Q:

App not working from start menu in windows 7 XP mode

We have an application developed with Oracle forms that is not compatible with Windows 7, so we are trying to make it run in XP mode. The app needs to be run from a domain account. So i have created the virtual machine and joined it in the domain. Now, i start the virtual machine, log in wit my domain accont and the app works fine. The problem appears when i try to start it directly from the windows 7 start menu link.The virtual machine ask me for credentials, i log in but the app throws an error like if i was not using a domain account. Any ideas about this?

A:

Ok, i have found the solution. To publish the app in windows 7 start menu, i had to copy its shortcut to All users\Programs and that was the problem. Now, i have created a batch calling the shortcut in my user desktop and copy it in All users\Programs. That makes the trick.
