Hello iraq it,

Welcome to the Seven Forums.

Can you show us any error messages? You can use the snipping tool for this. Info here if needed: How to use the Snipping Tool in Vista - Vista Forums

Have you tried installing VPC in compatibility mode for Vista? Info here: Compatibility Mode

Gary

I dont have Windows Vista so snipping tool is not vaild, I have Windows XP SP2.

Compatibility is not working, usually most of the programs stop installing and a message said that Microsoft is connecting to the Internet to solve the problem and nothing happened.

I search for an update for Virtual PC 2007 and firefox to run on Windows 7 but I didnt find.

Any help please?

Thanks,

Well which is it? Are you trying to install it on XP or Win 7? I have used VPC 07 on all 3 OS without issues.

I have Windows 7 installed and I want to install Virtual PC 2007 SP1.

I coudnt do that with Windows XP SP2 compatiblity so any idea?

The snipping tool is present in windows 7, you can use it to show us a screen shot of the error message you encounter when trying to install the app.

Firefox has no issue running in windows 7.

OK, here is the error for installing VPC:




The firefox has the same error megs.

P.S. Guys, I am new to Windows 7 so may simple issue can solve all the problems so forgive me.

Did you choose the correct version? meaning 32 vs 64 bit? I see you are getting the same issue with Firefox, I would do another OS install, did you upgrade or do a full clean install?

Yes, its 32-bit version and I just make sure from that from the device manager.

Its clean install and not upgrade for Windows XP SP2, is it preferable to be Upgrade?

I just installed Acrobat reader, Yahoo IM, Nod32 but still problem with FF, VPC and other software!

Any suggestions?

No do not upgrade from XP, I don't think it's even possible anyway. What is bothering me is that FF isn't working.

Worse case, just re-install Windows 7 (update it) and install FF and VP first. That will rule out anything else.
