Virtual PC Usage Tips

1, the use of the discovery, VM and VPC2004 hardware configuration requirements higher. If you only have 256M memory, it is recommended to choose Virtual PC v5.2, which consumes less system resources and is simpler and easier to use. I downloaded the virtual PC for Windows V5.2 registration full version. In my C1.7G/256M/WINXP+SP1 host environment, virtual a WIN2K+SP4, allocate 96M of memory, running speed can be

2, after installing the operating system, do not forget to install/update additional modules. Add-on modules are programs that fix the inconvenient and enhanced operating system features of installed operating systems. When you install Virtual PCs, a module is included, but this module is only available for Windows operating systems, and the operating system is installed with 32-bit true color 800*600 resolution, and the mouse is no longer restricted to Windows, and you can share folders on a physical hard disk. Use the data on your physical hard disk through shared folders in your Virtual PC.

3, Virtual pc default hotkey for the keyboard to the right alt. Before installing additional modules, press the ALT on the right side of the keyboard to limit the mode in Virtual PC window, hotkey +enter toggle Full-screen, Hotkey +del equivalent to press Ctrl+alt+del.

4, network settings, I would like to speak in detail.

Shared transformation Mode NAT: The Guest os,guest OS can be accessed by other machines in the network via a host using NAT protocol to access other PCs in the network. It is to be noted that in this state, the guest OS's Network Neighborhood is generally unable to access other PCs, the previous use of NAT protocol access to it, refers to the use of virtual PC "property settings" inside the "Shared folder" function (if you install additional modules, see 2nd). You can choose this option if you want to share the Internet with the host.

Virtual Transformation Network: The guest OS is equivalent to a machine in the network, other machines in the network can access the guest Os,guest OS can also access other machines in the network, of course, two-way access to the host is also not a problem. Here's a visit that includes a visit to an online neighborhood, just as if you had one more machine. If you want to use a virtual machine network, you typically select this option.

No. Oh, the safest option, but I don't think anyone will choose this one.

5, Virtual PC network sharing mode and VMware are different. VMware is the network share through analog NIC, and Virtual PC is by the existing network card binding Virtual PC emulated switch service to achieve network share. Host for the 2000/XP system, when the host network line is not plugged in, Virtual PC network adapter, such as set to use the host real card, often unable to communicate with the host normally. You should install the Microsoft Loopback Adapter virtual soft card on the host (preferably before installing the virtual machine), and then the Virtual PC will be set up to use the host's MS Loopback soft card, which can communicate normally with the host after reboot. It should be noted that when the host network cable plugged in, such as Virtual PC or set to use the host's MS Loopback soft card, then Virtual PC can not communicate with the host and the external network normal communication, at this point, you need to reset Virtual PC to use the host Real network card.
