Mac Forum / Applications / Virtual PC / November 2005

Suddenly, VPC is running at a crawl and I can't figure out why.  I have
tried various memory settings (256, 384, 512) and none of them seem to do

I do have an old version of WinXP that shows up on  my VirtualPC list when I

I just got a Jasjar windows mobile 2005 phone. It requires activesync 4.0.
I was able to activesync it on a real PC, but my VirtualPC (with activesync
4.1 running ok with another iPaq) refuses to talk with the Jasjar.
Already deleted older partnerships.

hey i can get xp's internet to work, but i have to enter everything in
manuely. i want to use msn 7, but it is so slow i cant do anything, so
i thought 98 would be faster (is it?), so i installed 98, and now i
enter everything in manuely but it still doesn't work.

and can you also list how much memory you were using, what operating
system, and your macs specs?

I recently purchased a PowerBook G4 and Virtual PC 7 w/ Windows XP Pro.
I ran into the problems installing Virtual PC.  Here was the series of
events.
1) Updated my Mac to Mac OS 10.4.3

When I copy text from WinXP Pro running under Virtual PC 7.0.2 to
applications running on OS X 10.4.2, a null character is appended to
the pasted string.  For example, if I copy (Ctrl+C) a URL from Notepad,
paste (Cmd+V) it into Safari's address bar and hit enter, either a

I can install VPC 7 on 10.3.9, but when I then install the Windows XP
that is included, it appears to install for about 10-15 minutes. It
stops, but nothing appears in the Virtual PC List, so I cannot proceed.
Nor does doing a FIND locate Windows anywhere on the computer. I have

I have been trying to create a Windows XP Pro VPC that I can use the latest
versions of SQL Server and Visual Studio, but have not had any luck getting
the installs to complete successfully.
First I attempted to install SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition and it would

I've gone thru all the steps many times....  I'm trying to install
Windows 2000, from a CD, to VPC 7.  The black window opens and I get
"OS not found - Install an OS on this hard drive"  My CD is in the
drive, hitting return takes me to "Reboot and Select proper Boot device

Hey gang-
Running VPC 7.02 on my G5 iMac and it works great.  But I do have one
weird problem with printing.  If I send my printing to the attached USB
Brother MFC-420, everything is printed in reverse!  Think of a mirror

Suddenly my PC virtual machine cannot log on to the network, even though I
am fine with OSX.  Can anyone suggest where I should go to "reconnect"?
Thanks!

I'm running VPC 6.1.1 for Mac, with Windows 2000 Professional.
Recently, on my Mac (G4 iMac 17" flat screen, with OS X 10.3.9) I had to
Archive (my data) and Install (a fresh OS X).
When I dragged the HD image for Windows 2000 Professional from the archived

I am curious as to whether I am able to use (from within VirtualPC) my CD
burner on my G5 iMac. I need to create CDs without all of the "._.DS_Store"
etc files appearing on the disk (invisible Mac files). The disk needs to be
clean for viewing on Mac and Windows.

I'm hoping someone here can assist me with the problems I'm having with
my Virtual PC v7.0.0 with WinXP Pro on my Mac G5 with OSX 10.3.9. I've
searched through the older posts here and spent the last few hours
Googling for anything that might help. I've come close, but I still

I just get the "page cannot be displayed" message.
I have tried everything I have read on this and other pages, including
turning off all firewalls, (vpc, mac and netbarrier), changing VPC TPC/
DNS address to mac's instead of being automatic, changing IE LAN to
