I have a G5 20" imac. My Virtual PC window is small. I have tried to resize
it but it will only resize to a fourth of the screen. I use to be able to
make it full screen. I recently had to reinstall Virtual PC and it was after

I would mean that OS/2 and eCS will run in VirtualPC but while trying
the installation prgram did crash. Are there special requirements?
Which version of VirtualPC is required?
Thanks for your help.

So, what do you think... will I be able to go on-line and ...

After upgrading Virtual PC 6 to 7 on my 17" PowerBook G4, it doesn't
sleep properly when close the laptop.  The first thing I notice is the
latch button doesn't glow when I close the PowerBook, and frequently
when I reopen it, I hear something running, but the screen never comes

Does partitioning my hard drive make Virtual PC work more efficiently
and faster?  I know it would speed up backups and optimizing to NOT
have Virtual PC on the same disk as my Mac applications and data.

I am using Virtual PC 7 on a new G5 iMac with an HP All-In-One 2610

takes forever to print. Below are the steps I have already taken:

When sending a document to print using the virtual machine additions
printer, a dialog box says printing and then an error message box says
"Print Queue Full."  I have watched the print queue and no document
