Guest Posted June 12, 2007 Posted June 12, 2007 http://www.winmatrix.com/forums/index.p ... opic=12213 Its called emulating windows xp. This guide is doing it using virtual pc 2007 Aslong as you have a xp setup disk your good to go. This is much better than dual booting. I recently got 4gb ram so i could evenly use 2gb for each (vista and xp) It works fantastically. Its a bit of a lousy fix.. but hey it works
Black Dragon Posted June 12, 2007 Posted June 12, 2007 What's wrong with dual booting? I see it much more plausible for the common user. I, for example, only have 1 gig of RAM on this machine.
kevuwk Posted June 13, 2007 Posted June 13, 2007 the fix has always been there as black dragon said, just dual boot
arc_ Posted June 13, 2007 Posted June 13, 2007 VirtualPC wouldn't work out anyway. - VirtualPC doesn't do 3D acceleration, so you can't run *any* 3D games on it! (unless it's an ancient game that uses software rendering) - You could make the GTA within the VirtualPC use a software renderer like SwiftShader. It would probably run then, but at such a horrible framerate it'd be unplayable. So, your only option is to dual boot I'm afraid.
Ravenheart Posted June 13, 2007 Posted June 13, 2007 I'm dual booting at the moment, i hate it but its the only fix atm.
Clerlic Posted June 13, 2007 Posted June 13, 2007 I don't use Vista, it's the best fix there is . Personally, i don't understand why a newer OS doesn't support anything the previous one did, and yet it takes several times more space, more RAM and doesn't have drivers for some popular hardware.
