Clae, because Connectix has discontinued VPC version 2 you cannot d/l the 2.x updaters anymore. That's why I have digged up an old CD and have put the latest 2.1.3 updater here: <homepage.mac.com/sysop1>. It contains the 2.1.3 application updater which you have to run first, then the Hard Drive Expander Updater, then see if you can boot it, if so finally drag-and-drop the file Vpc211ad.exe from your Mac desktop onto the Windooz desktop, double click it and let it install the VPC additions. -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
