Virtual PC
-
Hello, I've just installed Virtual PC 2004 on my laptop(Pentium M 1.4, 512MB DDR). I've been trying to install new driver on OS running in Virtual PC but I got an alert: "your pc doesn't meet minimal hardware requirements". It's strange because i installed that drive on my laptop(outside of virtual pc) without any problems. When i right click on My Computer icon it shows that my processors has 598Mhz. It's very strange to me. Did anyone meet that or similiar problem? Thanks

I downloaded the trial version of Virtual PC 2004 to run Redhat 9. Everything was great until the reboot to start up Linux and then it somehow messed up the X Windows display. This has happened on two seperate Win2k PCs so I won't be buying it. Elaine :rose: The tigress is here :-D

If by "messed up" you mean crazy colours and lines etc. Then try configuring X to run in 16bit, most new distributions (Mandrake 10, Ubuntu, FC3(I think - and RH9 is similar to FC3 isn't it?)) are all defaulting to 24bit during installation (and in the case of Ubuntu it doesn't even give you a choice.) To fix this edit the XF86Config file to force it to use 16bit and it should work fine on VPC. (FInd the "Display" section and it should be fairly obvious what to change.) The reason for this problem is that the S3 video card that VPC emulates can't handle 24bit colour without new drivers apparently. I also had exactly the same problem on an older PC I have that has a 3D Labs Permedia card in it. Hope this helps. Chris.

I took the default settings of 800x600 in 8 bit colour after trying 16 bit on my first attempt. The display is about three times as wide as it should be and the only things visible are 'neon' outlines of the toolbar icons. Ah well :( The tigress is here :-D

"neon outlines" is a much better way of describing it than "messed up colours", but that is exactly what I was seeing (both in VPC and on the real PC). Sorry it didn't fix it for you. Have you tried Fedora Core, Ubuntu or Mandrake? I am currently running all of them under VPC2004 without any problems (apart from the initial Neon affect). Chris.

I tried installing Fedora Core 3 on Virtual PC and nothing happened. Do you know if there are issues with Fedora Core 3 ? I tried both ways, graphical and text, and both hang on the same line... RAMDISK .... uncompressed ... 0 Thanks in advance Free your mind...

Thats seems like a completely unrelated problem to the graphical problems I was talking about. I am currently running FC1 on Virtual PC, but I am sure they have changed a lot of it since then... I don't really know what that could be. Chris.
