    Virtual PC?


    I need to use a virtual PC for my networking class. I have windows XP mode installed on my computer, but I can't figure out how to make a new virtual machine..

    I've tried to install virtual pc 2007, but it won't work under 7.
    Download details: Virtual PC 2007

    Give VMWare Player a shot. It works quite well.

    Thanks Jacee. I found it a little bit after posting; the VM window looks like explorer and I didn't notice the buttons to create a new machine.
    Thanks

    And just in case you need another VM suggestion - I really like the VirtualBox (now by Oracle)

    Working great for me!

    BUT - I believe I will brush up on the Windows VM via the link Jacee provided...

    another VirtualBox advocate here! I have DOS, WIN3.11, WINXP, and Ubuntu all happily running!

    Ditto with VB for me as well.

    Win 98SE, XP Pro, Ubuntu Linux and Linux Mint and they all work great.
