From: Mr. S.K. on 14 Feb 2010 02:46 Hello, Installed and ran Windows XP Mode on Windows 7 x64. Forgot if and what I changed to the system configuration, but the result is that I can not get Windows XP Mode to run anymore. Tried deinstalling (VPC and Update as well), reinstalling, copying working configuration files, edited accordingly all to be no help. When I start XP Mode, there is a little bit of system activity, but XP Mode is not launched. How can I truely repair my installation of Windows XP Mode on W7 x64? Any insight appreciated. Si.Ko.

See if the known troubleshooting steps does help you here : http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee449440(WS.10).aspx Otherwise finally you can also un/reinstall the KB : KB958559 is responsible for the Windows Virtual PC it self and the package WindowsXPMode_en-us.exe does only extract the XP workstation VM instance.

I followed the steps to reinstall XP Mode/Virtual PC, but whenever I click XP Mode, the mouse cursor just briefly changes to hour-glass, no disc activity and that's it. Nothing starts! Getting hopeless here. -- -- /> "RCan" wrote: > Hi Mr S.K. > > > Forgot if and what I changed to the system configuration, but the result > > is > > that I can not get Windows XP Mode to run anymore. > > :-) > > > How can I truely repair my installation of Windows XP Mode on W7 x64? > > See if the known troubleshooting steps does help you here : > http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee449440(WS.10).aspx > > Otherwise finally you can also un/reinstall the KB : > KB958559 is responsible for the Windows Virtual PC it self and the package > WindowsXPMode_en-us.exe does only extract the XP workstation VM instance. > > Regards > Ramazan > > . >
From: RCan on 6 Mar 2010 06:05 Hi Mr S.K., generally is your hardware capable to run VPC for Windows ? On the download page there is a testing tool which identifys the capability of your CPU. If your VPC service is running, then you should only extract WindowsXPMode_en-us.exe and attach it to your VPC.

The thing is: I was running it succesfully once, but I guess I destroyed something and I do not remember what is was and how to repair it. Is there supposed to be a VPC Service? What is the exact name? What other system dependencies are necessary?
