it took 5:04 minutes!!!!   Any suggestions?

I'm trying to figure out how I can increase the memory allocated to
Windows through VPC 6.1. I'm trying to install an application
(MapSource Topo Canada v 2.0) on Windows 2000 Pro that requires > 500
Mb.

A quick question to those technical folks. . . I plan on moving out to
the country, outside a major urban centre, and broadband services are
not available via cable, DSL, or wireless. So Satellite high speed is
the only option.

The speed is a joke...no sorry,  a joke is funny. This is actually very

and check sites that I am building in windows.
I have problems doing the most simple things like loading pages from a

After installing the Virtual PC 6 upgrade (from VPC 5) and then
running the latest VPC update ... can I delete my Virtual PC 5 folder
without harming anything created in VPC 6?

I recently installed Virtual PC 6.1.1 for mac. I can only get it to run
in DOS mode so I figured i needed to install the operating system.
I found my old windows XP disc and tried to install it

I have a user with Virtual PC 6.1 on Mac OS X 10.3 that is getting a

I Have VPC 6.1.1 w/ WinXp. When I re-size the desktop the window

I need to uninstall VirtualPC 6.1.1/XP from my Powerbook but I am not
sure how to go about it.  Outside of dragging the icon to the trash
bin, is there anything else that needs to be done?  Thanks for you
help.

I have installed a trial software program into Windows XP Pro on a Mac
using the Virtual PC program.  I decided that I want to keep the
program so I was given an unlock code to unlock the software and allow
me to use it.  For some reason I can't get the program to unlock.  The

VPC allows you to create shortcuts on the OS X side that will start up
VPC and launch a PC application.  Is there a way to do the reverse --
click on a shortcut in Windows (XP Pro, in my case) and have an OS X
application run?

Hope this does not sound stupid, but I am thinking of upgrading from 4
to Version 6 on my 400mhz G4 Titanium.  I read that the system
requirements are 500 G3 or G4.  The question is this: does this mean at

I have been trying to get hold of a trial or evaluation copy for ages but

VPC.
Anyone got a trila copy I could take a copy of or has anyone ran Sage
