    GL,

    I am having the same problem, at least as far as the inability to burn CDs
    since installing virtual pc with windows xp. I have a PowerBook G4 and OS
    10.2.8. It seems to be a RAM allocation problem but I do not know how to fix
    that. Have you had any luck solving this problem yet?

    Thanks,
    SM
