I installed the windows virtual pc and windows xp mode. It worked fine, but after I restarted the laptop, the windows xp mode didn't open.

It's a Turion 64x2, Windows 7 Professional and it's configured into a domain. The user is member of administrators.

The curious is that this is the second time this happen. In the first one, I reinstall the virtual pc and win xp mode, but now, stopped to open.

If I try to open in the windows virtual pc menu, only open if I choose run as administrator. And then, click in windows xp mode, really doesn't open (no windows, no error message).

What can I do?

thanks,
Renato.
 
Check in this location C:\Users\usernamexxxx\Virtual Machines.

For the entry "Windows XP Mode.vmcx" and under the "Primary disk" heading, does the user have correct access permissions for the location of the Primary disk?

For expert help with Virtual Machines you could try this Forum.

Windows 7 Virtualization
 
Yes, the user have correct access permissions for the location.

I will try the forum you suggested.

Yes, try your luck in the Virtualization Forum.

If it is a problem with the Host operating system then it may be caused by other software that you are running which is conflicting with XP Mode.

How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
 
Solved!

Discovered by performing a clean boot. The file Fixcamera.exe starts with windows and has some incompatibility with xp mode. Once I doesn't start it, the xp mode works!

tks,
Renato.
