I need to do a clean install on a reformatted Powerbook G4. I am a
registered user of Virtual PC version 3.0, and have since purchased
upgrades 5.0 and 6.0, for which I have the CDs. In looking at the box
for version 3.0, I am not even sure I can load this original version

Is it common for virtual pc to quit on its own frequently? I'm not
running it on the best of my macs, it's an  iBook that's a couple of

I'm not looking it shuts down quite often, usually about 2 or 3 times

I'm a new MAC user with a G4.  I have both OS 9.2.1 and OS 10.1.3
installed, and Virtual PC 5.0 running on OS 9.2.1.  Virtual PC keeps

Will VPC 7 running in MacOS 10.3.5 on a PowerBook 12" 1.33Ghz Mac

When VPC is in full-screen mode, I can't switch to a different mac program
by using the standard mac Command-Tab method.  When I choose the other
program (e.g., Safari or Finder), I see it for a split second, and then VPC
comes back to the front as it was before.

Is anyone running minitab any versions on virtual PC?  I have VPC 6.1.

processor MMX support. In the VPC 6.1.1 Preferences, choose to show
