• Microphone not working in Windows Virtual PC (on Windows 7)

  - by Clay Nichols

  I"m using Windows Virtual PC on Windows 7 (host) running Windows XP (as the Guest O/S) I'm trying to get the Microphone working. When I Enable Integration Features: Microphone does not work When I run the Sound Recorder, the record button is disabled. If I look at Sound settings, there are no options for the Mic (it's all disabled "grayed out"). Speakers work Copy & Paste works When I Disable Integration Features: Microphone and speakers work Copy and Paste does not (as expected) Drag'n Drop copying does not work in either situation. What I've Tried Verified that the Windows XP Mode Virtual PC guest also has the same symptoms (Mic doesn't work) and audio out (speakers) do work. I"m going to try (but have little hope) to: -Uninstall and Reinstall the Integration addin for Virtual PC

• Suggestions of inexpensive PCI Video Card (fanless or very very quiet) that'll work with Windows 7 (

  - by Clay Nichols

  I just got a very quiet Dell Optiplex 960 (with dual monitor video card) and wanted a 3rd monitor (only a PCI slot available). The PCI video card I got has a relatively loud (compared to this quiet PC) fan. I'm looking for a quiet card. Need not be very powerful as it's for the third screen which I don't use for video or games, etc. Any suggestions?

• How do you create a VHD in Windows Virtual PC (Win 7) that is linked to a real physical drive?

  - by Clay Nichols

  I know that you can create a Virtual HD in Virtual PC that is linked to a physical drive so it's not compressed, runs faster, etc. I'm now using Windows 7 and I don't see any way to create such a VHD. Only options are Dynamic, Fixed, Differencing. Any ideas?

• Would Linux be considerably faster on a Netbook with Intel Atom processor?

  - by Clay Nichols

  I've got an EEE Netbook with Intel Atom processor and Win XP. Probably 90% of the time I'm using it for webbrowsing and thinking of dual booting it in Linux and then booting into Windows only when I need to...if it would speed things up. I've tried using FF and Chrome, both are about equally slow on the netbook. Anyone have any idea of the comparative stats on this?

• What's the easiest way for a musician to make clips of their music freely availalbe?

  - by Clay Nichols

  I'm helping (pro bono) a really cool musician make samples of his music available so folks can share it. Essentially "shareware" for his music. Surely someone must have done this before. So far, I've found : http://sutros.com/ which is free but I've not read up on their Creative Commons license. And found a list here of other sites: http://www.vocalist.org.uk/artists_upload.html Any other suggestions?

• Is there a way to map a local drive letter in a Virtual PC Guest O/S to a host drive?

  - by Clay Nichols

  I have a bunch of programming projects on my P:\ drive (on Windows 7) I'm now doing some programming within Virtual PC Windows XP Mode and I'd like to "call" that drive, within the Win XP guest, the P: drive. I've mapped drive letter P: to "network" drive on the Host but that goes across the network so it's very slow. I tried using the SUBST command but it wouldn't take the \tsclients\p as a parameter. Basically, the command line interpreter (is that DOS on Win 7 ??) doesn't recognize that directory (\tsclients\p)

• Suggestions for a good under-drawer keyboard tray?

  - by Clay Nichols

  I'm looking for a good keyboard tray that would attach to my desk drawer (one of the old metal SteelCase desks). Criteria: Stable and solid (we had one that wiggled and it drove me crazy). Allows the drawer to move in and out. Easy installation would be nice. Inexpensive (<$100) would be nice, but I'll consider expensive ones if they meet all of the above.

• How to expand HD space that Virtual PC "sees" as *available* in Guest O/S

  - by Clay Nichols

  I have run into this problem several times: I go to install some software in Virtual PC with a Dynamic HD on the Guest O/S. And while the HD can expand up to 16 GB or so (plenty to spare on the physical HD) the Guest O/S sees only 3 GB or so (and maybe 500 MB free). And the installer balks that there isn't enough HD space available to install within the Guest O/S. Any ideas?

• Is there an IE8 setting for "minimum font size" to display?

  - by Clay Nichols

  When I look at our website in IE8 the text we have set to display smaller doesn't display smaller. But when I use BrowserShots.org it shows IE8 renderings with the smaller text appropriately smaller. So I'm thinking that there must be some setting in IE8 for "minimum font size to display". It's not the the TextSize (set to Medium) or Zoom setting (I set/reset zoom to 100%). It's something else. Any ideas?

• How to re-enable Autoplay for removeable drives on Windows 7

  - by Clay Nichols

  When I plug a USB thumb drive into my Win7 PC, it no longer auto-launches the window giving me options like "Import Photos" or "browse". The drive is recognized but nothing autolaunches. Similarly, CD's don't autoplay either. I verified that Win7 is set to autoplay, per method 1 and 2 of: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/27544-autoplay-enable-disable-autorun.html FYI, there is a similar question (but for Windows XP) here on SU.

• Anyone tried boosting Windows performance by putting Swap File on a Flash drive?

  - by Clay Nichols

  Windows Vista introduced ReadyBoost which lets you use a Flash drive as a third (after RAM and HD) type of memory. It occurred to me that I could boost peformance on an old PC here w/ Win XP (32 bit, max'd at 4GB RAM) by putting it's swap file (page file) on a flash drive. (Now, before anyone comments: apparently Flash drives (10-30MB/s transfer rates) are slower than HDD (100+ MB/s) (I'm asking that as a separate question on this forum).

• What is the official Microsoft name for Windows 8 versions: Intel compatible vs. ARM?

  - by Clay Nichols

  Windows 8 will, AFAIK, be available in two very different flavors: One that supports old Windows programs (intel processor, I think) and the other will be an ARM processor which does NOT support x86 programs. I need to know how to refer to these to let customers clearly know which version of Windows we (currently) support. It looks like the terminology is: Windows 8 : This will be backward compatible with Win 32 apps. Windows RT: Runs on ARM-based processor devices (probably mainly tablets) and does not support

• Can you password protect access to a directory (to local and networked PCs) in Windows XP Pro?

  - by Clay Nichols

  I could just compress the directory as a .zip file w/ a password (which I think would just look like a compressed folder w/ a password) but I'd like something with less overhead (i.e., none of the decompression, etc.) Any ideas? Clarification/update: I'd like to have anyone be able to access it from another computer if they know the password. I.e., I don't want them to have to log in as a different user, etc., but, rather just enter a password.
