Question by Derrick E: installing Ubuntu 7 on Virtual PC 2007. mouse won’t work??
My host OS is windows vista so i downloaded virtual pc 2007 and installed xp pro on it. that works fine.
but i installed Ubuntu after i installed xp and my mouse doesnt work on it. also, the first time i booted it the graphics were screwy so i had to boot in “safe graphics mode” but it didnt look like the mouse did anything when the graphics were screwy. i am on a laptop if that makes any difference.
Ok i installed virtual box like you said and it works fine, the problem is now that i can run ubuntu off the disc but the screen isnt big enough to navigate the menus to install it! ive tried all resolution settings i cant scroll down… any more ideas?

Hi, I am not really sure about how Virtual PC’s Linux support is.

I would suggest u install virtual box from:

http://www.virtualbox.org

Just in case did u make the correct settings for the Linux system, Ubuntu uses Linux kernel 2.6.22 or 2.6 for short.

Good Luck!
