From: Jerry on 10 Apr 2010 10:44 Running Virtual PC under Windows 7 64-bit. In the XP Professional virtual machine, I can only have the 1441x918 pixels 16 bit display (there are no other options under Settings). I was able to get other options when running XP in Virtual PC 2007 under Vista. I am also able to get other options in Vista and Linux virtual machines now, but not under XP. Why is that? Is there a solution? Will appreciate any advice.
