I just bought a new mac book pro and the $300 virtual pc with windows
because the crooked bastards at compUSA told me it was easy to install
and that i could run windows and any windows program...easily. well i
installed it and when i try to run it everytime i get the message
"this program has closed unexspectedly" and for virtual pc alone I
have 3 disks, it came with no instructions and i'm completely lost and
pissed off that i just spent over $4000 on a computer that i was told
could run any windows program faster that windows could and i can't
run dick that has dick to do with windows.

Can anyone help me on my installation???? PLEASE!!

Contact CompUSA and tell them they're full of crap.  VPC for Macintosh
doesn't run on your MacBook Pro, which is Intel-based.  You can't
legally use the XP that's included (if you bought it with an OS). They
should have sold you Parallels or VMware (still in beta).  MacOS X comes
with BootCamp which allows you to boot XP SP2.  You really need a full
retail copy of XP SP2, which may not cost $300 if you want to run XP.

If they won't take it back, return the computer and buy it elsewhere.  
Demand a full refund from the store manager then call the credit card
company and flag the charge as "disputed".  If they won't refund 100%,
refuse the charge as "bad merchandise".
