Xp Mode in Win 7 Pro 64 Bit
How can one improve the video. I also have some Yellow ? in device manager for an integration device. I just recently started playing with this. I haven't used it since I Beta Testes Win 7.

You are bumping your thread after 45 minutes? Not nice, some other members might be forced to wait for days before they get an answer. Literally thousands of new questions every day, you need to have a bit patience.
That being said, the graphics driver in all Virtual PC virtual machines is an emulated S3 trio. It is very basic, simply not enough for gaming or for some GFX heavy applications.
There's no way you can replace it and use another GFX adapter, for instance your host computer's graphics simply cannot be used on a VPC virtual machine.
As the emulated S3 Trio GFX adapter only uses 16 bit colors when Virtual PC integration is enabled, you might want to follow instructions in this thread to get some more colors: I got XP mode to display 24-bit color with integration!
The integration device issue is a non-issue. Here's the same question in another thread, and my answer to it:
Thanks but if you look there is a 2 hour difference in posts. Thanks for your help.
I got into group policy but , this: Computer Configuration --> Administrative Templates --> Widnows Components --> Terminal Services and double-click on the 'Limit maximum Color Depth' object. does not exist.
P Mode with 32 bit color + integration is possible!
I found an easier way to get 24 bit colors with integration on here.
This did not work1. Run regedit in XP.
2. Navigate to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Terminal Services].
3. Add a DWORD Value named "ColorDepth" w/o parenthesis.
4. Right-click it, modify, then put "4" in the Value data.
5. Restart XP mode.

The reg file in the above post worked!
Thanks HughShaw
