Virtual PC for Mac Version 7 with Winxp prof.

[bruceaparry]

I have a Powerbook G4 purchased last October with 2 GB Crucial Ram added.
I have the package of MS Virtual PC for Mac Version 7 with Windows XP professional BUT it will not properly install.
I reside in Kuwait but purchased softwarte from USA and it would appear to be not eligable for support.

I uninstalled, rebuilt HD with DiskWarrior and reinstalled - wont work
i.e. either cannot install or cannot run windows programs.

Very start of install I get message:

The Start up Library Folder ("library/startupitems:] does not have
proper security settings.
To fix security settings click fix. To skip using items in this folder
and show message again click decide

I clicked FIX but apparently to no good effect

Then I got the message Virtual Switch networking could not be started.
permissions for the support were set correctly, but virtual wsitch
failed to load. Please report this problem to Microsoft. (Code :
A1004) Virtual PC for mac will run without Virtual PC networking.

If anyone can advise me of or point me in direction of a solution I shall be most grateful

Thanks

Which version of MacOS X are you running?

I have no idea why you are getting the error referencing /Library/StartupItems/ because Virtual PC 7 does not use it.

The Virtual Switch bug has been fixed in later versions of VPC. However, the error message is more annoying than the bug. Shared Networking works fine and fills the needs of 99.9% of VPC users. The annoying error message goes away once you download and install the VPC update.
