Start Windows XP Mode in Windows 7 Minimized

Hi,
I have installed XP mode in windows 7 and changed to run minimized on the start up but it always starts in the normal mode.
Does anyone know how to run it on the start up minimized?

Hi,
Here is another thread that talk about same question with yours, please take it as reference:

  • "cannot complete windows setup" Windows xp mode on Windows 7 professional

    I am currently having a problem loading windows xp mode on windows 7 professional on my new laptop
    Laptop specs
    LENOVO
    Processor: AMD A6-5350M APU with Radeon(tm) HD Grapihcs 2.90 GHz
    Installed memory (RAM): 4.00 GB (3.15 GB usable)
    System type: 64-bit Operating System

    experiencing the same issues you are describing on what appears to be the same model of computer.  Can anyone provide additional information on applying the suggested hotfix?  
    @Rick Dee - After installing both XP mode and Virtual PC service pack on the computer XP mode appears in the list of Virtual Machines.  After running through the initial set up of the VM (Windows XP Mode) listed in ~/<user>/virtual machines, the
    setup of the VM fails with the error, "cannot complete windows setup".  
    I use a vhd that I deploy to all my client computers to run XP mode.  I have deployed this vhd on at least 5 other laptops with the same specs from the same manufacturer.  On this particular machine though, when I tried to deploy this vhd, the
    vm just hangs.  So I have been trying to install the distributed copy of Windows XP mode from Microsoft.  When I do this, I get the error.  

  • Will Let's Edit run on Windows XP mode in Windows 7?

    I just purchsed an iMac and I want to load Windows 7 Professional onto it as well. We own the full version of Edius 5 but have not tried learning that program yet. I don't know if Edius 5 will run on Windows 7 but if I can still use Let's Edit I'll be in business for now. I read some information on running Windows XP mode on Windows 7 and I see that a special processer is needed in order to run this. Do you have any idea if my new iMac will support the Windows XP mode? Any help you can provide me will be extremely benefecial to me.
    Also, where and how can i acquire the legacy OCHI firewire driver for my video card? As i mentioned, this will be on a new model iMac so will I still need this driver to be installed seperately? Why is it that the default driver installed by Windows 7 will not allow me to capture or output video?
    What I am trying to ultimately avoid at this point is having to load an outdated Windows XP OS onto my brand new iMac that utilizes 64 bit hardware and software. I will greatly appreciate any further help you can provide me.
    Thanks,
    Nick

    Some basics.
    VMs are virtual machines. They run inside or under or side by side (same thing, just what people call it) and your Mac will run Windows and this application just peachy - perfect for anything except games.
    Running Windows as Windows is also called running Windows natively (directly on the hardware, versus running in one of those VMs), is also called a dual boot: boot Mac OS -- or you boot Windows.
    VMware Fusion: Install Windows via Boot CAmp (native, on its own hardware), but / and, you can also then use Fusion (which is a VM) inside Mac OS when you want; or, you can boot and run Windows natively.
    XP Mode requires hardware virtualization to be enabled in the system board bios (that is EFI or actually UEFI, that Macs use). On a PC you have to enable it in BIOS as it is off by default usually.
    It 'should' be enabled. Separate from 64-bit hardware. And separate from your UEFI firmware which is also 64-bit. But the Mac Pro found itself with VT-d off after an Apple Security Update. Go figure.
    XP Mode is really just hardware VM. And using Sun (now Oracle) VirtualBox VM (free) is easy.
    A VM just does not benefit from 64-bit, unless you need to allocate say 4-6GB RAM in your VM, and your app definitely does not.
    Pro version is what MS sells or offers to education institutions.
    Is needed for more backup options, XP Mode, dual processor (Mac Pro).
    Download and play with VirtualBox and Windows 7 Pro 32-bit.
    I have Pro and Ultimate on two systems.

  • 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).
    Instructions for installing Windows XP Mode in Windows 7 here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2416285&stqc=true

    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.

  • Windows XP Mode on Windows 7

    Is it normal to have a Windows XP Mode folder in a Windows 7 Pro, Program Files Directory? 
    I see this key: K49H2-RPR94-QBGG4-DBCTM-YT64G. And I see the
    VXPEULA.txt file with EULA. Window XP Mode has never intentionally, or knowingly, been installed. 
    I also see Windows XP Mode base.vhd file that, by looking at properties, seems to be a virtual machine hard drive image.
    I just noticed this is in the wrong thread but not sure how to move it.

    It looks like it should show up in Programs and Features to uninstall.
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee431673(v=ws.10).aspx
    To remove Windows XP Mode
    If Windows XP Mode is running, shut it down.
    Open Control Panel.
    Under Programs, click Uninstall a program.
    Double-click Windows XP Mode.
    Also, I am unable to remove the virtual machine because it does not exist under any of the User names. Additionally, when I search for the extensions, I do not find anything.
    To delete a virtual machine
    If the virtual machine is running, shut it down or turn it off.
    If you want to delete the virtual hard disks, open the settings for the virtual machine and note the location of all virtual hard disks.
    From the Virtual Machines folder, right-click the name of the virtual machine and then click Delete. The virtual machine is removed from the folder and the virtual machine
    (.vmcx) file is moved to the Recycle Bin.
    Open Windows Explorer and browse to the location where the virtual machine files are stored. For example, the default location for virtual machine files is the following, where username is
    the name of your Windows 7 user account:%systemdrive%\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Virtual PC\Virtual Machines
    Look for and delete files that are named the same as the virtual machine and have the following extensions: .vmc, .vmc, .vpcbackup, .vsv, .vht, and .vud. You also can search for files with
    those extensions.
    That seems a bit odd. And lastly, when I attempt to remove Windows Virtual PC, it does not exist in the installed updates.
    To remove Windows Virtual PC
    Open Control Panel.
    Under Programs, click Uninstall a program.
    In the left pane, click View installed updates.
    Under Microsoft Windows, double-click Windows Virtual PC (KB958559).
    Restart the computer to finish the removal.

  • Install Instructions for Windows XP Mode in Windows 7 running in Boot Camp

    These are the instructions I used to install Windows XP Mode on my 27" iMac while booted into Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit on the Boot Camp partition, I posted them in a reply to another thread but thought they might be useful as a higher level topic.
    Reboot into Windows 7 on your iMac and follow these instructions:
    1. Download and install Windows XP mode from the following Microsoft website. You do not need an XP installation disk, XP will be installed automatically by this process (there are three links to click, in order, to install this. The site will perform a Windows Genuine Advantage check and you may need to make sure your browser allows certain items or the install will stall until you do, look for warnings or permissions during installation in the menu bar of the browser):
    http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx
    2. After you complete the 3rd installation step, check your Start menu in Windows 7 and look for Windows Virtual PC. Open it and double click Windows XP Mode (it should be the only thing in there) to boot up XP.
    3. You can adjust the amount of RAM you allocate to XP mode by going to the Start Menu --> Windows Virtual PC again, then right click on Windows XP Mode, then choose Settings.
    It works great but I can't get it to fill my 27" screen in full screen mode, let me know if you figure out how to do that. --thanks

    Instructions, not a question.

  • LPTI redirect in Virtual WIndows XP mode using WIndows 7 Pro

    I have an application that only prints to LPT1. The application only can run on XP so I installed it on Virtual Windows XP mode. The application works ok but I cannot print. The printer I have is a USB printer that is installed on Windows 7 Pro and I am
    able to share that printer in XP mode. In the past when the application was installed on a dedicated XP Pro operating system, I was able to get the application to print to my USB printer by using the NET USE LPT1 command.
    My problem now is how to I get the application installed on Virtual Windows XP mode to be directed to the shared USB printer on Windows 7 Pro when it is looking for LPT1
    Your help is greatly appreciated.
     

    Hi,
    XP Mode does not have access to parallel ports so the DOS command to use LPT1 within XP Mode will fail, have you checked this link?

  • HT1338 Has anyone successfully installed Windows XP Mode and Windows Virtual PC software inside Windows 7 Pro inside Parallels 8 inside Mountain Lion running on a Mac Pro built in 2013?

    I wanted to ask if anyone using a Mac Pro running Mountain Lion, Parallels 8, and Windows 7 Pro could run XP Mode? 
    My experience has not been encouraging in that I progress to the end of the final mile, that is configuring XP Mode for first use, then an error message appears saying I should try again, that is I should attempt to configure XP Mode again for the first time use.  An endless loop, with no visibility into the nature of my configuration failure.
    I understand my problem is a narrowly focused, microsoft-centric issue, however, I would imagine this XP behavioral Mode running inside Windows 7 Pro is a common goal for many users, so I thought this question was reasonable to ask our group.
    Please advise, and thank you.

    Hello FatMac,
    I wanted to let you know that your "requires a patch" feedback looked--at first--like the piece of the puzzle I was missing.  Turned out, however, when I downloaded the 64 bit version of the patch, then attempted to install it under Windows 7 Pro, my installation was first searched, then my patch installation returned a message saying this patch was not applicable to my system. (BTW:my Windows 7 install is 64 bit) This failure to install surprised me because, based on an earlier evaluation for hardware virturalization support, my MacPro does not have virturalization hardware support.  I mean, based on this no hardware support feedback, and based on the nature of this patch, it looked as if the patch should install and set my problem right.
    Nevertheless, the patch won't install, and I don't know a way to query or coerce it.  I'm approaching the point of diminishing returns with this problem.  I have two applications (Adobe Illustrator 10 and Framemaker 7.0) which will run, but they don't behave properly, under Windows 7.  BTW: I did make somewhat extensive use of the Windows compatibility tool early on, but nevertheless, FrameMaker 7 simply quits at the worst possible moment, and Illustrator 10 graphics are very often blank black areas where pallettes should be. 
    Thanks again for your thoughts and help.  I believed we were heading down the right track, but for reasons not visible to me, (the user), the patch that should fix this problem will not install...
    If there is any saving grace to this situation, my problem is repeatable.  I mean, it's not on-again/off-again.  When I attempt to configure XP Mode for its first use, the progress bar turns red at the final second, then complains that it could not complete its setup.  Please Try Again recouts its final advice.  (Famous words marking the beginning of an endless loop:-)
    Were it not for Illustrator and FrameMaker, I would not have taken us down this dark road. 
    So long for now, and hope to talk to you all again soon...

  • In XP Mode on Windows 7, after installing application as like I would normally on an actual XP system, application will not start in windows XP mode itself.

    Just did a clean install of windows 7.  I then downloaded windows XP mode and Windows Virtual Mode.  Everything ran flawlessly and everything is updated.  I needed to Install a program called Dentrix 10.5 which can only be installed on Windows
    XP for numerous reasons and one including it needing to use Microsoft .NET 1.0.  I installed this program on Windows XP Mode as I would as if I were installing it with a computer with windows XP.  The Install of the program went fine and completed.
     Still being in Windows XP Mode I wanted to see how it would run.  I hit Start Menu, All Programs, Startup Programs, and clicked on the Dentrix Application.  Once I clicked it the time glass on the  mouse was there for a few seconds and
    then went away without the application starting up at all.  One thing that I'm thinking is why after I clicked Start Menu, All programs, is why was Dentrix not in its own folder and instead in the Startup programs after All programs?  Any Ideas how
    to get the program to run?  Like I said, I am trying to run the program in Windows XP Mode and not Windows 7 as I have found many Q's and A's on only how to do that.  Also this is the second application which I downloaded and the first being Microsoft
    Security Essentials so I know I don't have some virus from keeping from opening the Dentrix Application.  Incase you are wondering the Microsoft Security Essentials opens and runs fine in Windows XP Mode.  So Pretty Much My Main question is: Why
    my application not starting up in Windows XP Mode?  Any help is greatly appreciated! 

    Once I clicked it the time glass on the mouse was there for a few seconds and then went away without the application starting up at all.
    A couple times a week I open Dentrix 11.0 in a virtual machine on Windows 7. I experience the same thing almost every time I open the VM. I must first get Windows to "reconnect" my network for me. Do this by opening Start | My Computer, and
    double-click on the mapped network drive leading to the Dentrix data. After I can see the Dentrix data drive, Dentrix will be able to read it too and will open correctly.
    In Dentrix, seeing nothing (or briefly seeing a hourglass and then seeing nothing) is a classic sign that either:
    - The database files are marked as Read Only
    - The program cannot access the data files (probably the folder it is pointed to does not contain any data).
    - Or possibly the database path does not point to the right location where the data files are located
    Open the folder where you installed the program files of Dentrix (probably c:\program files\dentrix\) and double-click to run EP.EXE. The database path will be revealed. You can "Browse" to the correct location, and "OK" through the dialog to
    close them. Then try opening Dentrix again.
    Should that not work, open Start | My Computer, and try to open the path (starting with the drive letter, then the folder structure you saw in EP.EXE).
    By the way, if your path uses UNC (starting with two back-slashes and then the computer name of the server), you'll need to map a network drive and replace your path with a mapped drive path. (Map a drive in Start | My Computer | Tools | Map Network
    Drive). Dentrix really doesn't like UNC paths.
    Dentrix 10.5 can only be installed on Windows XP
    Microsoft .NET 1.0
    Just FYI, Microsoft .Net Framework 1.0 is required only for the "Time Clock" feature of Dentrix. Windows 7 already has .NET Framework features up to version 3.5 built in, and Time Clock (in my experience) works great under Windows 7 without installing
    .NET 1.0.
    Have you tried installing directly in Windows 7? I have a specific reason why I don't (I have a newer version of Dentrix installed on my Win 7 machine, and use the VM to go back to an older database occasionally - so I can't mix two different program versions
    on the same machine). If you were to try installing this program under Windows 7 directly, Dentrix will launch the Microsoft .NET Framework install after the Dentrix install is completed. Just cancel out at that point (Windows will probably give you an "incompatibility"
    error message anyway before allowing the install to go through) and I believe you can run it under Windows 7. That might eliminate the networking-through-the-VM issue. So, if you have no other reason not to install Dentrix on your Windows 7 machine directly,
    I'd try it. You might be surprised and if it works, you'd save yourself some headache with connecting the to network through the virual machine.
    Is why was Dentrix not in its own folder and instead in the Startup programs after All programs?
    During the installation, on the Select Program Folder screen, you must have clicked the "Startup" option under Existing Folders. By default, "Dentrix" will be typed into the box at the top. If you simply clicked Next, it would have gone
    to the correct location. The screen is a little confusing, because something in the list will be highlighted by default, but what is typed into the box at the top will actually be used.

  • Windows XP mode with Virtual PC will not install / two problems

    Hello!  I posted this on the Microsoft Windows Answers forums and a moderator there suggested I post it here instead.  I also searched here for similiar problems but did not find anyone having the exact same problem as I am having.  Also for
    some reason it won't let me post links, so I had to remove them.
    I have Windows 7 Pro (64 bit) and I want to follow the instructions here:
    LINK REMOVED
    to install and run Virtual PC so I can see if some legacy XP software I have will work.
    I am using a Lenovo W520 laptop with an i7 at 2.4ghz with 8GB of RAM.
    I followed step 1/step 2 and downloaded the 500MB file for Windows XP Mode.  I installed it. 
    Problem #1:  There's a note at the bottom of the page which says "Once you have installed Windows XP Mode, click the Windows 7 Start button then select All Programs > Windows Virtual PC > Windows XP Mode to begin setup. For information on how
    to set up Windows Virtual PC and Windows XP Mode, check out "Running Windows XP Mode with Windows Virtual PC" on the Support and Videos page. "
    I am looking at the All Programs view and there's absolutely nothing which says "Windows Virtual PC" or "Windows XP Mode".  I go look at Programs and Features in the control panel and indeed, Windows XP mode is installed (and taking up 1.13GB). 
    I uninstall it and re-download the 500mb file and re-install it.  It still doesn't show up in the All Programs view, doesn't add an icon to my desktop or quick launch bar, or do anything which suggests a way to start it.  It resides in C:\Program
    Files\Windows XP Mode, but there are no executeable files there.
    Problem #2: Step 3 says  "Download Windows Virtual PC".  When I click on that button, the download starts, but never works (I tried multiple times, including after a clean reboot, with nothing except Internet Explorer running) ; I get an error
    window which says:
    "Windows Update Standalone Installer
    Installer encountered an error: 0x80070422
    The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it." 
     What is going wrong?
     Thanks.
    Note; After posting this questio on Windows Answers, some related questions popped up and I read through them.  One post points to a posting on the Sevenforums ->LINK REMOVED which suggests that Problem #2 is my real problem because I follow
    along perfectly until step #5-E and then I get the 0x80070422 error message.

    Problem 2 is the issue, without installing a virtualization program like WVPC, XP Mode can't be used.
    Try this:
    Method 1:
    I would suggest you to follow the steps and check.
    To start the Windows Installer service in Windows 7 checks the steps below.
    a) Click on start.
    b) Type Services.msc in the start search bar and press enter.
    c) Scroll down and Double-click on the service named "Windows Installer".
    d) Check the value in the 'Startup type:' field.
    e) If it's currently set to "Disabled", then this could cause the issue.
    f) Change it by selecting "Manual" from the drop-down box.
    Method 2:
    Step 1: Make sure Volume Shadow Copy Service is set to automatic and started. To do this, follow these steps:
    a) Click on Start-Run, type services.msc, the click on OK.
    b) When the Services window loads, navigate to the “Volume Shadow Copy Service ", the double click on it to open it,
    c) Make sure the "Startup Type" says "Automatic" and
    started. If it doesn't, use the drop down menu to change it.
    d) If it already says: "Automatic", then click on the "Recovery" tab at the top, and change the "First Failure" line to "Restart the Service", then click on "apply", then OK.
    Step 2: Run Check disk to fix any bad sectors on the hard drive.
    a. Click on start and in the start search bar type CMD, right click on the command prompt icon in the programs area and then click on run as administrator.
    b. At the command prompt type chkdsk /f and then press enter.
    Now, type in chkdsk /r
    Note: CHKDSK would try to recover bad sectors on the hard disk, during this process there are chances of DATA loss from that particular sector.
    Step 3: Disable the security software and then start the backup; follow the steps mentioned in the link below
    Disable-antivirus-software
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Disable-antivirus-software
    Important: Enable the security software back once everything is done.

  • 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.

  • Windows XP Mode, Unidentified device fails to attach

    Would you please assist me with the following:
    I wish to use a CDR 2000 USB x-ray sensor in Windows XP Mode under Windows 7 Pro 64.
    There are no drivers available for Windows 7, there are drivers available Windows XP.  The sensor works correctly on a Windows XP PC we wish to phase out.
    In windows xp mode the usb sensor appears as "Unidentified Device" in the USB pull-down. It shows "attach" to the right.  When I select it it reports the error:
    Windows XP Mode - Windows Virtual PC
    Could not attach the USB device.  You can attach the USB device to a different USB port or restart the virtual machine and try again.
    I've tried both without success.  My system has USB 3.0 and 2.0 ports.  I've tried it on both.  Device Manager in Windows 7 shows the device when plugged in, though it is as "Unknown device".  It never appears in the Windows
    XP Mode device manager.
    Thanks for your help!

    Hi,
    The drivers for this device might not work in Host, please first check in Device Manager to see if the device could be detected, make sure the BIOS is configured to use USB 2, then redirect the device and install the driver from within Windows XP.

  • Windows XP Mode problem

    Hello! So I have Windows XP mode and Virtual PC installed, but whenever I try to set up XP Mode for the first time, it loads a little bit then the computer
    either completely resets or gets a blue screen. I have a Dell Inspiron 1521 with Windows 7 Ultimate (32-bit) installed. My computer does have hardware-assisted virtualization. Please help!
    Thanks,
    -Zach

    Hi Zach,
    According to the this link
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-IN/windows7/install-and-use-windows-xp-mode-in-windows-7
    You can use Microsoft Hardware-Assisted Virtualization Detection Tool to detect whether your CPU is cable of Hardware-Assisted Virtualization
