The most promising - well, pretty much the only - hint I could find on the web had to do with power management. What is going on here? I have never had such performance problems with Virtual Box.

This seems to work, however it is so incredibly slow that while waiting for the project to build, I was able to boot up an ancient laptop running XP, install VC++ 6.0, copy the project to the laptop, open it ins Visual Studio AND build the project, all before the first of about 40 files had been compiled in the XP VM. This time, VS2005 worked fine bute refused to compile the code. So I remembered that with Windows 7 (at least with Windows 7 Pro, which is running on my laptop) you can download a pre-configured image of Windows XP along with Virtual PC, called XP mode, that gives you pretty seamless integration between the Windows 7 host and the XP VM, including the ability to run individual applications as standalone windows on your native desktop.

Even after installing the update to the service pack that supposedly allowed VS2005 to run on post-XP versions of Windows, it reliably crashed as soon as I tried to do, like, anything.
My first attempt was to install Visual Studio 2005 on my laptop which runs Windows 7 (32-bit). The company I work at has recently been approached by a customer to modify a certain legacy application used to acquire and somehow process data from a food plant production process.Ī first careful look at the code shows that it apparently was written in the mid- to late 1990s in C++ using Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0
