It is SOLVED! Thanks for your help. And Trip too!

There wasn't an option for "Mac Bridge Miniport". I selected MLA (Microsoft Loop Adapter) though. It was the best possible option out of the list. So now it works. Is there a problem in selecting MLA instead of Mac Bridge Miniport (which wasn't in the list)?

Ok, Trip, the "classic view" hint helped. Now I've added the MLA, but the next set of instructions seems to be missing some explanation... The NIC connected to the WWW leaves me guessing to what that means. What I'm guessing is that I right click on the MLA in "Manage Connections" screen, click the sharing tab, then check "all other network users to connect through this computer's internet connection"? If so, then there's setting beyond this. I don't know what to select. And "add 1 NIC" is an option I don't see anywhere. Is "Select Loopback" like a box to check or do you mean to select it somehow else? And then TCP/IP auto-assigned? Have no idea where this option is. I'm pretty good in understanding click here and click there, but not so versed in the area of knowing where all these options are located. In Vista (or anywhere else). I just don't do this very often. I pick up on it as I click the buttons, not trying to figure it out for myself, because that usually ends up to be a frustrating couple of days I don't want to remember. Plus, I just tried guessing at what was meant, and I lost connection to the internet and had to toggle in-between a few screen a few times to try and figure out how to get my connection back. Still don't know what I did.

I appreciate the instructions, but "Settings" in what? I push the Start button on my desktop, then I push "Control Panel" then I don't see "Add New Hardware" anywhere. I looked in "Device Manager" but don't see that option either. We're talking on the Host computer right? I'm using Vista. Are you skipping steps?

Hmmm. This is way more complicated than how I did it before. Or it seems to be because I have no idea what you're telling me to do. I understand this. I have no idea what this is or where to get one. Does it cost money? Are these specific choices in the MLA? I don't know what a NIC is. Maybe if I know where to get the MLA or how and where to add one, the rest will be self-explanatory. Could you help me finish this please.

I set up a Virtual PC on my home computer. I have IE6-XPSP3 running successfully on it. Now I want to be able to connect through the internet with it. I have a personal home computer with no other computers connected to it. I have a Hi-Speed Broadband Connection Please give me specific instructions. If vague instructions could help me, then I probably wouldn't be coming here for help. I right-clicked on IE desktop icon in XP SP3 and fiddled around with different options for setting up a connection, but nothing seemed to work. I did this before like 3 mos ago, but the XP SP3 was wiped out recently and I had to reinstall it and I don't remember how I set up a connection then.

Ok. I remembered how to do this, so this step is complete.

Sorry, my terminology isn't exact. My fault on this. I had a duh moment when I didn't realize I didn't download the XP SP3 file. But now that I have, I forget where I put it on my C: Drive. And I still don't know what ISO is being referred to. The VMAdittions ISO? the Decompactor ISO? So I installed the XP SP3 file, but it's (4 files) are sitting in my Download folder. What do I do with them? I reran the Virtual PC, tried running my New Virtual Machine, then I got the Boot error, then I tried mounting the "ISO" but still Boot error. I'm guessing it has to do with the fact I haven't put the XP SP3 file in the correct location.

Dear Members, I downloaded Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 a few months ago and had the XP pack working just fine on it. Then I went to start up the Virtual Machine and I get a boot error message in the command prompt. I followed instructions per this link: http://www.petri.co.il/virtual_install_new..._virtual_pc.htm (And I'm guessing the ISO I'm supposed to capture is the VMAdditions ISO.) I still get the boot error. I've uninstalled Virtual PC and reinstalled a new copy. I've also deleted previous Virtual Machines, and try added in new ones, but they won't boot. Any help would be appreciated. Thank You.

Well, that answers that! Thanks Idontwantspam. I wish I could've found that explained somewhere before I sat frustrated for 2 days straight. I was wondering why Shared Folders wasworking, but Additions' Install wasn't auto-running. Woohoo! Anyways, I got everything else working too.

EULA = ? Through a bit of screwing around I manged to get it working. Never got Additions to load, but I downloaded Coffee Cup onto my Gues Computer and I got Shared files to work. Any ideas on Additions not loading will be helpful. Also, everywhere I read said that even though Home is not listed as a requirement, it runs fine. There's a message when Installing Virtual PC that pops up saying something about Unbalanced OS, but after pushing OK, it installs. So everything is working right, except can't get Additions to install. Any idea where to type the setup.exe command at?

1. I have Vista Home Premium 32-bit English 3pk OS on Host Computer 2. I have IE7 installed using Broadband cable connection on Host Computer 3. I have Coffee Cup HTML Editor saved in Program Files of Host Computer 4. I want to test my web pages in IE6 on Host Computer 5. I downloaded Virtual PC 2007 (32-bit) from Microsoft Web Site 6. I downloaded the IE6-XPSP3 file for IE6 on XP OS 7. I installed the Virtual PC and XP files according to suggested settings 8. So now I have a Guest Computer with XP installed on my Host Computer 9. I set myself up as an Administrator on Guest Computer with XP 10. I tried every way possible to grab Virtual Machine Additions (Grabbing ISO image by right clicking CD icon, clicking 'Action' then 'Additions', going through virtual CD drive and running 'setup.exe'), but the only thing that happens is that a box appears with all these commands, I push the OK button, it goes away, but the Install Wizard never appears. I would try to manually run setup.exe by using 'setup.exe -s -v"/qn"' but the manual says to "type that phrase in." But never says where to type it in at. Comparable to giving a person who's not a surgeon a knife and just telling them to perform surgery by "cutting." Sure, I'll just start typing the command and hope my keyboard knows where to put it. I tried CommandPrompt (which gave me an unrecognized command error) and Run box (which just disappeared after pushing enter, and then nothing ever happened). By the way, I did move the Additions ISO file to where the IE6 file is, just as the instructions said to do. ---Any help with (10) will be appreciated. Any technical jargon will be processed then returned with question marks. 11. I have broadband cable connection on Host Computer 12. How do I set up the Guest Computer's (which is on the Host Computer, so only one computer without a home server) IE6 to use Broadband Connection? I don't understand COM1 Ports and things like that. 13. My main objective is to be able to use Coffee Cup's drop-down menu where I can select a browser to view my web pages in, so I can test cross-compatability. 14. The drop-down menu allows me to store different browsers in it by saving their exe files to a choice (like Browser Option 1, Browser Option 2, etc.). 15. I don't understand how I find IE6, which is on the Guest Computer, with the Browser Find option which is a part of Coffee Cup that is a program on my Host Computer. Is this a problem because I can't get Virtual Machine Additions to install? Or do I have to load a separate copy of Coffee Cup onto my Guest Computer to be able to get it to work with IE6? Please don't tell me to read the manual... I have, and it's very loose. I've also Googled and read many web sites that never seem to fully explain my problems. I'm coming here as a near-to-last resort to find an answer.

Hi. I'm new and frustrated with VirtualPC 2007. Come find my post in Software section and help me reduce my stress.
