Re: Virtual PC Newbie

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Hi,
I downloaded Virtual PC successfully, at least that was the message. When
I try to open it a small dark screen appears in upper right. Menu on its
right is "New, Run, Start" there is one other I don't recall right now,
Whatever I click on brings up dark scree, "message : "put disc in and
press any key." There is no disc, and this is where I am at now. Also, I
uninstalled VPC and redownloaded again.

Not familiar with VirtualPC, but isn't that used to run another operating
system under Windoze? So what disc do you think it's looking for? Probably
the other operating system you want to install. Are there no docs for this
thing? Did you bother reading them? Why would you want to even download
something that you obviously have no idea about what it's about and why
you'd even need it?
