Windows Virtual PC Network is slow.

Solution:

- On the host computer, backup the Registry, just in case, and then:

- Run Registry Editor (regedit.exe) and select the following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters

- Create new DWORD value named DisableTaskOffload and set its value to 1.

- Restart the computer.

Yes this is a ripoff article!!!

After upgrading to the new windows live messenger you find out that you can’t connect to it anymore, no matter what and how you try it simply gives you Error: 80048821. Seeking for help at microsoft using crypt error message only gives you a bunch of useless answers.

Solution:

Despite from the solutions posted on the source link, that didn’t worked for me, i saw a comment on the very same page that said to try the login all in CAPS. That was what fixed the issue.

Since i upgraded to windows 7 i miss some features from old windows, like running old IEs in order to have page development compliant. So i’ve found out about windows virutal pc which is basically a older windows emulator, since i have an old version of windows already installed i though, why not simple convert it to a vhd , so no need to reinstall?

Solution:

So, windows virtual pc don’t offer that option, you need to start from scratch. But then i found this sysinternals program:

Disk2vhd

which solved it all.
