Windows Virtual PC problems:
- There is no "Shared Folders" option to allow us to access folders on the Host machine within the Client machine using drive letters (E:\ etc.). We have several programs that I need to test and I need to access files on the E:\ drive, etc. Note that the Host folders that you see "D on " is not what I need. I need access via a drive letter. I've tried mapping a network drive and access that way is incredibly slow.
- Microphone recording not enabled (in the Client running Win XP, or 7, and probably Vista) *if Integration Features are enable*d. You can test this with Sound Recorder. It simply does not show the Record button if integration features are enabled. If I disable them then it appears
- Drag and Drop (from Host to Client) does not work. And (IIRC) Copy and Paste works only to the Desktop of the client.
- Integration Features do not work unless you log in (to the Client) using the same User Name and Password as an account on the Host machine.
- Virtual PC does not remember the User Name and Password when logging into Win 7 (client) even when you have Logon Credentials saved. (In the Settings window).
Any ideas?
I've checked for newer versions of Virtual PC but all I can find are the old version (pre Win 7) and the Win 7 "XP Mode".
I have Win 7 set to autoupdates so I assume if there were a newer version it would have gotten it.
