XP Mode in Windows 7

Wednesday, October 7th, 2009

Windows XP Mode (XPM) is a feature of Windows 7 Release Candidate. XPM allows users to continue to run their older xp-compatible applications on Windows 7. This feature will make XP users to upgrade to Windows 7.  XPM was designed by Microsoft for small-business users but the beta will encourage many users which can be downloaded for free from Microsoft Virtual PC.

XPM gives a new, improved version of Microsoft Virtual PC to run a complete freely downloadable virtual copy of Windows XP that runs in a window with Windows XP desktop. Or using seemless mode, XPM allows you to install applications to the Virtual Windows XP as how you install on normal Windows XP machine. And you can run those applications from Windows 7 desktop just as if they were standard windows 7 applications. In the seemless mode you wont be seeing Windows XP desktop. Instead you just sees a window with XP based application. The Virtual Windows XP system runs invisibly in the background.

Files can be saved from applictions running seemless mode under XPM to the default documents folder under Windows7. In both XPM seemless mode and seperate XP desktop, you can use the Windows Clipboard to transfer text and images between Windows 7 and XP applications.

Unable to read .chm files on XP / 2003 / Vista

Wednesday, July 29th, 2009

Sometimes you may not be able to read the downloaded .chm (compiled Html Help) files as shown below.

Possible Cause:

Security update 896358 and Windows Server 2003 SP1 include changes to the InfoTech protocol that block the ability to view remote content. These changes were introduced to reduce security vulnerabilities in HTML Help. After you install 896358 or Windows Server 2003 SP1, files in the Temporary Internet Files folder are treated as content from the Internet zone. Therefore, files may be blocked when you click Open in the File Download dialog box. Additionally, after you install 896358 or Windows Server 2003 SP1, Attachment Manager may treat a downloaded .chm file as an untrusted file. Therefore, you may not be able to open the file. These effects are expected and intended effects of installing the security update and of installing Windows Server 2003 SP1. Visit Microsoft Support for full explanation.

Resolution:

After saving the file using download, use one of the following methods:

Method1

  1. Right-click the CHM file, and go to properties.
  2. You can see “Unblock” as shown below
  3. Click “Unblock” and click “OK” to close the properties window.
  4. Now open the file, it works and you can read it.

Method2

  1. Double click or Open the CHM file.
  2. Open File-Security dialog appears as shown below
  3. Remove Tick mark or Uncheck “Always ask before opening this file”
  4. Click Open and you can read chm file.
