Windows Virtual PC FLickers

Hi,

I recently installed windows virtual pc on windows 7 x64. If I run a virtual
machine the screen flickers most of the time.

How can this be resolved.

What flickers? The virtual PC window or the entire display on your monitor?

Are you running the beta of Windows Virtual PC or the RC? Also which
version of Win7 (Beta, RC, or RTM)

I had the flickering problem with the beta, but it went away with the
RC.

What video card do you have in the physical computer? Have you checked
to make sure you have the latest video drivers installed in the host?

Hi,

I don't know if this is related, but awhila ago, I was installing some
Linux version/distro (don't remember which one), and the guest window
would constantly be going black. The solution I ended up with was to go
into Task Manager and set the "Affinity" to a single processor.

goto to VPC image; right click on desktop->properties; click settings tab and
then click advance button at the bottom of the current window

then click the troubleshoot tab and set the h/w acceleration to full
