VPC 6.1/XP Home ran fine for several months, then started crashing
regularly, with no change in my configuration or software.  I want to
re-install VPC but don't want to lose the data I have entered over the

Does anyone know somesort of trick to get to use more than 1 nic for a
virtual machine?

I hope to have a wireless network and two Macs running soon.  I will

version of Windows onto one of the Macs with VPC installed?  Or does it
have to be a retail version?

I have a USB device attached to my Bronze PowerBook via a hub. When I use
the VPC settings window (VPC 5.0.4), I see the device and can check the box
