Win XP Pro with VPC 2007 running Vista Business

Message:

VPC running any XP config works fine. But when I start using
Vista, I get the following problems -
1. When I use Windows Exolorer, it often fails, especially
when accessing info on another disk.
2. When I'm in Vista, I can't move the mouse out of the Vista
space and get control of Win XP. I have to Rt-Alt-Enter to
maximize the window and then do it again to restore and be
able to move the mouse to Win XP. I've tried all I can think
of to get control as I do in XP virtual machines.

Any ideas? - TIA.

Did you install the virtual machine additions in your Vista guest?

You may have to restart the host after installing the vm additions in a
Vista guest before everything works right.

You were exactly right! I had to try and re-try to get the VM Additions
to work, but they finally did.

Thanks again.
