Issue with Virtual PC and Dreamscape

March 21, 2007 1:14:29 PM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums
Hi,

I really like DeskScapes, but it seems that it doesn't work with Virtual PC 2007.
Each time I launch a virtual machine, my computer hangs and I have to reset it

I hope that an update will take care of this issue ...

Regards,
Fabien

Not sure what to say. 

My understanding is that Virtual PC does not support Vista being virtualized (i.e. goes against MS's license).

Are you running Vista in a virtual machine or running Virtual Machine on Vista?

Frogboy: Vista Ultimate can be virtualized. It's the Home SKUs that aren't licensed for virtualization.

And to the OP - I run DreamScape with VPC 2007 all the time and have never experienced an issue. What video card and driver version do you have?

I'm running Virtual Machine on Vista Ultimate

My video card is a Nvidia GeForce 6800 Ultra with the 100.65 Forceware drivers.

Thanks for your help ...
