Mac Forum / Applications / Virtual PC / February 2006

I replaced the printer.  New printer is Brother mfc420cn.  All printing
from vpc is reversed.
What can I do to fix this?  The old printer was a Brother mfc3820cn,
which worked fine until the printer broke.

as I had to format and reinstall MacOX, I unfortunely also have to reinstall
Virtual PC.
The image I had created (directory "Virtual PC List") before formatting I
saved and now again put on my newly formatted computer. But unfortunately

Can I run Linux on VPC7 on my G5?
If so, what would be the best version, SuSe Linux 10, YellowDog, etc.
Thanks

My mac went down during a power outage and I had VPC running.  Now when
I start VPC up I get a boot screen that says "a disk read error occured
Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart".
When I try to restart I get the same message again so it seems pretty

I have recently upgraded from VPC 6.1 to 7.02 and am running on a G5
iMac with Windows XP and an Epson C80 printer. After installation,
there was no sign of a VM Additions Printer ikn the Windows 'Printer
and Fax' window. Uninstalling and reinstalling VM Additions generated a

Any compelling reason I should buy XP Pro as opposed to XP Home to run
in VPC7 on my Dual 2.0 G5? I use VPC only for managing a huge Quicken
file, plus running tax software. I also occasionally fire up IE. Will
Pro be more tweakable to optimize vitual performance or should I save

I recently bought an Intel Core iMac and Microsoft Virtual PC for Mac
Version 7 with XP Professional.  After I initiate the installation of
Virtual PC from the CD, when it reboots, it gives me an error message
about "security" issues in my "startupitems" file, then it closes down

Hello!  I have Virtual PC installed on a new imac G5 with 1.5 MB ram.
I did the upgrade form 7 to 7.0.2.  I need it to run MS Access XP for
my database.  I am having 2 BIG problems:

When I check the check box for "Show Start menu in dock" it appears, I
press Ok, but then if I go back to the settings the setting has

I want to access my personal banking info .
The site requires a PC running windows. I have a G5 running 10.3.9.
Will I be able to connect to the internet, download the latest
Explorer, and connect to my Chase One Net site.

I have three problems that I need some help with:
1.  (And I realize this is not strictly a VPC problem) In order to
manage proper defragmentation of the C: drive, I have created a 1 GB
Virtual Hard Drive (F:) to use exclusively for the Page File.  I

Do anyone knows if Autodesk inventor runs on virtual pc for mac?

Strictly from a VPC7 standpoint, is there reason why I should shell out
more money for XP Pro to run in VPC7, as opposed to XP Home? I use
Quicken and tax software primarily; sometimes IE as well. Is Pro more
tweakable to optimize performance in VPC? I looked for old threads on

After using Steve's Win98 VD to help create my Win98 OS in VPC7, I
later installed the free AVG anti-virus from Grisoft. On rebooting, the
AVG detector kicked in during the DOS start-up--followed by Steve's
install screen asking for the WIN98 CD. There is an obvious conflict

I've just upgraded my IMac to 1.5G RAM.  WHen I go into the PC Settings
for my VPC7.0.2 my available RAM is still maxed at 512MB.  Any ideas as
to why VPC seems not to be picking up the additional 1GB?
