Mac Forum / Applications / Virtual PC / April 2005

I bought a standalone VPC 7.0.1.  I am using a hard disk image from an
OS Pack for Windows XP Home.  Worked well for a while, then after
reinstalling some software, I am unable to startup the PC.  It hangs an

Has anyone been able to use this program G3 version with Virtual PC?
I am using a Powerbook G4

Is there any way to get images (legally) for other virtual machines for the
Mac? I have Windows XP pro with my version and would like to try maybe Win
98.
It that possible. Does anyone have a site with a repository of other virtual

I've got some client software to test.  It took an awfully long time to
install XP and get it all patched.  I'd like to save time by creating
multiple virtual machines of XP by simply making copies of it, with
necessary changes such as Ethernet MAC and whatever.  Can this be done?

Has anyone figured out how to get the VM Additions Printer in VP7 to
actually print to an optional tray.  I have a wireless network printer
which prints just fine with all the Macs but VP7 will only print on the
standard (small) tray no matter what I do inside WinXP Pro.  WinXP Pro

PC programme called 'Hornby Virtual Railway 2' (this is basically a
programme for designing and running a Hornby model railway layout). The

I'm having trouble printing from virtual pc to my Mac printer. I've
printed via networking before, but I'm wanting to use the simple option

I have a logitech USB Headset/mic (from the PS2 Socom video game)When I
run VPC7 (WinXP home) it sees the mic, but will not enable to drivers
so I can use it. I go to the device manager and it says Composite USB

I have installed VPC 7.0.1 on MacOSX 10.3.8 and have imported/migrated the
older VPC 6 Win98SE Guest OS.
After this I update the Win98SE to WinXP Professional. All works fine, but I
could not print and share folders.

Hey Everyone,

wireless network.  Everything works fine except Wireless networking which,

I’m a new Mac user (Mac Mini), but found Quicken for the Mac
unacceptable.  
My question is, will Quicken 2005 for PC using Virtual PC on my Mac

I am running Redhat Linux, vmlinuz version 2.4.20-6 under virtual pc.
In order to keep linux time synchronised to Mac time, I run vpctimed in

vpc 7.0.1  I get the message:

Although I surmise from other posts that webcams don't work in VPC 7 (the
first version I tried), I was wondering why.  VPC "sees" the device on the
USB port.  Also, other USB devices, like printers...and the keyboard for
that matter...DO work.  Thank you in advance for any ...
