I am in need of some help.  I am trying to get some software to work
that I use to process insurance billing claims in the virtual pc
program.  The modem is working (I can hear it communicating) but it is
not processing once it connects to the 800 number I dial into.

I hope someone else has had this problem, as I can't find it in the knowledge

a 1.33 powerbook), which

I just upgraded my RAM from 1 GIG to 3 in my host machine (Mac G5) but
the VPC settings will still only allow me 512 Mb (half the old

I have been looking to see whether I should upgrade my OS for my
Mac-Mini to the latest but will not do so if VPC for the MAC will not work.

Thanks in advance,

I have a Win98 virtual machine, now running on Tiger with VPC 7.0.1. I
haven't used it for a while because I had acquired a G5, and then I had
trouble getting it to work properly with VPC 7.0.1. I have finally
managed to get it to work, but I can't get it to connect to the

I am trying to connect a QuickCam Pro 4000 to Virtual PC on a G5
powerbook. I need to run the device to use with MSN messenger for the
PC. The device seems to install just fine and is recognized in the
device manager on VPC. However, it says that I cannot start the device.

I need some help!!!  I have this installed in my MAC G4 with OS 9.
Problem is I can't seem to access some IE files/webpages which are
secure.  Does this have anything to do with settings?  If anyone can

People,
I posted this message a few days ago but received only one response that
wasn't very helpful and didn't address the second question at all, so
I'm posting again.
