Mac Forum / Applications / Virtual PC / June 2005

I've installed English Virtual PC on my eMac at school. I thought I
correctly added Japanese and Japanese keyboards in the control panel,
but I can't seem to enter Japanese text. I can enter Japanese text on
the Mac side of my computer. What's up? Thanks in advance.

I use a teleradiology program that runs well on VPC.  Since switching
to OS 10.4 one feature which requires simultaneously holding the
control key down and the scroll button down does not work.. I assumed
this was because of the problems VPC had with 10.4.  However, the

everything with network sharing and internet access works fine (ping,
nslookup, telnet, ftp etc.) except that i'm not able to connect to internet
with IE or Firefox (any browser). nor from home-network nor from
work-network.

I installed VPC7 on a number of Macs with the idea they'd be able to access
Windows apps over our network, but the Mac users hated it because it slowed
their machines down too much.
They dragged the VPC icon to the trash, but that didn't get the VPC program

Seems to me it shouldn't take a 1.67 GHz Panther 10.3.8 Powerbook running a
VPC 7.01 Windows 2000 Virtual Machine with Virtual Switch, Cisco VPN Client
and Roadrunner, THREE MINUTES to open a Windows directory on a remote

Precompact, Microsoft's hard disk pre-compaction tool for Virtual PC
2004 does work... repeat... DOES WORK, on Virtual PC for the Mac!
And for those who have been tracking my movements about this issue,

pc?  How is it's performance?

My first stab at VPC and Windows. Mac G4, OS 10.2.8, VPC 6.1, Windows
2000 Professional. Got connected to my Airport Extreme after a lot of
hassle, but I can't get print output from a brand new Epson Stylus
Photo R320. (Printer works great with the Mac.) I selected USB printing

I've been a windows user all my life but a long session of de-screwing
up my XP computer showed me that Macs are better. Problem is that,
well... I eat, sleep, and breathe Windows. Answer : Virtual PC, or is
it?

I've been reading the newsgroup for a while, and holding off on migrating to
Tiger because of my need for using VPC for some minor application uses.
I have a question: Exactly what, functionally, breaks with Tiger?  What will
I no longer be able to do that I could do with Panther?  ...

I installed Tiger a few days ago.  Now, every time I start Virtual PC,
Ver 7.0, I get this message:
"Virtual Switch Networking could not be started.

I noticed something that is rather peculiar about Virtual PC, Windows
XP Pro, and how applications running under Windows affect the real
time clock within the virtual machine.  I don't know why this happens,
but it's something interesting I thought I'd like to share.

I am running Virtual PC ver 3.0 on Powerbook G3 running 0S 9.2.2.  I
recently expanded C drive using Hard Disk Expander increasing C drive
from 519K to 1023K.  Virtual PC is working fine with new expansion.
My problem is the C drive image stored on file "Windows 98 SE (520 MB)"
