Virtual PC could not open the Virtual Machine Network Services driver

Greetings,

I have been using VirtualPC 2004 SP1 on several machines for a couple of
years now without any problems. This past week I reloaded one of
my machines from scratch but after installing VPC earlier today it starts
up with the message "Virtual PC could not open the Virtual Machine
Network Services driver".

I have updated my network driver (which has been working without
any problems) and tried removing and reinstalling Virtual Machine
Network Services. I have also tried removing and reinstalling VPC.

My host machine is running Windows XP Pro SP2 and I am using the
MSDN Virtual PC 2004 SP1 kit.

Any ideas?

Bob

Right click My network places in the start menu, Properties, right click your network connection, properties, Untick "Virtual Machine Network Services", click Ok. Right click your network connection again, properties, tick the service you just disabled and click OK. Then reselect your adapter in the networking part of settings in VPC, and click OK.
This should fix your VPC Networking problem.

Good luck!

thanks! this worked for me except that "Virtual Machine Network Services" was no longer listed, so I had to install it.

"Install" -> "Service" -> "Virtual Machine Network Services"
