Will VPC enable me to install Windows versions of software on my Mac.
I am new to Macs, and just found that all my software will not install
(as it is Windows version), and I'm hoping to get round having to fork
out lots of money for different versions.

VPC 6.1.1, Guest OS is Windows 2000 Professional.
After selecting the installation options of "SDK, Samples and Documentation"
and clicking next the install hangs for awhile, then reports that you need
to install the "SDK" in order to install the other options. But "SDK" is

VPC 6.1 sees the video adapter as S3 32/64 from both XP
and Linux.
Any suggestion?
Thanks

I have Virtual PC 6.1 and am trying to decide between installing Windows ME
or Windows XP.  
My system is a 700 MHz G3, with 384 MB RAM and 120 GB hard drive (on my
FireWire drive).

I'm attempting to get my Garmin GPS receiver (which has a USB port) to talk
with the Garmin MapSource software, running under VPC and Windows 2000.
I'm using a TiBook 667 running OS X 10.2.8, and VPC 5.0.4.
The Garmin MapSource software is version 5.4.

I run VPC 6.1 on an iMac 800 with MacOSX 10.2.8. I can connect VPC at
internet with my ADSL modem but I have problem when it's necessary to
dowload files from Microsoft Windows Update or other sites, it seems
that Internet Explorer don't find the server. But with a 56 K modem

Have you run either of these programs on Virtual PC?  If so, what were your
experiences?  Do you have any recommendation on system configuration?

I would like to have my Virtual PC hard drive images on an external FireWire
drive, since it is 120 GB and my iBook internal drive is just 20 GB.   I
think I know how to do this -- just save the disk images in VPC to a folder
on the FireWire drive -- but is there anything I'm ...

Will VPC 7 be available as a separate product/upgrade?  I'll need it for my
new G5, but have no need for the new Office.  Thus far I'm only seeing VPC 7
listed as an afterthought in the pre-release marketing/previews.
Thanks.

I have been trying for hours and am unable to get Red Hat 9 to install on
VPC 6.1.1.   The first time I got to about 90% files copied and then had a
kernel panic.   The second time I got to the final package (Mutt) and then
VPC stopped responding.   Any ideas?

Anyone set up this on the mac. Any suggestions on how to sync
a ppc 2003 device.

People,
This question has likely been asked before but I didn't see it in the
simple searches I performed. I have VPC 5.0.4 with WIndows XP home. When
I bought VPC from Connectix, the single CD included Windows XP. I have

I'm using VPC 6.1 in Windows XP on MAC OS10.2.8.  I can't get my Epson
CX5200 to print.  It seems to be a problem with the driver but what?
It's the most recent version downloaded from Epson.  (Do any Epson
printers work with VPC?)  Is it a problem with Windows XP?  Anyone

I have Virtual PC for Mac 6.01 with Windows XP Home--I use it
exclusively in web design work to view sites in IE 6. I would like to
install IE 5 as well for the same purpose. Is it possible to run two
browsers in Virtual PC without installing a separate operating system
