Does anyone know if there is a way to change to a more robust virtual video card in VirtualPC 2007? I would like to experiance the full functionality of Aero in Vista. I'm running Ultimate64 w/ Ultimate32 on the virtual PC. At a minimum I would like to have some control some of the settings the "card" would use and such. Or am I just dreaming? I've googled, and visited many forums but none of the posts seem to address this head on. Thanks to any and all who might respond. RBI :confused: -- rbi |

Your idea about being able to change to a "more robust virtual video card" was... umm.... err... interesting. |

I haven't done it but ask about it in microsoft.public.virtualpc where the VPC gurus hang out. |
