I made the Windows XP desktop larger by changing the screen resolution.

I'm not exactly sure if this works for VISTA or anything like that but I think it might. I don't like the way Windows XP captures the mouse (I need to work side by side in Windows XP and Windows 10 every day). 756 Share 465K views 11 years ago Here is the ONLY way that worked for me on how to fix WINDOWS XP Sound. Is there any way to stop this?īefore finding this page I originally tried a fresh download of XP Mode to Oracle Virtualbox (before realising it might stop working after 30 days, which is no use to me).

Oracle Virtualbox didn't seem to capture the mouse, it worked better side-by-side with Windows 10 (more like Windows XP Mode + Windows 7 did). I was able to use the same VHD (created as per instructions in post 1 of this thread) into Oracle Virtualbox.Īlthough this is described as more basic, it seems to handle working in Windows XP and Windows 10 side-by-side in a much intuitive way. What I mean by 'side by side working more intuitive in VirtualBox' is this: Once booted in VirtualBox, it did require a repeat of the telephone activation done last night in HyperV (it complained 'you system has changed substantially since you activated it'), but I was able to do this by telephone as before. Hyper V captures the mouse and requires constant clicking on to release it. There is an option to change these keystrokes, but only to other collections of three keys.

Oracle VirtualBox requires only to release the mouse (or sometimes it doesn't seem to require anything, I can switch between Windows XP and the host operating system just by moving the mouse, the same as I could with XP Mode in Windows 7).
