Virtual PC 2004 doesn’t Work on Windows Vista
When Virtual PC 2004 was installed on Windows Vista Premium the warning message below was shown:
Nonetheless, Virtual PC installed successfully and was able to create Virtual images using the 2004 version. After completing installation, below is what happened upon running the created hard drives:
As you can see, the virtual image is already running Windows XP on the VPC console; however, the real VPC did not display the operating system correctly and showed blank display.
To solve this problem, uninstall Virtual PC 2004 and install Virtual PC 2007. The images does not need conversion and can directly be added using the 2007 version. After these steps, virtual images would run without any problems.
