Privacy Terms. The community for beta and abandonware collectors. Quick links. Windows NT 5. Everything works right until the first GUI part of setup. It then immediately gives me an error box: "An internal virtual machine error 3 has occured. The virtual machine will reset". In VirtualBox, the setup works straight from the CD without any errors at all. Was there something I missed? Has anyone else successfully installed build in Virtual PC? Re: Windows NT 5. Also, you might wish to try 86Box.
AlphaBeta, stop brainwashing me immediately! Are you sure you disabled ACPI and power management? Also make sure you disable hardware assisted virtualization. This one's on me Saturday, May 2, PM. Monday, May 4, AM. However, there is a workaround. Once you do, install Virtual PC and it starts right up. Wednesday, May 6, PM. Thanks korebreach, that worked like a charm. Good tip Tuesday, May 12, AM. This is certainly not what we intend end users to do.
If you have vpc. Then you can run Virtual PC Wednesday, May 13, AM. Friday, May 15, PM. The only way this will be of any use is if they get the speed up and get Direct3D working. I agree, except that VmWare costs a lot more! Windows XP Mode is a good idea, and I would imagine that it would be quite useful once it is working perfectly. The majority of reviews appear to like it, and they all agree that it is slow and sluggish.
I do have 2 questions: 1 Why is it aimed at business users? I imagine there are quite a few home users who have applications which will benefit from this. Win 7 had many builds, an official beta and now an official RC. Sunday, May 17, AM. Most home users get their OS via the purchase of a new computer and besides not having downgrade options available, most wouldn't know how to reinstall an OS from scratch anyway.
Businesses on the other hand, generally have volume license agreements which include downgrade rights. The install takes 40 minutes and while there are long intervals where no human input is required, the whole procedure slows up the host machine.
When the the earlier Vista builds finished installing, I was disappointed. In , the color resolution meant an atrocious display of any graphics moreover, the machine ran unacceptably slowly — even for Beta software.
Then I remembered the Virtual Machine Additions. In a nutshell installing this add-on transformed my Vista experience. With build I learnt from this experience and attempted to add the Virtual Machine Additions even before I started the install. It seemed to install very quickly — too quickly. To cut a long story short, this procedure was useless, the machine kept prompting me to install the Virtual Machine Additions. Finally, I went for the throat.
What lulled me was the fact that build and had good graphics from the start and silly me thought the slow performance was down to a checked beta version, the reality was the slow performance was down to lack of Virtual Machine Additions. I will probably never know if my experience with the previous build was user error or a beta bug. Beta testing is like that, stuff happens and I am not sure who to blame, me or Vista Beta.
The error was: The virtual machine could not be started because there was not enough memory available on the host. Therefore, try judicious zapping images in Task manager until you find the root cause, I say again, take care ending processes. The safe way would be to remove programs via the Add or Remove Programs. The above problem did not occur with build only I credit Microsoft for ironing out that behaviour, however, it could have been the fact that I upgraded from Nero 6 to Nero 7.
Once you have installed Vista in your virtual machine, access it via Remote Desktop from your host machine. Obtain your copy of Windows Vista by either downloading an Image from connect.
Capture the image from the CD menu. The actual installation takes about half an hour, but the menus are straightforward, even easy if you have experience from installing XP.
