Virtual PC 2007 and Brothers in ARms Earned in Blood

[Guest]

because Vista does not support starforce protection I could not install
Ubisofts Brothers in ARms ... they will not even answer any questions I post
..... obviuosly they have become many of different vendors saying "We don't
support Vista" ....

So i installed MS Virtual PC 2007 on Vista w/ a full blown licensed XP pro
installation ..... the purpose of MS Virtual PC 2007 is to support "legacy"
software ...

Well Earned in Blood does install just won't run on Virtual pc .... it tells
how it needs the correct operating system to run on .....

Well MS your own stuff works great on your stuff but kind of defeats the
purpose of virtual PC when another vendors software will not run ...

Granted it does let me install it vs Vista which won't .....

I haven't had any issues with StarForce protected games on Windows Vista. I
just needed to go to StarForce's website and install the driver myself.

Using Virtual PC to host 3D games isn't going to work, it only emulates a
very basic graphics card with no hardware acceleration.

Are you sure StarForce is even related then? On my games StarForce gets
installed when you run the game for the first time.

What error messages do you get?
