I am running Ubuntu 6.0.1 in my VPC 6.1.  I my boot log (dmesg) is
filled with the messages:
 Losing some ticks... checking if cpu frequency changed.
Any way of getting rid of this message?

I just purchased VPC 7 Upgrade (no Windows OS included). I already have
VPC5 with Windows 98se running on my eMac, but I needed the upgrade for
my new(er) PowerMac G5. The problem?
Is it possible to install Windows 98 OS from the VPC5 disc as a Virtual

Thought I had this VPC figured out and working, but now when the VPC desktop
opens and I try and open Internet Explorer, nothing happens.  I double click
and see the little hourglass for a few seconds and then nothing.  The little
hard disk symbol at the bottom blinks a couple times ...

When exiting (closing) VPC somehow it wiped out newly installed
accounting software.  The few times I'd used VPC before had been with
"carry undoable changes forward" checked. However, after studying the
options at close I used "save to hard drive" instead.  Next time I

Windows XP SP2 in VPC 7 stopped working with Windows Update.

I can't print from my virtual pc 7 to my MFC - 9700 on my PowerBook G4.
When I attempt to print from the VPC7 the print manager just hangs up
and nothing prints, whether from the VPC7 or the Mac. When I delete the
VPC7 print job the Mac print jobs print just fine.

I just installed Virtual PC v7.0 successfully...I think.  The program came
with 3 CDs, but I only used the 2 installation CDs...what does the 3rd CD,
titled Additional Windows System Files, do and how and when does it get
installed/used?  

Because my version of VPC 6.0 won't  connect to the server I did a
manual download for the updater 6.1.1 to my Mac but when I try to
install the update this screen is the result:
"Windows cannot open this file (Virtual PC 6.1.1 Update EN-DE-FR) To

I have been nothing but frustrated with VPC since I bought it for
almost $300.  It never ran the programs I wanted to run - when it did,
the icons and file names and some fields would be blacked out and
unresponsive.

Before I get to the question(s), let me first apologize to anyone who
is offended by cross-posting - I found the generic VPC list and posted
there, not realizing that there was a separate VPC-Mac list. My bad!
Secondly, I should probably apologize for the long-windedness of this

I just successfully installed Microsoft office professional 2004 for
Mac.  When I try to install Virtual PC, the application quits
unexpectedly and cannot be recalled.  My version of Mac OS is Mc OS X
10.4.7.  Why can I not install the application and why does it keep

I just installed Virtual PC 7 with Windows XP on a G4. I am trying to click
on the PC menu but the mouse wont go there, (no better way to describe
this). I want to install the Virtual Machine Additions. I can't even get to
my Mac desktop.

Will Virtual PC run on an iBook G4?  Additionally, would it be able to
handle a game such as "The Elder Scrolls: Arena" running on DOS 6.22
from 1993 or so?

Will it cause the simcity 4000 for mac is expensive and the windows
version i can buy it for cheap.
