I loaded virtual PC 7 on my powerbook G4.  I then tried to update to
7.0.2. Since then my computer screen darkens slightly and then I am
told my computer must be restarted whenever I try to either intstall or
uninstall Virtual PC or its update.  My mac has never frozen before,
but now it does every time.  What can I do?

Your system has "crashed" or "panic'ed".  Follow the instructions to
reboot it.  If it happens again, let us know.   What version of MacOS X
are you running?  How much memory?

I am using 10.4.7.  It has crashed at least half a dozen times since I
put in Virtual PC.  I finally was able to uninstall, but when I want to
reinstall I get an error meassage -03 that blocks installation and
shuts down the computer.  My mac had not crashed in a year and today
constant problems aqfter downloading update on Virtual PC from mactopia
site.
