Windows 2000 under Windows 7 Virtual PC not working correctly
- by dave
I have just moved my Windows 2000 Virtual PCs from Vista to Windows 7 Professional (64-bit). The machines work to a point but I have found some problems:
drive mapping does not seem to work any more. I need this to exchange data. I do not need network access to the virtual PC so would rather leave it unconnected.
the virtual PC would automatically shutdown the session and go to the login screen after a few minutes of inactivity.
I tried installing the Virtual PC Integration Components but the install failed (one of the messages basically says it's XP+ only). Now I'm stuck in 640x480 mode with mouse capture.
I have heard that you can install an older version of the Integration Components but this sounds a bit suspect.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to get Windows2000 working with drive sharing on a Virtual PC?
