Many thanks, Ben!

Hope upgrading Windows 2000 to XP solves all or most of the issues. I shall try.

IL -

Windows 2000 is not supported on Windows Virtual PC - which is why all the features you mention are not available. There are no updated Windows 2000 components that will enable this functionality.

Cheers,

Ben

I think the main problem of MED-V is that is difficult to configure for the first use. And is a non-Microsoft stile what makes it less intuitive than other Microsoft products. But it is a very useful tool.

Hi. It is interesting what version of Integration features included with MED-V 1.0 SP1 and could it be obtained for regular Windows 7 users?

Right now, I use Windows 7 x86, Windows Virtual PC on top of it, and virtualized Windows 2000 SP4 with VMAdditions from Virual PC 2007 SP1 v13.823 installed.

I've got some problems:

1) clipboard doesn't shared between host and guest (of course Integrations features are on)

2) device manager on guest shows question marked device located on "Bridge Intel 82371AB/EB PCI - ISA"

3) network speed is near 6Mb/sec in shared NAT mode, in bridged mode it is very awfull and almost unusable - only 8Kbytes/sec with the host!

Could problems all or some of problems mentioned be solved with new VMAdditions?

Host computer is rather old (Celeron D340@3,3Ghz) and without hardware-assisted virtualization, by the way.
