Does anyone know the secret to how to run VPC2007 on Vista Home Premium? I
loaded it and it was working for a short time but now it does not run. It
seems to launch but won't "window". It does show on the task bar as running
but won't maximize!!!

The Home Editions are not supported.
( If it runs is good, but if it doesn't then don't complain - that is my
definition of "unsupported" )

Have a look in the system requirements page at MSFT : these OS are supported
as Host :

Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition (32-bit x86); Windows Server 2003,
Standard x64 Edition; Windows Vista Business; Windows Vista Business 64-bit
edition; Windows Vista Enterprise; Windows Vista Enterprise 64-bit edition;
Windows Vista Ultimate; Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit edition; Windows XP
Professional Edition ; Windows XP Professional x64 Edition ; Windows XP
Tablet PC Edition

Usually double-clicking the icon in the System Tray will return the console
to its normal display. If not, try right-clicking the icon in the System
Tray, the pop-up menu will let you access all the normal functions of
Virtual PC.

If neither of these helps, visit one of the Virtual PC forums for more
help - there's no reason it won't run on any version of Vista. It's
unsupported but it WILL work.

The Virtual PC experts all hang out there and should be able to help.
