Having difficulties with VPC after upgrading to Mac OS10.4.10. Imac
G5 PPC 768 Ram . Was running well w/ 10.4.8 all broke loose after
install. Is there a more recent version of VPC that works? Have
7.0.3. Any ideas or are we lost until a "patch" comes along?

VPC Customer Service said " VPC isn't compatible with Mac OS 10.4".
So what's it for?

I think that's the latest version, and I've had no problems with it in
10.4.10. What do you mean by "all broke loose"?

VPC Customer Service is wrong. The update from 7.0 to 7.0.2 was
specifically to address Tiger compatibility.

That's strange, it runs fine on my G4/1.25 with Tiger X.4.10
The below is the system requirements from my VPC 7.02 read me.

> 1 System requirements
> To install and run Virtual PC for Mac Version 7
[quoted text clipped - 5 lines]
> € 512 MB of RAM and 3 GB of free hard-disk
> € A 700 MHz processor, minimum

It mentions Tiger, but the Getting Started book that came with it is out
of date as it only says Jaguar or Panther.
