Minimized window screen refresh?

Posted: 12-07-2004, 03:31 AM
In Version 7 of Virtual PC, did Microsoft disable the screen updating when
it is Minimized? In older versions when I minimized the running windows it
would update and refresh itself in the dock.
Has anyone else seen this?

Nope, and I guess you never will.

If you minimize a Virtual PC window, the virtual machine associated with
that window
enters pause mode. This stops the emulator dead for that virtual machine,
so you
will not get any updates inside the minimized view of the window in the
Macintosh's
Dock.

Thank you for your response,

I am aware of the pausing while minimized, but this is not the case. I know
that something has changed in this version (or my install) because I can see
that the Virtual PC List window is updating.

P.s.
One can turn off the pause mode in "PC Behavior"
