Mac Forum / Applications / Virtual PC / May 2006trouble installing Virtual PC for Mac
I am a new Mac user and recently bought a new macbook with the Intel Core Duo, I tried to install Virtual PC onto my computer and after the initial restart an alert appeared saying that the program unexpectedly closed and I could not successfully reopen it. Any suggestions? >I am a new Mac user and recently bought a new macbook with the Intel >Core Duo, I tried to install Virtual PC onto my computer and after the >initial restart an alert appeared saying that the program unexpectedly >closed and I could not successfully reopen it. Any suggestions? Virtual PC is not compatible with Intel Mac's. There is nothing you can do to get VPC 7 to run on an Intel Mac. You should return Virtual PC. http://www.microsoft.com/mac/default.aspx?pid=macIntelQA  SignatureCheers, Steve Jain, Virtual Machine MVP http://vpc.essjae.com/ I do not work for Microsoft. > I am a new Mac user and recently bought a new macbook with the Intel > Core Duo, I tried to install Virtual PC onto my computer and after the > initial restart an alert appeared saying that the program unexpectedly > closed and I could not successfully reopen it. Any suggestions? Return your computer for a full refund and buy a G4/G5 system instead. VPC won't run on your system. Microsoft hasn't announced any date when it will. Or just return VPC to Microsoft for a full refund and keep the MacBook. Buy a copy of Windows XP (the XP in VPC won't install on a MacBook). Install BootCamp or Parallels and run them instead. SignatureDeeDee, don't press that button! DeeDee! NO! Dee... To add to Steve's comment, while Rosetta (the emulation layer that allows PPC based software to run on Intel) is effective with a lot of programs, Microsoft has stated that VPC does not run under Rosetta. Microsoft most likely will release an edition of VPC for the intel based OSX, but that appears to be a ways in the future still. >I am a new Mac user and recently bought a new macbook with the Intel > Core Duo, I tried to install Virtual PC onto my computer and after the > initial restart an alert appeared saying that the program unexpectedly > closed and I could not successfully reopen it.
