I'm using VirtualPC 7.0.2 and Windows XP on a G5 iMac with OS X
10.4.8.
Recently I have been unable to open some of the Windows Applications
(sorry, "programs") and get an onscreen message reading:

>Application Error

>The instruction at "0x7c901010" referenced memory at"0x000000b0". The memory could not be "read".
>Click on OK to terminate the program

I've tried a disk check but without success;

Any ideas?

Regards
Thomas Mann

Could possibly be two things:
1. Your RAM may be getting bad.....VPC would be one of the first apps
to detect bad or weak RAM
2. Your Windows virtual machine may have reached it's maximum size
limit of 15GB. Go to the Virtual PC List folder in your Documents
folder. Control click on Windows and select 'Get Info'. How large is
it?
