Did you burn it to a disc, or just mount the image on a virtual drive?

Also, are you using MS Virtual PC? I'd recommend using VirtualBox.
Do a MD5 check of the downloaded iso and compare it with the one mentioned on the site.
If the MD5 match then the download is fine.

@wolf Sorry as of now, Virtualization software can only virtualize a basic system, ie, with No 3D acceleration and all, as virtualizing 3D acceleration is not a small feat.
Since 3D acceleration is not enabled, you won't be able to use Desktop Effects.

I've not used virtual box, but I use Vmware and Parallels on OS X, both of which i just change the default resolution via the normal system properties route.
Virtual box may have "tools" to install to ubuntu that are basically drivers, parallels tools, vmware tools, etc. Both enable most of the cool features.
I'm not sure how far virtual box or the windows counterparts of virtualization have come (haven't used them yet), but I know parallels and Vmware both offer some baseline 3d support, and even some advanced direct x support on OS X.
Parallels should have a workstation available for windows, and I KNOW Vmware does.
they are not free, however.
As far as I know, however, Vista 3d effects, and any similar linux ones have not yet been reproduced in a virtualized environment.
