Mac Forum / Applications / Virtual PC / September 2004

I have eMac 1 ghz and Virtual PC 6.1 (whatever latest upgrade is).
I got this because I am learning forex trading. It works fine with the
trading station software from the broker, no complaints there
(refco.com), but the company I am learning with has a webcast system

I am trying to decide which guest OS to run inside of my Virtual PC
6.1.1 on my Mac (Powerbook 1.5ghz).  It would be used for demos of an
enterprise network solution only to run the server for the solution (app
and MySQL). I don't need to run a GUI in that Guest OS since the Mac ...

I have had the useless vpc6 since last year when I bought my g5 from
the Apple website. I didn't realize at the time that it wouldn't work
with my computer. Is there anyway that they would send or reduce the
price of the new vpc7 for me. I hate spending that amount of money for

I purchased VPC 6 in July, is Microsoft offering an upgrade for this
which does not cost the $99 for someone who purchased version 6 this
close to the upgrade?

I am switching from a PC to a Mac!
I was about to order the Professional Version of Office 2004 because
it included Virtual PC and I would like to run some of my PC
applications (such as Visio, QuickBooks, etc) right on my Mac.

Hello.  I can tell by the technical language on this board that I'm in
way over my head!  I'm looking for some general advice about whether
virtualpc is likely to address a recurrent problem I have on the
Internet with my iMac.  I teach an on-line course for a program that

With VPC 5.0.4 (Windows 2000 Pro), Date & Time has suddenly stopped
working while the PC is in a saved state.
When I start it up from a saved state, the clock starts running from the
time when last saved (the date has also not changed since the last save).

I am running Win 2000 with VPC 6.1.1 on OS 10.3.4. I can't get Norton
Internet Security 2004 to install (it won't install with 5.0.4 either.)
Symantec has now informed me that they do not support virtual machines.
Any recommendations for virus and Internet security protection?

I cannot seem to find a way to change the size only make it variable
or fixed.  Variable list it as 1.99gb but it actually is much smaller.
Is there a way to enlarge or can I copy to another virtual disk that
is larger?

Setup:
VPC 6.1 + Win XP Pro SP1 on Jaguar.
Started up Win XP today and have the following error:
NTLDR: Fatal Error 32678 reading BOOT.INI

I just installed V.PC 6.1 standalone edition and installed Windows Xp
Professional from my microsoft CD.
But after everything, under V. PC settings it says that Shared folder
and Dock option is not installed. And i can not share folder and can

It's always nice to be able to pass along good news...
As reported on MacNN

Microsoft releases Virtual PC 7 to manufacturing

Could anyone tell me how to set up LAN correctly so that VPC will connect to
my Mac's internet connection?
Thanks

It seems that you cannot mount an image of the Windows XP drive in VPC
6.1.1 when it has been formated in NTFS.
I was able to do so when I had it as FAT32, but XP runs so much better
in NTFS format.

Well, I've kind of allready asked my question.
My VPC 6 is incredible slow, even when running it with no other applications
running.
I have run the defragment-application, but it doesn't help.
