Need Help W/Virtual PC 2007......

[Guest]

RC1, Eval 5600

I have two problems I need help with:

1) When creating the VPC It will not allow me to set the memory,
2)and after completed Wizard, I started my VPC, and I want to install Vista
as a guest, but I get this message saying, "No physical memory is avaible at
the location required for the Windows Boot Manager. The system can not
continue".

The Vista DVD is there so how to I solve this? Thanks for your help!...

How much system memory do you have on the host computer? I got the same
thing when I had only 512mb of memory. You need more memory if you are going
to run a guest operating system.

Virtual PC defaults to 512MB for a Vista guest OS. I have 1GB RAM in my
machine, and giving 512MB to a guest Vista, leaves 512MB with the host
OS (XP) - however, if I have Outlook open or some other reasonably
sizeable app, VPC won't start the guest OS as it says I don't have
enough RAM.

So, I'd not try using Vista and VPC without a minimum of 1GB on the host
PC really - more is better.
