I tried to create a virtual machine using instructions in XP magazine and the
Virtual Machine 2004 program. I failed to create one suitable to run a trial
version of Vista but now everything seems very slow despite what appears to
be sufficient of my 768K ram and more than half free disk space on C:. Did I
create some form of drive partition or commit memory to this? I have had
messages now that the paging file is too small. I cannot find the 'virtual
machine' I apparently created and the one folder I did find with that name
was empty. Please help! sorry if any of this does not make sense.

Your Virtual Machine with VISTA installed on it is slow - or your computer
is slow?

You did not mention your computer specs.
- CPU speed..?
- Memory size..?
- Hard drive space (total and free)..?

I have ran VISTA in a VirtualPC and VMWare... In order to get full
features - well - I had to give it quite a bit of resources. I gave it
1.5GB RAM and allowed the disk space to grow as needed. The system is a
dual-core 3.6GHz machine in my case... It ran - 'ok'.

Well - it can be configured in many ways - in other woirds - you kinda get
to choose.

However - if you want to find it - first look under My Documents for a
Virtual PC directory (or something similar) and if not there - look under
Program Files\Microsoft Virtual PC or Virtual Server (depending on what you
have installed) directory and an appropriate sub directory...

If that doesn't work - you can use one of these to local all the files above
a certain size (I would say 1GB) and that will help you track down the
culprit...
