Unable to migrate a Virtual PC from one laptop to another

Asked By Maria Jacksonn 20 points N/A Posted on - 07/19/2012

Hi to all,

I have recently bought 2 laptops, which are the same. I installed windows 7 home premium 64 bit on one system and windows XP professional on the other.

I actually wanted to migrate a Virtual PC from one system to another. So, on the laptop with windows 7, I installed the VM player and migrated the virtual pc from another system to this laptop. I started the virtual pc and everything worked well.

My problem started when I copied the installed virtual pc from the first laptop to the laptop with windows XP and the virtual pc could not be started.

When I tried to start the virtual pc from this laptop, I got an error on my screen. The screenshot of the error is as follows:

VMPlayer internal Monitor Error

If you have any information, please help me out. I can't find as to where I am making a mistake.

Waiting for your helpful feedback.

Regards.

Unable to migrate a Virtual PC from one laptop to another

From what I can see your problem is the operating system. Windows 7 can work with files created on win XP while win XP cant work with files created on win 7.

I used to have the same problem with win XP and win 98. My advice would be to try creating virtual PC on win 7 laptop by running the program as in win XP.

Another thing that might be causing this problem is the system version(are both systems 64 bit or not). .

I hope this helps.
