___Tutorial___
1) Download Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 and TinyXP from the downloads section in this thread.
Once downloaded you should have both files:
2) Now I'm going to let you install Virtual PC the program, by yourself. Just do it as you would install SCAR. Start by running setup.exe, and finish with this screen:
After that's installed, we will make the workstation for TinyXP:
For ram, TinyXP Beast Edition only uses about 50mb ram, and then Runescape uses 64mb on Low Detail. So, if you have to set it to 100mb, then that's fine.
3) Once installed, open up the Virtual PC Console from Start > All Programs > Microsoft Virtual PC (or C:\Program Files\Microsoft Virtual PC) and select the Autoing workstation. Now click the Start button
If you wait long enough you might get this, but we're not here to wait that long.
4) As soon as the black screen with your Autoing workstation opens up, right click on the CD button at the bottom of the screen and click Capture ISO Image...
Browse and open TinyXP.iso, wherever you downloaded it.
To check if you did it right, when you right click the CD button, it should say Release "TinyXP.iso"
5) Now comes the fun part...Installing TinyXP as a Virtual OS!
At the top of the window go to Action > Reset and click Reset on the popup window
You should get to this screen if you wait a bit:
Go ahead and hit Enter on Partition1 (or hit enter on the partition with the largest size), and then chose the first option, Format NTFS (Quick):
After it formats, it begins to install TinyXP!
At this point all you do is wait a one or two hours...
Okay, now that we finally have TinyXP installed, it should take you to the desktop with a message in a window something about Virtual Machine additions. Hit Okay, then go to Actions > Install or Update...
Click Continue and then just wait a few minutes.
If it does not start installing, go to My Computer in the Virtual OS, and open the VMAdditions CD:
Once installed, reboot the workstation and then click Start > right click My Computer > scroll down and click on Properties.
Next click on Advanced at the top, then the button Settings for Performance, and check the box that says Adjust for best performance. At the bottom click Apply.
Duplicating a Workstation
1) Go to My Documents > My Virtual Machines
2) Find the folder "Autoing" or whatever you named your workstation to, and open it. Now when you're inside the folder, you will see "Autoing.vmc" and Autoing Hard Disk.vhd"
3) Select both of the files, and press CTRL + C (copy) and CTRL + V (paste).
4) You should get Autoing - Copy.vmc and Autoing Hard Disk - Copy.vhd or something like that.
5) Rename Autoing - Copy.vmc to Autoing2.vmc and rename Autoing Hard Disk - Copy.vhd to Autoing Hard Disk 2.vhd
6) Open Autoing2.vmc with Notepad (double click to open and chose Notepad from the list of selections to Open With...)
7) Find this section:
Rename Autoing Hard Disk.vhd to Autoing Hard Disk 2.vhd for both instances!Code:<pathname> <absolute type="string">C:\Users\Swift\Documents\My Virtual Machines\Autoing\Autoing Hard Disk.vhd</absolute> <relative type="string">.\Autoing Hard Disk.vhd</relative> </pathname>
Now run the Virtual Machine Console and you'll see Autoing2, run that and you'll be where you are at with Autoing.

Microsoft Virtual PC 2007
Info:
System requirements:Use Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 to run multiple operating systems at the same time on the same physical computer. Switch between virtual machines with the click of a button. Use virtual machines to run legacy applications, provide support, train users, and enhance quality assurance.
Virtual PC lets you create separate virtual machines on your Windows desktop, each of which virtualizes the hardware of a complete physical computer. Use virtual machines to run operating systems such as MS-DOS, Windows, and OS/2. You can run multiple operating systems at once on a single physical computer and switch between them as easily as switching applications—instantly, with a mouse click. Virtual PC is perfect for any scenario in which you need to support multiple operating systems, whether you use it for tech support, legacy application support, training, or just for consolidating physical computers.
