Anyone know when the next release will be out that will support the new Mac
Book Pro?

hoping I can get some help here:
I'm running VPC 7 on a G4 PB 1Ghz 1Gig RAM
Have installed xp via an iso file and the inital copying or setup files was
completed and the "pc" rebooted and i saw the 'XP loading" logo and then

Can someone clarify the requirements for installing VPC 7 on a Powerbook?
I can get a standalone VPC cheaply. I assume it doesn't have a version of
VPC that comes with it. Do I need to buy XP separately or do I have to find
a VPC that includes XP?

Installed 2 GB extra in new iMacG5 dual core, now it's 2,5 GB and Mac specs
says it is running fine, but Win XP under Virtual PC 7 only recognizes 512
MB (which is way too little to make it run swift) so, how do I get VPC / Win
XP to use 2 GB of the 2,5?

I am running Virtual PC 6.1 on a Mac Powerbook G4 with a Matias OS X
Keyboard attached... I can not find a way to make the numerical keypad
work with VPC... I've seen "hints" about the clear key but the clear
key on the keypad is a "tab" key... Any suggestions???

For some DVD recorders/players I need to download Some windows files.
VPC does this no problem.  I then drag the file on my Mac desktop.
I think then your would have to burn this file in Toast at iso 1699.
I did this once and it did not work, but  I'm still not sure if it was

I have been having a problem with sending mail from VP7 with Outlook.
I can receive e-mail because I use a different server to receive mail.
I've called Verizon and they don't know why I would be having the
problem.  I have VP7 set up on my Ibook also and have no problem

No one answered me the first time, so I thought I should post it again.
PLEASE help me...
I've run out of space on my virtual PC drive.  I've learned from
scanning past posts that you can't increase a drive's allotted size.

I have already posted here about my almost complete satisfaction with
VPC7 now that I've migrated it onto a G5. That experience continues.
The prog runs rock-solid, and my apps in XP just fly, rivalling the
performance of similar native Mac apps. I notice someone else here

I am a new mac user and just installed virtual PC 7 onto my iBook.  The
problem is that the window I see on my mac is very small and will not expand
when I drag the R bottom corner.  When I set it to fill the screen, the
Microsoft window stays small and the remainder of my screen ...

In the next version of Virtual PC, will it run 64-bit Windows Vista
Business on 64-bit Mac G5 PowerPC (preferred)?

I bought my Imac G5, my VPC 7 and my Epson C86 all at the same time a
year ago. They all worked fine together until my printer stopped
printing last month. Epson sent me a new one, a C88. I hooked
everything up, it prints fine in the Mac, but when I print in VPC

am running W2K in VPC7. I am able to send netmeeting request but
unable to receive.
do i need to do any settings in firewall? Shared neworking is enabled.
I can see different IP address than my Mac's in VPC.

Just finished installing Fedora Core 4 onto VPC for the Mac.
At the first it crashes with "Unrecoverable Error"
Any ideas?

I'm having a major problem with Virtual PC v.7 on my brand new Mac
Powerbook G4!  The purpose of running this software on the machine is
to be able to run a windows-only application called Office Tracker (an
