a retail copy of xp. don't have one? download windows 7 beta for free. google windows 7 beta, go to the windows site link (you'll have to sign up so make a fake account) they give you a cd key and start downloading ( only works in IE). if you want xp and don't have a disc then borrow one from a friend, find one on craigslist or ebay. if you really want it and can't get it then contact CDW or Dell tell them you want a 1 license of windows vista. they'll tell you that you need to have 5 licensing in order to get licensing. ask them for the cheapest licensed piece of microsoft whatever. they send you and email to an eopen site. sign up and download xp. you can download xp because when you license software microsoft gives you the right to downgrade to the previous version. if this doesn't get me the best answer you can all just shove it.

the interest could have not put in perfect to offer a confusing force errors, in spite of the shown fact that it may desire to be that the simulated residing house windows gadgets won't be adequate for the interest. IE: the sound could seem to be a effortless "Sound Blaster" card to residing house windows and the video could seem to have too little VRAM. (XP tells me that I actual have sixteen gig of VRAM, in spite of the shown fact that my video is actual 32 gig of VRAM.) additionally examine your residing house windows administration panels and notice what velocity your CPU is being regarded as. the interest could think of that is too sluggish by using fact residing house windows says so, in spite of the shown fact that it is actual working swifter than residing house windows acknowledges. (XP on my pc claims my CPU is 800 mhz, in spite of the shown fact that that is a million,6 ghz. It performs some a million.5 ghz minimum requirement video games devoid of concern, yet refuses to play some 600mhz video games.) Your scientific docs for VMware or their internet site could desire to allow you recognize the place the laptop "Disk" is saved. My VPC positioned it in my information folder as default, yet gave me the choice to place it the place ever i wanted. (It does not look interior the information folder as a confusing force, yet somewhat as a closed record.) you additionally must supply you the possibility to make extra digital confusing drives and shared folders. Does VMware supply you an uninstall decision? VPC gets rid of all residing house windows stuff once you uninstall the VPC app.
