Guest Posted June 12, 2007 Share 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 Link to comment
Black Dragon Posted June 12, 2007 Share 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. Link to comment
RA Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Why not just run XP all of the time? Link to comment
erorr404 Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Cool, a temporary fix for people using Vista. Link to comment
kevuwk Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 the fix has always been there as black dragon said, just dual boot Link to comment
arc_ Posted June 13, 2007 Share 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. Link to comment
Ravenheart Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 I'm dual booting at the moment, i hate it but its the only fix atm. Link to comment
Clerlic Posted June 13, 2007 Share 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.
