    Best VM engine to run WXP?


    I have a couple old version applications that only will run in Windows XP.

    I'd like to know what options I have for Ten. It supposed to run in only one machine (my own) and I don't need nothing fancy, basically:

    1) Install and run Windows XP Pro
    2) Share USB ports and clipboard between XP and Ten

    Free stuff welcome! *Wink

    Thanks!

    I just figured that Ten has its own virtualization method (Hyper-V) and do not need any third-party stuff... *Redface

    Running your Browser in a VM?

    • Install VMware Player or Virtualbox, VMware being faster in my experience
    • Create a VM with sufficent RAM HD and all CPU cores
    • Install Ubuntu/Linux Mint/Debian or some lightweight distro with Xcfe or LXDE
    • Install VMware/Virtualbox tools
    • Almost any distro comes with Firefox
    • Install Ublock Origin/Noscript/Ghostery
    • Disable cookies with a whitelist/use private browsing.
    In my experience, running a browser through a VM can slow down scrolling smoothness, video playback and increase ping delay

    Change keyboard driver for WXP guest on W7 host, how?

    I have a VM (from VMware, not XP mode) with WXP on W7. The installation passed well except that the VM has a different keyboard layout than the host which I would like to correct. I would very much appreciate to receive some instructions on how to proceed
    for correcting it.

    Regards,

    Marcel

    Here the details (I hope the screenshots will be inserted):

    Language installed on host are German(Swiss) and French(Swiss)

    Information on Host drivers:

    It looks like VMware added also their driver.

    Information on Guest drivers:

    ... and also:
