My response was to increase the "PC memory" for the VPC from 96 MB up to

I have never had problems accessing the Internet from Virtual PC 5, 6,
or 7 until recently.  When OSX update 10.4.6 downloaded onto my
computer, all of a sudden I could no longer access the Internet from
Virtual PC 7. I've tried reformatting my Mac's hard drive.  I've

I'm currently using a new iBook G4, 1.42Ghz, 512MB (soon to be updated to
1GB) and need to use MS Access for work.  I can't really afford a new intel
machine so am thinking about installing virtual PC and running Access that
way. Could anyone advise how I can expect it to perform.  ...

On an external drive, I have a 80GB file, but when I share the folder
as a drive, I can't see the same contents, namely the file has shrunk.
So, on the Mac I see this...

Is there a special trick to get VPC working in shared networking on a
computer running Mac OS X Server?
How does VPC use the NAT built into Mac OS X, if it does?
I've been trying to figure out why an OS running in VPC can't seem to get

I'm attempting to install OS/2 Warp Server to eBusiness within Virtual
PC 7 for Mac; so far it has failed to partition the disks when
selecting 'Windows NT' as the OS choice - I get the farthest by
choosing 'UNIX' as the OS type, at which point the install formats the

I am running Virtual PC 7.02 with Windows XP Pro (including installed
additions) on a new imac G5 with OS X. I have a Sony ICD-ST voice recorder
installed on Virtual PC that connects via a usb port. I have captured the

I have been using VP 7 with Xp Pro to run my management program
successfully for 3 months and for no apparent reason XP won't boot and
VP7 asks me to load an operating system. Therefore I can't access my
management program. I have back up but need to know where original may

I run a local network of virtual machines located in 3 or 4 Macs. 2 of
these virtual machines are located in my PowerBook G4. One of them acts
like a server holding license information. Other virtual machines
including my second virtual machine are clients for the server.

Anybody know if the VPC Windows XP pro disc that comes with VPC 7 can
be used with Bootcamp or how to make a bootable CD from this cd?
thanks

Today I intalled VirtualPC 7 with XP Pro on a Quad G5 and after the 2nd
reboot I got errors about incorrect permissions.  After doing the
Windows XP image setup, I rebooted the Mac and it came up without
either ethernet port working.  I had to resort to a wireless

Having started the install of VPC 7.0.2 since about 10 a.m., it seems
almost not worth running this program.  How does Microsoft(R) make the
claims for something that is not near what they claim it is to perform
at?

This is where I am stuck on VPC 7.02. I thought I did install the XP
OS, but apparently not. what do i need to do?
Thanks!

I've searched the forums, but only found reports of problems, no
successes, so thought I'd make my one post to add to the clutter...
I am currently using Virtual PC 7.0, running Windows 2000, and am
trying to get ActiveSync to recognize my USB-connected Windows Mobile

Have just installed VPC upgrade 7.0.2 from 6.1.1. Problem is, the
pointer won't move between Windows & Mac desktop and I can't even get
the pointer to appear on Mac desktop when the virtual machine is
running. So, I can't enlarge the virtual machine window and I have to
