My need: to set up an international network of people working with
smart technology on environmental and humanitarian projects.
My intent: getting the fundamental wedding of technology and software
as right as possible from the outset.

I just received Virtual PC 7 with Windows XP Pro and have been unable
to install it.  I am using a Mac G4 with OS 10.3.5 .  It meets all the
requirements listed for this program.  When attempting the initial
installation, it will get up to around 94% complete, and then stop,

I just installed VPC7 on my dual G5 and I am very impressed with the
speed.  It's more crisp than my Pentium!
However, I have a standard Apple keyboard on my G5.  The Numbers part
of the keyboard is not active within XP Pro on VPC7.  Is there a way

How do you get the start for windows on the dock for VPC 7?

I have my Windows XP settings set to UK, including the keyboard layout, but
the keys seem to be fixed in US layout.  They work perfectly in the mac OS.
Anyone know if there¹s anything unusual about the international options in

The full version of VPC7 has been available for some time now; does
anyone have useful information on when the upgrade version will be
available? Frankly, I feel like I'm being punished for being a
previous customer, and I cannot understand the thinking behind the

Anyone tried using VPC 7 and either Garmin Street Pilot or Magellan¹s
version?  With VPC 6, no drivers would work, and I had to send it back.
Tech support for both VPC and Garmin couldn¹t get VPC 6 to work.
Thanks

Hearing that VPC 7 now works with the G5 I ordered a copy and tried to
install it on my dual 2mhz G5 running 10.3.5. After the install
attempt failed multiple times I called Microsoft tech support. I was
told that VPC 7 will not work on G5's with more than 2 gigs of memory

I¹m running SQL server 2000 under VPC7, and tried to apply a SQL Server
Service pack, but when the patch was uncompressing, it tells me there¹s not

above. I tried to rename it back except I don't even know what it was
