Hey, just got VPC 7 installed on my G5 tower and it doesn't detect the
modem? What's the trick?
thanks.

Has anyone had luck installing and running VPC 7.0 on a single cpu G5
1.8 Ghz?
I'd like to avoid an OS X re-install, so I'd like to know if any other
1.8 Ghz single cpu G5 users ARE or ARE NOT having problems.

It is opinions I am interested in here......from those of you that
know......because, I don't.     :)
I have VPC 6.1 running Win98SE. On my dual 1.25 G4 with 1 GB of RAM, 128

I've just installed VPC on my 1GHz G4 PowerBook. I tried to install
Office 2003 from a network share but everytime I click on the intall
app (SETUPPRO.EXE) nothing happens. I get an hour glass for a few
seconds and then nothing.

I'd like to know if I can have an audio discussion via MSN Messenger
in Virtual PC. I've read that Webcams dont work, but just audio trough
the mac microphone.. is there a way to make it work?

I'm new to VPC. I got VPC7 on a PBG4. Works perfectly How can I
transfer a large file (700 Mb) from by "virtual PC" to the mac machine
if it is on the same computer? I would burn a CD but VPC does not burn
CDs.

It seems that CD capture does not work anymore on VPC 7. It is not
possible to capture Toast Image Cds. It was possible with VPC6. Any
suggestions or explanations? Thanks

I want to buy a MAc, but they (QuickbooksOnline Version) does not
support Mac. Only PC. Our company uses the online verison of the
software only. Can VPC solve this problem?

There are 2 commands that don't work for me. "Transfer Documents from

Is there any point in trying Virtual PC 7 on a G3?  VPC 6.1.1 is working
well -- would VPC 7 be any faster?

Well I waited for VPC 7 to come out so I can run it on my G5 and guess

Since I'm still waiting for my copy of VPC 7 to arrive, I was
wondering if it will support PXE or network booting with this version?
I have some Altiris images that we use at work that I would like to
put into a VPC session, and if I could do a network boot it would make

I'm new to VPC and had a question.  Should I be able to see the VPC (when
running) as a PC on my Microsoft network running IP?  I have the workgroup
set up, and I can access the Internet just fine.  But when I do a network
neighborhood on either the VPC or my standalone second ...
