I posted this question on the General Board and was told to ask here:

my OSX machine.  I am unable to register it.  When I have a question
or error report I am required to enter a key code which is not

I just installed VPC 6 and upgraded to 6.1.1.  When I go into the settings
for the virtual machine I created, and click on "Dock" at the bottom of the
list of settings, I am told that it is "Not available because additions are

First of all I have to say that I've never used MAC before. But
Powerbook G4 17inchs is kind of interesting. One of the purposes to
buy a notebook or powerbook is to use SAS system. I have SAS system

I have VPC 6.1 hosting XP Pro on a G4 PB Panther. I added  a second
user on the Mac side. When I went to run VPC/XP logged in as the new
user, VPC prompted me to install the OS again. Do I really have to set
up a whole new XP? Is there any way for the new OS X user to access
