Microsoft Virtual PC 2007

Hello, I was wondering if I install a clean version of Windows XP using bootcamp, will I be able to install Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 on it? I've been reading that this cannot work on the Intel chip. Please let me know as I am interested in purchasing the MacBook, but I also need to do DEV on the machine, thus I need to us MC VPC 2007.
Thanks.

welcome to macbook forum.
it should work just fine since boot camp with XP or vista, will act as a PC laptop.
But the problem might be when you have to select the partition for installing your other guest OS, unless you point that guess OS (win 2000, another XP or else) to external HD if virtual PC support guess os from external connection.
Good Luck.

Installing Arch in Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 SP1

Firstly, I'm very new to linux and am looking to try out as many distros as possible before deciding on which one to learn from. I want a simple but powerful distro which has minimal packages which will allow me to develop a system myself, learning how the OS works along the way. Arch linux looks like the one.
I've tried to install from the ftp iso "archlinux-2009.02-ftp-i686" onto Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 SP1 on my Pentium 4 3.4GHz PC. I get a "Kernal panic - not syncing: Attempting to kill the idle task! message" after a message "unknown_bootoption+0x0/0x1db", a hex dump and "EIP: [<c010982c>] text_poke_early+0x4c/0x70 SS:ESP 0068:c042fe90" message.
Don't know whether this means anything or I've missed something obvious. Does anyone have an experience of this type of install? Have I downloaded the wrong ISO?
Thanks for any help anyone can give me.

Arch does seem to have a few issues when running in a VM. More so than when using actual metal.
That should be the correct CD.
I never had much luck with MS Virtual PC. Maybe try VirtualBOX from Sun?
I don't know if your pentium 4 has support for hardware virtualisation. Without hardware support the performance will be less than impressive and I found I had more issues without hardware virtualisation when running vms.

Archlinux on Microsoft Virtual Server - installs but doesn't boot

Hi all,
I'm trying to sneak Arch into our organization, but as we're very Windows-focussed it may take some time. I thought I would be able to install it as a virtual machine on our Virtual Server, but I haven't had any luck.
The system seemed to install fine, but when I restart the machine and take out the virtual CD it just sits there with a blank screen, but using 97% CPU.
Here's how I installed the system:
Physical machine: Core II Duo 2GHz running Windows Vista 32-bit, with 2GB memory and a 120GB IDE drive.
1) Setup a virtual machine - it has 256MB memory, and a 100GB dynamically-expanding IDE virtual hard disk.
2) Attached the Don't Panic 2007.08 BASE ISO to the Virtual Machine, and started her up.
3) Started the installer with arch ide-legacy. This is because I've run through this install a few times now and without this option it complains that it can't read from /dev/null a lot and that it has trouble writing to VHD.
4) Did an auto-prepare and selected all of the defaults to partition the virtual hard disk.
5) Selected all of the base packages and installed them.
6) Did the "configure system", and left everything as the defaults except setting the root password.
7) Installed the kernel, again leaving the defaults in the config file.
8) Installed the bootloader. Last time I used GRUB, but it sat there saying it was installing for over 2 hours. This time I tried LILO and it installed in less than a few seconds.
After all that was done I exited the installer and did a reboot. Now it sits at 97% CPU usage constantly and shows nothing but a blank screen. Using ALT+F1-F5 shows nothing.
Microsoft Virtual Server has support for the Red Hat and other distributions so I would have expected ArchLinux to work. Has anyone else had success in getting Arch to run on Virtual Server? And is there anything I did wrong in my installation?
Cheers,
Paul

Well, according to this virtual pc 2004 supports archlinux 0.7.1 and 0.7.2 .
They claim virtual server 2005 uses the same core as virtual pc 2004 , so it should work.
Try installing with one of the previous isos, see ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/iso .

Microsoft does not provide support for the Crystal Reports products because Crystal Reports are SAP products, （http://support.microsoft.com/kb/317789）and we're not familiar with the license issue of this
product, I think you might need help in this SAP products support forum

OEL5 on Virtual PC 2007 - dislpay problems

Hi,
I have a Windows Vista PC with Virtual PC 2007 and installed Oracle Enterprise Linux 5 on a VM to use as Oracle 10g lab.
The installation completed fine, but I cannot use GUI(Gnome) because when I issue X command, the screen turns black and I cannot do anything more.
Any guesses? I´ve read that I should change color scheme to 16 bit and/or change video memory configuration , but I do not know how to do it and if it would solve the problem.
Thanks in advance.

Device Manager in Win: Does Microsoft Virtual WiFi MiniPort Adapter Matter?

I'm a novice user just wondering about configuring devices in Windows 7 bootcamp partition.
My Apple iMac computer shows as a device in the Windows device manager with a yellow exclamation mark.
The driver is Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter.
The error is "device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)'.
Attempting to troubleshoot, by updating the driver doesn't solve the problem, as Windows can't automatically locate the driver.
However nothing seems to be actually functioning wrong - internet connectivity and wifi connections are stable and the partition is accessible.
I'm also using MacDrive 8 to access my Mac drives from Windows, again this seems to be working smoothly.
Can I just ignore this as one of the quirks of Bootcamp 3.2?
I have my PhD work on the Windows side so just wanting to be sure I can safely ignore the problem.
I've asked this question in the Intel iMac forum, wihtout any luck, just thought other Bootcamp users might be able to shine some light on the issue?
In detail:
Bootcamp; 3.2
Win OS: Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit
Mac OS: 10.6.7
Computer: Intel Core Duo 3.06GHz 8 GB RAM
Installed Driver Date and Version: 21/06/2006 and 6.1.7600.16385

Hi,
If they remained after uninstall from device manager, run these commands with administrator privilege:
netsh wlan stop hostednetwork
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=disallow

Running SAP on Microsoft Virtual Servers

Is anyone running SAP on Microsoft Virtual Servers? If so, what has been your experience with this? We are installing NetWeaver 2004s on three virtual servers (running on the same Physical Windows server). We are using the Microsoft Virtual Server software (not VM Ware).
Thanks in advance for any information.

Check Note 674851 - Virtualization on Windows:
VMware, GSX Server, VMware workstation, Microsoft Virtual Server
Due to their restriction to 32-bit, single CPU and host/guest operation, these virtualization products are not suitable for productive SAP applications.
It may be advisable to use one of these products to operate non-production systems (demo systems, test systems, development systems and so on).
I would not use Microsoft Virtual Server for productive installations, additionally, depending on the database used, it may or may not supported by the database vendor and thus also may or may not supported by SAP.
In worst case you will need to reinstall the application on a non-virtualized environment and reproduce a problem there before SAP support will accept the problem.

Microsoft Office Ultimate 2007 - Activation after hardware change

Have an original Microsoft Office Ultimate 2007 software which is licenced for 3 computers.
In the past had it up and running OK on a Hewlett Packard PC and a Samsung Netbook.
When I made some changes to the PC early last year it asked me to activate again, and the process worked OK and was carried out online.
A few months ago my PC crashed, so I took the harddrive out of the PC and inserted it into the shell of another old HP PC, which resulted in me having to activate it again.
Now (while abroad) my Netbook crashed and I took out the harddrive and installed it in to the shell of an old Samsung Laptop.
It is now asking me to activate, however when I try it says I exceeded the number of permitted installs (which rubbish, as they not copied on to new computers while left on the old ones but physically still on the same drive, even if totally different motherboard
etc)!
As it won't activate online it gives an option of activating by telephone, but if you select this option in the wizard the wizard disappears and no list of contact numbers appears.
Obviously trying to call back to the UK to speak to a UK call centre would be costly and even if I get to a person how do I enter the code (that I have) if the wizard is not open to key it in to?
If I call a local number the support will be in Estonian or Russian rather than English and can they support a UK purchased software rather than locally purchased one?
It is a real pain!
Makes you want to switch to OpenOffice!
Can any of you email me at mueller at tesco dot net and tell me what I can do?
Being out of work at the moment I can not afford to upgrade to the latest version, and my son needs to use Office on this laptop for his schoolwork.
I can give you my AAAAA-AAAAA-NANAA-NANAA-NAAAA type activation code if you need it but thought it best not to post it on an open forum.
Thanks, Regards, Richard

Hello Bhatt,
Most probably your PC was corrupted by the Dell software you downloaded. First of all, I'd recommend contacting the Dell support service representative. Also you can try to re-install Office.
Finally, I'd recommend asking such question on the
Microsoft Community forum instead. The current forum is for Office developers.

[SOLVED] FTP install (in MS Virtual PC 2007)

Hi all,
I'm new to Archlinux, coming from Debian and Ubuntu distros.
I'm attempting to install Archlinux in an MS Virtual PC 2007 VM at my work. Everything seems to have gone fine so far until I get to select my packages. It says on any server I choose, "Error fetching package list from server". The first step "Configure Network" seemed to go fine, using DHCP. I moved to another console (Alt-F4) and checked my rc.conf settings. Under "Networking" I have:
lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
eth0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(lo !eth0)
When I try the command ifconfig it shows all my networking info, which looks fine to me. When I ping google.com it returns, "ping: unknown host google.com" which would mean my network isn't working. I tried restarting the networking daemon with "/etc/rc.d/network restart" and it didn't help.
I wonder if it's because it's in a VM? Or should I not do the FTP install? Or is there something missing in my rc.conf?
Thanks.

Hmm, I'm not sure about DNS.
I can ping the rounter fine.
I setup a "static ip" entry in rc.conf. So my config looks like:
lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
eth0="eth0 192.168.1.116 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255"
INTERFACES=(lo eth0)
gateway="default gw 192.168.1.1"
ROUTES=(gateway)
I made sure 192.168.1.116 wasn't already being used by pinging it on my host computer.
Restarting the network daemon and pinging google.com still results with packet loss. I wonder if it's something to do with my works network configuration. I'll try this again when I get home.

Solaris 10 5/08 x Microsoft Virtual PC

I have tried to install Solaris 10 5/08 on Microsoft Virtual PC, but after selecting Solaris on first screen I have received this message:
WARNING: Time of Day clock error: reason [Stalled]. -- Stopped tracking Time Of Day clock.
Does anyone know how to solve?
Thanks,

ive seen clock issues on linux under vmware and found this off this link [http://www.vmware.com/products/beta/esx-vc/knownissues.html]
Solaris warning "Stopped tracking Time of Day clock"
Description: Solaris might report one of the following messages:
WARNING: Time of Day clock error: reason [Stalled].
-- Stopped tracking Time Of Day clock.
WARNING: Time of Day clock error: reason [Jumped].
-- Stopped tracking Time Of Day clock.
Workaround: The warnings are harmless, and you can simply ignore them. Alternatively, you can, do the following:
1. suppress them by adding the following line to /etc/system in your VM:
set tod_validate_enable = 0
2. Install VMware Tools in your virtual machineand turn on time synchronization to ensure that time is accurate.
for sure since this is msft stuff, you cant do step 2

Microsoft outlook cal "2007" freezes and will not sync info.

When I open outlook 2007 it freezes and does not sync info from Icloud. I have uninstalled Icloud,itunes and reinstalled still not working.
any help would be great.

I'm using a Mac to sync my devices , but the Windows Address Book should also work, as well as the apps which store the data in the cloud like Google and Yahoo for example. See also page 48 in the iPod_touch_iOS4_User_Guide
Contacts
You can sync contacts with applications such as Mac OS X Address Book, Yahoo! Address Book, and Google Contacts on a Mac, or with Yahoo! Address Book, Google Contacts, Windows Address Book (Outlook Express), Windows Contacts (Vista and Windows 7), or Microsoft Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 on a PC. (On a Mac, you can sync contacts with multiple applications. On a PC, you can sync contacts with one application at a time.)
If you sync with Yahoo! Address Book, you only need to click Configure to enter your new login information when you
change your Yahoo! ID or password after you’ve set up syncing.
Calendars
You can sync calendars from applications such as iCal on a Mac, or from Microsoft Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 on a PC. (On a Mac, you can sync calendars with multiple applications. On a PC, you can sync calendars with only one application at a time.)
Did you already try to reset the Sync history in iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices, as suggested in the Troubleshooting article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1692 ?
