Has anyone figured out how to use a GPS receiver (Earthmate) with
Delorme Street Atlas running under VP7?
I have no problems using VP7 with Delorme and many other PC programs.

I read about a new feature for my TiVo that will allow me to archive shows by
burning them onto a DVD.  Unfortunately, there's only software available for
Windows to burn the DVD's.
Is it possible to burn DVD's using my Mac's superdrive from my Virtual PC

Can anyone help please?  I have just installed VPC7 with WinXP.  After
it installs Windows and I start up (Step 3 of installation), I get an
error message:
An unexpected error occurred when running "Windows XP Professional".

I recently installed VPC 7 with XP Pro to use PaperPort on my mac so I

could do to optimize its performance.

Speaking and Virtual PC. The voice dictation programs native to OS X

appreciated.

I realilize I can call MS but I've already used 3 calls on other
topics.
I tried to streamline VPC 7 and XP Pro and now I can't connect to the
internet with Windows.

Is there a way to prevent VPC7 from automatically attaching USB
devices?  When I connect a USB disk, OS X mounts the disk, but a few

Ok, I just have a general and most likely stupid question. Can I run
