Hi,

tried already twice to install vpc 6.1 and xp pro (G4 PB) to get everything
working including the functions
like drag and drop between the mac and vpc,
using a shared folder,
using the dock
I don't get any error message during install  but the above functionality I
can't use,
tried several times to install the additions from the bottom of the vpc
window without succes

used a second account to install vpc (administrator rights included)
can I only install vpc on the original administrator account?

any help is welcome

Hi,
I have Powerbook G4 running WinXP Pro SP2 with the latest additions and
dock integration.  I have a couple of questions for you.

1) Are you running latest VPC, v6.1.1 (040113) in the About Box.

2) Are you using the Additions icon on PC dock at the bottom of the VPC
window?  What happens when XP is running and you choose "Install
Additions" from the icon's menu?  If you get additions successfully
installed the Additions icon menu has a "Get PC Info" item which should
tell you the version of the Additions are 011508.

After you get the PC additions installed are you setting up Dock
integration and Sharing options in Edit > "VPC" Settings?

No 6.1 030530
tried to upgrade but got a reply that I haven't access rights to do so
(Account has admin rights)

> 2) Are you using the Additions icon on PC dock at the bottom of the

yes
What happens when XP is running and you choose "Install
> Additions" from the icon's menu?

If the additions are not yet installed I got a message that everything
went well and I need to restart to get everything working

if the additions are already installed, I got a reply to replace the
existing addtions with a new one

If you get additions successfully installed the Additions icon menu has
a "Get PC Info" item which

no version is mentioned instead n/a is mentioned

> After you get the PC additions installed are you setting up Dock
> integration and Sharing options in Edit > "VPC" Settings?
so war I wasn't able to install the additions...
