Ok well the VM mouse is moving kind of slow and the rs screen is kind of laggy. I heard that activating 'Virtual Machine Additions' helps. So I click 'Action' at the top of the VM, then 'Install Virtual Machine Additions', then it says:

'You have chosen to install or update Virtual Machine Additions. Virtual PC will automatically insert a CD image into the virtual machine's CD-ROM drive, which should automatically run Virtual Machine Additions setup.

If Virtual Machine Additions setup does not run automatically, open the CD-ROM drive inside of the virtual machine and run the setup program.

Would you like to install or update the Virtual Machine Additions now?'

I click 'Continue'. But it doesn't seem like it does anything and just goes back to my VM... Did it actually install or not?

pretty sure it did i think addons do stuff like make it so that you can move mouse on vm screen and regular screen without having to push right and alt. or something like that.. not sure if it makes it faster though. if you go to settings before you start your vm and go to the mouse tab. if you can check use pointer integration taht means you have addons.

Go into my computer and click on the Virtual PC disc drive. It will run the Setup.exe. The reason it didn't auto run is that TinyXP has this disabled by default.

TYVM! That's what I was looking for lol. I didn't understand what it meant by the second part (where it mentions another way to install the additions). Will try in a bit...


EDIT: And VMware, I want to try that, but first I want a trial version. Does anybody know the link for it?

EDIT2: Ok downloaded additions, and activated Pointer Integration, now when I run scar I can't see a mouse, is this safe??

I use Innotek Virtual Box with TinyXP.
w/ 1GB ram and 1.8Ghz DualCore I can have 3 running at once.
So 4 Autoers at once.
:)

Innotek Virtual Box is freeware, so no serials or cracks needed.
GET IT!

OMG are you serious??!?! I'm definitely getting it! If you have the time could you post a link? I'm off to school, I'll google it though if you don't feel like it :p.

EDIT: Found and downloaded. :)

EDIT2: Ok, well I set 2 VMs up (Installed TinyXP on each), tried just putting one on. I didn't even open a program, I just let it load up and that was it. My host became very laggy (I had 192MB RAM on the VM). I had installed the additions too. Idk whats wrong :(

Virtual PC consume too much resources on your host but VMware will take much less consume and the smooth spec for tinyXP was 256Mb and and you must have a remain of 256mb on host for smooth run
