Mac Forum / Applications / Virtual PC / November 2006

I know that this topic has been done to death, but I have seen little
evidence as to what one should actually *do* when encountering kernel
panics. I'm using VPC 7.02 on a dual 2.3GHz G5 with 1GB of RAM, running
OS X 10.4.8. I've installed Windows XP (SP1 upgraded to SP2), and I

I have a 20" G5 iMac running Mac OS 10.3.9 with VPC (with the
Home XP OS). I have been quite happy for a while now and VPC
seems to have worked well enough for the one program I need it
for (Personal Ancestral File - PAF).

I'm running Mac OS 10.4.5 on a Mac Mini G4 1.42 GHz with 1 gig of Ram.
I have 16 Gig of free space on this hard drive.  The hard drive is one
partition.
I'm trying to install Virtual PC 7 on this Mac, and when I get to the

Please forgive me if this question has been covered before, but my ISP
only keeps one month's worth of newsgroup messages. I tried searching
through that meager archive and didn't see this question.
How does the Mac OS X firewall affect a VPC guest running with shared

Successful for most??
I've had installation problems, but that may be due to not figuring out
how to disable my Avast anti-virus. (Don't work on Windows XP that much)
How do you "disable" a program like this anyway? So easy on a Mac.

Probably a stupid question from newbie.  I have a Mac G5 dual 2.7 GHz,
6GB of RAM.  I have a PC based CD that connects me to a site on the
web.  If I install Virtual PC 7 for the Mac will it be able to read the
PC CD and connect me to the web?  Thanks for any help you can provide

I have a burned cd with family pics on it that was created with a pc. I
need to transfer those images to a mac computer. I can transfer some
but not all of them. It tells me they are not readable. Do you know why
this would be? Is there a way to work around this? Any help would be

With all the problems that I've had with VPC on my Mac I'm so welcoming
the Parallels software on the Core Duo machines so that I can finally
deliver VPC into the dustbin and try to forget the money that I've wasted
on this product.

I purchased a copy of Virtual PC 6.1 that includes Windows XP Pro.  I
want to use my copy of XP Pro on my intel based Mac (boot camp) but I
can't figure out how retrieve the product key for the software.  Is
there a way to do this?  I have registered the copy of windows

I want to make use of a bmp file at present in Word for Mac to my

I have Mac OS X 10.4.8 on a PowerBook G4, with VPC 6.1 -
but ... Mac OS X will not accept the OS/2 Warp 4 installation CD -
does not recognize the format.
How do I get past this to install OS/2 Warp 4 on VPC ??

Why do I still have it?

Does anyone have any experiences with getting any type of Web cam to
work with Windows XP Pro on VPC 6? I realize that any USB 2 device I
plug into my Mac comes across the Windows guest as a USB 1.1, so I'm not
expecting USB web cams to work. How about FireWire?

We have a customer who uses a Mac PowerBook G5 and she bought virtual
pc 7 to test an application that we developped. Everything seems to
work fine on the Virtual PC and the internet is working.
The main problem is that our application is not able to upload any

Couldd someone please tell me how I get Virtual PC  (7.02) to recognize
so I can burn a CDR that appears on my Mac OSX desktop??  What do I
have to do so VPC "sees it"?
