I wondered if anyone could help me to use my bundled XP Home that came
with Virtual PC 5 on a PC I bought. (I had just bought both a Mac Mini

don't feel I need to change either at the moment, so the clearance PC

Hello, I could really use some help. After a crash on my iBook G4,
10.4.11, which occurred while my virtual PC machine was Paused, I can
not access this machine at all. At first it came up with a black, DOS-

Hello all, I have been having a problem trying to move or backup my virtual pc file (v7.0.3) off of the hard drive on my PowerBook G4.  I have lived with it up until now, but I am migrating to a new macbook and want to get the file over to the new MacBook so I can import it into Parallels.

Last week it was announced that VPC for the Mac 7.03 was the end of the line
for the product.  Microsoft will not create a patch to fix any issues with
OSX 10.5 Leopard.  
It was reported here http://www.macobserver.com/article/2007/12/12.10.shtml

I remember reading a while back about a RAM limit of 2 Gig for VPC but I
thought 7.01 patch fixed this.  Today I upgraded my G5 from 1.5 Gig of RAM
to 3.5 Gig.  I went into VPC afterwards to bump up my memory settings for
some of my Virtual machines and noticed that the maximum I ...

I have VPC installed with Leopard and everything is working fine. I can browse the internet and everything. However, I have a MAMP server running on my Mac. All my other PC's can access this by putting in the IPaddress (in my case it is 192.168.1.112). However, in the VPC, I can not

I have been trying to install Virtual PC so I can run Windows XP

Anybody else notice that on 01-15-08 after Microsoft updated their Mac
portion of the site that VPC is no longer mentioned except for Corporate
Deployment and the 7.03 Patch.  I did searches and all the links on VPC 7
articles I tried were no longer any good.  If it's not Mac Office ...

I'm considering to purchase Microsoft® Virtual PC for Mac Version 7. I
have a PowerBook G4 and wonder if I can run Microsoft® Virtual PC for
Mac Version 7 on it, or if I'll have to use the previous version. I
appreciate any help on this topic.

I have VPC 7 running on a Mac G5 Dual 2GHz PowerPC. I have to wipe my hard drive and reinstall the OS. I use Quickbooks Pro in VPC. What files do I need to copy so that I don't lose all my Quickbooks info? I think I have to reinstall QB on VPC after I reinstall VPC, correct? Thanks...

Forgot the critical info: this is on a Leopard-installed (10.5.1)
PowerBook G4. with VPC 7.01 (I have 7.03, but am waiting until I
resolve this problem).
I get an error message upon launching VirtualPC when I try to launch
