Hi.  I'm installing VPC 7 with XP Pro on an 700 mhz eMac with 768 ram -
obviously not the fastest machine - but it seems to freeze up when it
gets started on the windows installation part of the process.
Does it just take forever on this old machine or should I try doing

I am trying to install windows XP, however, my disk apparently isn't

People,
I have an HP 882C inkjet attached to my eMac via USB. It works fine -
for Mac apps. My eMac is running OS 10.2.8. I also have VPC 7.0.2
running Windows XP Home. I set my VPC settings for enabled USB and also

I understand on the G4 Mac either VPC 6 or 7 is supported on Panther or
Tiger.
Is there any advantage in getting  VPC 7 rather than VPC 6 for my
G4/1.25?

There are many copies of VPC for sale on eBay, with and without Windows.

running it?
Thanks

I get the mesage "Sorry, this version of Virtual PC will not run within the
Blue Box." I used to run the Virtual PC on my G3, which had Mac OS9. The
PowerBook G4 has Mac OS 10.3.8 and it also has what it calls "Classic
