Vista with XP

i need a solution to this... please

helpful...

Hi Ilamparithi,

I'm not sure I understand what you need to do. Are you saying that you want
to start up Windows Vista but then run Windows XP at the same time (in full
screen mode)?

If this is the case then you are going to have to use something like Virtual
PC where the Windows XP operating system is running virtually on top of
Windows Vista - you can then put this in full screen mode.

Can you eloborate a little more.

Thanks,
Jon

I am not certain as to what you are trying to do. Please describe thoroughly
and completely. You want to run XP on Vista without any Virtual PC???

What do you mean with full screen mode in Vista???

You can't run 2 operating systems on your computer at the same time, just
the way it is. Depending on what you want to accomplish you may be able to
use a virtual machine to run your XP OS within Vista, but it has
limitations.

Are you by chance saying that when you start XP you see a full screen image
to the edges of the monitor but when you start Vista you only get an image
that is shrunk on the screen with black edges? If this is the case, you
don't have the same resolution and/or refresh rate set in the video drivers
between XP and/or Vista. Once those are set the same you should have not
issues.

 

sorry.. i am not saying about that.. i want to use command prompt in
full screen..
so when i am in vista, i dont get command prompt in full screen.. so i
would like to use XP at the same time.. one solution is i can do it
using virtual pc.. but i dont want it that way.. i want to boot XP which
is installed in hard druve already not through virtual PC.. can i do it?

Sounds like you want to boot 2 OSes at the same time and without
something like Virtual PC, that's impossible.
