Mac Forum / Applications / Virtual PC / May 2005

i downloaded vpc 7 from my school and received the serial number for
it. But for some reason, the program will not run! it keep asking me to
use a program to open it??? I just swiched to mac couple weeks ago,
please give me a detail instruction.

Based on my experience, it appears there's a second major VPC problem
with Tiger, besides the Virtual Switch networking problem. I will make
this as brief and concise as I can:
(1) When you install Tiger (via "archive and install" for example),

I wanted to know if VPC 7.01 emulating Windows XP would support two
network cards; therefore, four IP addresses with four MAC addresses
would exist on one MAC machine when using the virtual switch.  Is this
correct?  Has anyone tried this?

I just bought 7.0 upgrade. I'm real annoyed with microsoft for not
mentioning, other in very fine type buried in the install manual, that
if you have 5.0 ot 6.0 VPC and run it on an old OS like windows 98 it

I've twice tried installing XP onto my iMac G5 machine, attempting to
install it on the partition created by the Virtual PC for Mac software

Installation hangs at 91%. Anny hints?

through Shared Folders. Is this a new bug, or did my Tiger install move
something?

Suddenly, VPC is no longer able to connect to the internet. I'm using Shared
Networking.  It worked fine the other day.
Any suggestions?

One of the main reason why I'm using Virtual PC is to run MS Visio.
Is there a Mac software that would pretty much do the same thing and
let me create Network design?  Could I save under a Visio format?
Is there a Visio viwer for Mac?

G'Day all.
Here's a hairy one for you! (and one that has me stumped)
Using VPC 7.0.1 here (with Win 2000 Pro).
Created a Hard Disk Image (Drive E:) - stored all my work files in it.

I bought the full version of Microsoft Office that came with Virtual PC
7 and a license of Win XP Pro. A week later I purchased an 1.67ghz
Powerbook and Virtual PC 7 without Windows. I already had one from my
old PC that died.

I am running Virtual PC 7 on a Mac running OSX 10.3.9, and the main
admin account I long into has becomer unstable, and Apple says I need
to delet it.
I have set up another admin account and copied almost everything to it

iMac g5 with VPC7. It finds and plays Both MP3 and AIFF but can't
