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.

The bridged network works best for gaming.

You have to go to the settings scroll down to the network expand it and click bridge mode.

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

Are you able to see USB devices from your VM?

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.
