I am running a program called Media Shout that requires dual monitors.

I installed machine embroidery software in VPC 7 and received an error
message: "Error. Can't write on disk. Disk full? If you are running
Windows NT/2000/XP, please log on as Administrator." I emailed the
creator of the program and he said that probably indicated the program

I have never tried this with an earlier version of VPC, but I cannot get
Activesync to connect to my Pocket PC under VPC7.  It recognizes that an

I have read that you can disable certain services on XP PRO. Which
ones can you disable and how do you do it?  I do not know where to go
to do this. I read that it will help the performance.  I am looking to
run access and I think at this point Virtual PC would run it too slow.

Using VPC 6.1, i installed a printer i think it was successful, but nothing
ever printed.  Now when I try to open VPC, it starts to re-spool the print
file (546 pages) and then crashes.  I have canceled the Print upon startup
and it also crashes.

After just receiving a shiny new box with office 2004 and vpc7 the
first thing I needed to get up and running was VPC. Shared networking

funtions I use it for for testing will not function without. This has

I'm on a dual 2.5 G5 running 10.3.6 and VPC 7 and I have been unable to
get ANY UBS device to work with it. They all work great on the Mac side
(devices are both PC/Mac) but I cannot get any to work at all. I have a
Plantronics head set that won't work, and a Logitech USB ...

Help. In VPC 6.1 connected by USB, the computer will not recognize my
PDA. I have tried to activate all connections, etc. but no luck. Any
ideas? Thanks.

I have a 2GHz Dual G5 with 1.5GB RAM and can't run VPC7, showing the
same errors as others have: "An unrecoverable processor error has been
encountered. The PC will restart now." So I'm not sure if the problem
is the total amount of RAM, the size of RAM chips (I have 2x256MB and

If I make configuration changes to VPC in order to commit them to the drive
I have to shutdown.
Is there a way to force this commit to happen while VPC is running?
Does my question make sense?

Help,
  I just installed VPC 7.0 with XP on my PowerMac Dual 2 Ghz.  I am

I've discovered the cause for the errors that many people have been
having. The problem manifests itself as DNS failure: IE reports that it
cannot find the site, but if you enter an IP address it works!
Here's the problem: Virtual PC uses the built in firewall to manage its

I have VPC 6.1 with windows XP on my imac OS X.
I was wondering if it is necessary to use a virus protector
on the windows XP. I never use the e-mail on the VPC, in fact I have
not even opened up the e-mail program to set it up.

Has anyone had any issues in getting external hardrives to be
recognized by virtual PC?  I have attempted to download the following
driver (http://www.buslink.com/s_drivers.asp#Windows%20ME) but the
virtual PC keeps hanging and won't recognize.  Any insight would be
