Black screen problems using VPC 2007 SP1 on Win7

Source: microsoft.public.virtualpc
Sent: 04/08/2009
From: Jason Coon
Message:

I'm using MS Virtual PC 2007 SP1 on the public beta of Windows 7. When
running a virtual machine, the screen constantly goes black, then redraws
slowly, if at all. If I move the virtual machine window, the screen will
redraw, but still continue to go black.

I'm running a Dell Studio XPS 435MT, Intel Core i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz (8CPUs)
with 6GB RAM, running Windows 7 public beta 64-bit, ATI Radeon HD 3450, dual
19" monitors.

Sorry, please disregard. I just updated my display driver and the problem
seems to have been resolved. Thanks anyway!

I updated the display driver on my host machine. I have an ATI card, so I
just went to their site and downloaded the latest driver. They actually had
one specifically for Windows 7 64-bit.

My host tells me the display driver is the latest. I may post this issue to
a new post and see what feedback I get. Gotta run now though. Cheers.

Jason, What OS did you install in the VPC. Will Win98 guest run on the Win7
host? Do the Win98 apps slow down?
