Windows Virtual PC Issue

I have a Mac Book Pro (OS X 10.6.5) - all firmware/software is updated and current.
I'm running Parallels Desktop and Win 7 Pro on my virtual machine.
I'm trying to setup Win XP with the Windows Virtual PC tool. I'm able to install, but when I attempt to run the app, I'm receiving "this computer does not have hardware-assisted virtualization...".
A workaround is to change the BIOS, but with the MAC and Parallels, I want to know 1) if it is possible to change the BIOS and 2) use Windows Virtual PC in this environment.
MS Support was no help and sent the following links:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2744
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1237
Parallels support stated "I would like to inform you that it is not possible to use Virtualization under a virtualized Windows." (No further information provided...)
Any help/guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I'm running Parallels Desktop and Win 7 Pro on my virtual machine.

  • Cannot Install Windows Virtual PC 0x80004005

    Hi,
    I was wondering if anyone could help me because I am unable to install Windows Virtual PC (KB958559) on Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit with an i5 750 CPU.
    As soon as my PC reboots I get an 0x80004005 error code when Windows Update is nearing completion. I have tried reinstalling the Windows Update Agent without much luck.

  • Windows Virtual PC and XP Mode refuses to start after update 25 February 2014

    I have been using Virtual PC and XP Mode now successfully for more than 1 year. I am running Windows 7 Profession on a i7-2600 with 8 GB
    But after the update on 25 February 2014 to both the XP Mode and Windows 7, my Virtual PC no longer works. It loops continuously and never starts.
    Is anyone else having this problem? Are there any hot fixes? We have our accounting and address management system running in XP mode, so this is quite important to find a fast solution.
    Thanks very much
    David

    Hi,
    Rename the .vsv (virtual machine saved states) file in "C:\Users\[user id]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows
    Virtual PC\Virtual Machines",then start the VM again.
    As a test, you can also uninstall the newly installed updates, check whether this issue is related with the updates. Generally, Windows Updates will not cause any issues, but if some software installed in your system conflicts with it or the updates
    not installed correctly, it will cause some unexpected issues.

  • Windows Update Stalls When Running in Windows 7/Windows Virtual PC/Win XP_ Mode

    Hi
    This is Bob in Tallahassee. Can anyone please help.  I installed Win7 Pro on a newly built PC and then Windows Virtual PC/Win XP Mode.  When I try running Windows Update in the XP mode window, it keeps cycling "searching for updates"
    and never reaches the next step, never stops cycling.  I checked msconfig and there is a process "svchost.exe" eating 99% of resources.   It is likely related to windows update. When I shut it down, my internet connection is cut
    off, but the Windows Update still keeps cycling. I have tried all I know, including optimizing bios for virtualization.  Is there another setting that I'm missing?    Thanks.  Bob

  • Can't install my printer on Windows virtual machine using  Leopard OS

    Have just installed Leopard and Parrallels software. I cannot install my HP C3180 printer on the virtual windows machine. USB plug and unplug are not recognized and suspect it is because the printer is in use on the Mac OS side. How can I get the same printer to be connected and usable in both MAC and Windows virtual machines?

    I had exactly the same issue as you when I wanted to print from my iMac to a printer that was attached to a Windows 7 machine.
    I found the solution at an Apple Support page, located at "http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3049".
    What really solved my problem was the introduction of the user PASSWORD in the address line, like this:
    smb://user:password@workgroup/server/sharename
    Read the Apple Support page I mentioned carefully to better understand what you will be doing.
    I hope this helps you.

  • Windows Virtual PC running Windows 7 Pro on Windows 7 Pro with Network Sharing (NAT)

    I have been trying to get a new install of Windows 7 in Windows Virtual PC 6.1 to use the Shared Networking with the Windows 7 host.
    It works with Windows XP as the guest. I tried changing the DNS to 192.168.131.254 and 252. It works through a dedicated NIC but I need NAT because I have to use the IP of the host (this is in a computer lab where students play with their own Windows 7 vhd).
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • Windows XP mode/ Windows virtual PC

    I have to support some LV7.1 programs (along with newer versions).  I just bought a new laptop with Windows 7 Home 64-bit.  LV7.1 loads and runs, but the drivers disk pukes on the 64-bit OS.  (This was not unexpected...)
    The new PC does have an Intel processor that will support Windows Virtual PC and Windows XP mode.  
    I will need to upgrade to W7 Pro, but before I do, I'd like to get some feeling that it will all work.  Should older NIDaq, MAX, etc. install OK in XP mode?  Has anybody done this?  Is there another solution that is better?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Seth,
    Thanks for the speedy reply.
    I try to use NI-DAQmx, but I won't swear that I don't have traditional DAQ routines out there.  I would like to run real hardware (USB DAQ) on my new laptop, de-bug and burn executables.
    What are my options?  I could keep LV7.1 on my old desktop, newer versions on my new laptop.  Would I be running afowl of LV's EULA?  Does NI care about antique versions of LV?
    I see that NI-DAQmx 9.0 supports versions LV8.2.1, 8.5.1 and 8.6.1.  If I put these on my 64-bit, will executables I make run on 32-bit target systems?
    I don't want to flush Windows 7 64-bit to install the 32-bit.  I want it all!
    My company has let my subscription lapse.  I don't have LV 2009.  Not much chance of an upgrade this year...

  • Running windows virtual. Will thunderbolt ethernet adapter work?

    Hi
    I need to program SIEMENS PLC. I want to buy a mba but this program (step 7 tia portal) only runs on windows. so I want to run it in virtual mode (parallel or virtualbox vw ware fusion.. w/e). The older plc's can be programmed with a usb connection but this connection (usb) will work in windows virtual mode right?
    but here's the deal, the newer plc's can ONLY be programmed with a internet connection. so I need to give my virtual windows 7 a static ip address before I can connect with my plc.
    will these both connections work? I need to know before I buy one.. and everyone gives me different answers..
    thnx alot.
    ps: sorry for bad english

    Here is a screen shot from VMware. This is accessible from the Settings ->  Network Adapter -> Network Adapter Settings...
    If you click on the TB Ethernet, radio button (as highlighted by the box), it will prompt you for the Administrative password and then create a virtual bridge interface using this physical connection.

    I have removed the ecp site from default site and attempting to rerun SP1 now. I do not have high hopes. :(

    Hi,
    Thanks for your response.
    From the error description, you need to manually remove the ECP with IIS manager in both the Default Web Site and the Exchange Back End firstly. And then continue the upgrade to check the result.
    Hope this can be helpful to you.

  • Windows Virtual PC (KB958559) will not install, "This update is not applicable to your computer."

    Windows Virtual PC KB958559 never installs. It says "This update is not applicable to your computer." Here are my details...
    Dell Inspiron M6400, Intel Core2 Duo T9550, Hardware Virtualization is present and has been enabled in bios which was updated recently
    Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit, build 7600.16539.x86fre.win7_gdr.100226-1909
    Any ideas? I have seen the other posts but nothing seemed to be a solution. Another strange behavior that may (or may not) be related is that when I try to load the "Turn Windows features on or off" the box loads blank.

    Firstly, please read the following article on how to resolve the blank dialog box of “Windows Features”:
    The "Windows Features" dialog box is empty in Windows 7 or Windows Vista, or you receive an error message that includes
    the following code when you try to use Windows Update: "0x80073712"
    Then,
    empty the Temporary Internet files and %Temp% folder.
    At last, download

  • Got an error when install oracle 9i in linux 9 in windows virtual server

    Hi Guys,
    I am installing an oracle 9i in my laptop that is linux 9 server which is hosted in windows virtual server. when I ran runInstaller, I got an eror that is can't connect x11 windows server using........ When I ran xterm, I got can't open dispaly. xhost + also dosn't work. Is that ok that I can install oracle in a linux that is installed in windows virtual server? What value can I set to DISPLAY value?
    Thank in advance.

    Linux 9? You mean the one that was end-of-lifed in 2004? (Just checking ...)
    If yes, you gotta decide whether it's the 'Linux 9 Boxed Version' or the 'Linux 9 Download Version'. The two have completely different compiler and glibc packages that are incompatible. Fix that incompatibility - relative to Oracle's needs - and you will be able to make Oracle9i limp along.

  • SWTBot tests inconsistent for Kepler in Windows Virtualized Environment

    Hallo,
    I am using SWTBot to test an Eclipse E4 RCP Application based on Eclipse 4.3 (Kepler).
    My SWTBot tests are run as part of a Maven / Tycho Build.
    When I launch the maven build on my development workstation the tests are working.
    On the build server the maven build is trigged by TFS / MSBuild
    Before the 6th of June, 2015 , the tests used to run both in my development environment and in the build environment.
    Now, after 6th of June, the tests are not working anymore on the Build server (Vindows Virtualized Environment). There was no code change in the period, but now the tests are failing.
    Currently the tests executed on the build server are always returning an error similar to this: "Could not find widget : .. "
    As described above, the same tests are working on my local development environment; and the same tests used to work on the build server in previous months.
    So,
    (1) I am wondering if there was any change in the SWTBot code, that resulted in an incompatibility with Windows Virtual Environment.
    (2) Is it possible to get the state of the update site before June 2015 ?
    - If so please, tell me how
    Thank you in advance for spending your time on this

    I love Windows on my MacBook, but I'm not a gamer (at all) and I know gaming is the ultimate road-test. Your post indicates you are likely competent enough to draw a thorough conclusion on your own, but I notice you have not considered malware, spyware, virus & anti-virus interference. I suppose this was likely taken care of by a fresh install, but maybe reinfection happened just as fast. One thing I have done is to open Device Manager and identify + update all possible stale drivers. Apple is not that aggressive at providing new ones.
    Must be vexing to have this happen, but it is an interesting post, since people everywhere are wondering if Apple hardware really IS as good as PC....
    I invite gamers everywhere to add to this..... Cheers

  • Windows 7 Firewire Issues with CS5 and ADVC-700

    I've got a Windows 7, 64 bit system with CS 5. In dubbing out for playback, I route a firewire cable from the PC to an Canopus/Grass Valley ADVC-700. Both units are less than a year old and are having issues with "black outs" during the dub out process. I've read different things about Windows 7 having issues with firewire drivers. After speaking to someone with Adobe, I've changed my firewire driver to Legacy. That hasn't helped.
    The ADVC-700 has s-video out running to preview monitor and BNC out/XLR audio running to my playback system for ingest. When the video goes to black (usually for a 1/2 second), the audio drops out with it.
    I've reset the settings on the ADVC-700 with no luck.
    Any suggestions on a fix or something else to try?

    I did test with a JVC GY-HD200U and there weren't any performance issues which led me back to the PC or other on the PC.
    The system is running Windows 7, 64 bit with CS5 Production Premium following an upgrade from the CS4 version.
    I've got 12 GB of Ram, (2) Intel Xeon Quad Core E5560 -2.8 GHZ processoCrs.
    (1) 500GB SATA2 hard drive, 7200 RPM, 32 MC (System Drive)
    (3) 1 TB SATA2 Hard drives, 7200 RPM, 32 MC (3 TB, RAID0 Storage Drive)
    Nvidia GeForce 9800GT graphics Card
    Supermicro X8DAi motherboard, Intel 5520 Chipset, 2-PCIe X16, 1 PCIe x4, 3-PCI, 10-USB2 ports, 2-pro/1000 NIC, 8-channel HD audio, 6 SATA ports, RAID 0/1/5/10
    I've got the legacy drivers for the firewire card. I've checked to make sure all of the power save options are off along with all screen saver options. I've cleaned my Adobe Cache out, deleted my Adobe Preferences, went from the 4pin/6pin cable to a 6pin/6pin cable to feed the ADVC-700 from the PC, reset the ADVC 700 back to factory specs...all of this with no luck.
    The problem seems to be worse since the move from CS4 to CS5 but it's hard to tell.
    I've also hooked up an older ADVC-500 unit with the same output results.
    I think I noted in the first post that this is happening on two indentical systems with the same cabling and programs and the same ADVC-700 boxes.
    I've been told by Adobe to clean my C; drive and reload the OS and Adobe CS5 as I should have done that when I upgraded instead of just upgrading the system from CS4 to CS5 using the discs. I haven't done this yet as I have to budget time/workflow to accomodate.
