bit installer
    xp 64 bit is not mentioned but it doesn't seem to be supported for the latest ITunes so it seems that you're out of luck.

  • I can't get iTunes to install on Windows 8

    I can't get iTunes to install on Windows 8.  I click on the download link and it automatically jumps to the Thank you page without getting the run box to actually install the program.  I don't have the pop-up blocker enabled...any help?

    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

    Restart the Mac, and start over, it very well could be frozen. This is not the way you would like to start out your Mac experience!

  • Can't get Finder to open a window

    I can't get Finder to open a window when I click it in the dock when there are no windows already open. Applications will launch from the dock and I can open a window by double-clicking the hard drive icon on the desktop.
    I also cannot get a window to open using CMD+N or by selecting "New Folder" from the File menu in Finder, only by double-clicking icons for the hard drive or folders.
    I tried trashing the preferences for both finder and the dock but still the same problem.

    You'll probably won't find any. Because right now here at work we are using Reports 6i and when we upgraded to Windows XP we have to download a patch just to make it work in.

  • AE CS6 can't get past the "Mediacore Initializing" window

    I just installed Mountain Lion on my 12-core Mac Pro, did a clean install of CS6 Master Collection and still can't get past the "Mediacore Initializing" window. All the other CS6 apps are working fine and I don't have any plug-ins installed as of now.
    Also, After Effects CS6 with Mountain Lion is working just fine on my MacBook Pro so I'm wondering if Mountain Lion is really the cause or not.
    I've tried are throwing out the preference files, but that didn't do anything either. Furthermore, I still have CS5.5 on my computer and After Effects gets stuck in the same place with that version, as well.
    If anyone has any ideas it would be much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Ray
