I install Parallel desktop 5160 & install winxp pro on my mac and when i try running Virtual PC 7, i encounter an error,

Virtual PC is incompatible with the physical processor in this computer

Virtual PC requires at least a Pentium II (or equivalent) processor..

so now i stuck...any help?

Virtual PC is an emulator that runs on PowerPC machines. You're Mac has an Intel processor. If you want to run Windows, you need Parallels.
 
I see. You're trying to run the Windows version of Virtual PC inside Parallels. Why would you want to do that?
 
i have some server2003 VHD need to run on window..but parallel desktop seem to display wrong infos on the processor n give me difficulties in running it...
 
Hello,

actually, current virtualization technology won't let you do that easily. I suppose it would be more convenient to use Parallels Transporter to convert your VHD into a VM HDD.

Best regards,
Alicia.
