[tvdavid]

HI

I have just got a copy of vista only thing though is I want to keep XP as my main OS for now.
I found this software virtual pc 2007
And am running Vista on XP
Only thing is it says I have no graphics card and theres no sound.
This is what it looks like on my PC.

Vista and XP are still quite fast.

Some info here:

"Eventually I found that after you install the VM Additions, the sound driver is silently copied into the guest OS's "C:\Program Files\Virtual Machine Additions" folder. All you need to do to get sound working is "update" your audio controller driver within your Vista guest OS and tell it you Have Disk... and point it at that folder and voila! Beautiful sound. (without any restarts either)."

Edit: Not sure that will definitely work, as I always thought the VM used ISA SB emulation, which I doubt Vista will support.

just get wmware and get it over with. virtual pc 2007 has known issues with that, and if you scour the web you will see what people are talking about.
