I just installed Windows XP on my virtual machine using MS Virtual Machine. I could not connect it to my home PC. I wanted to share setups of some games that run only on Windows XP. Please help!

Hello, you have to make sure to bridge your internet connection in the virtual machine.Bridging a connection:[Broken Link Removed]Also make sure that your installation in your virtual machine belongs to same group as your host computer.

You can use shared folders feature of MS Virtual Machine....But i strongly suggest on using virtualbox or vmware....

The bridge mode is for connecting to network/internet.I think you want to know how to access your setup files. You should copy then to the virtual XP.Btw- I would suggest you on using VMplayer for virtual machine.
