Is it VPC asking for your password or Windows? What version of
Windows do you have installed? Sounds a bit more complex than a
simple email explanation...
To answer the second question first it is Windows 98 SE, but I don't
think this is the problem.
It asks for my administrator ID. I get the message:
"To finish setting up Virtual PC, permissions for application support
files must be set correctly. This step completes the installation of
Virtual PC.
Only persons with administrator privileges can modify the
permissions. Enter a valid administrator name and password, then
click Authenticate."
When I do this I get the message:
"The administrator name or password is incorrect. Please type it
again making sure the caps lock key is not pressed".
I installed VPC 5.0 in OS 9.2.2 (having failed to install it
successfully in OS X in order to be able to use it in either system).
I clean installed both OS 9.2.2 and VPC 5.0, each is on a separate
partition which was erased first.
VPC was installed when I had the original version of OS X which came
installed on the G4 Quicksilver. I have always used the same
administrator name and password with all versions of OS X and I have
'clean' installed the latest OS X.3.3 after erasing the partition.
I have repaired permissions but still VPC rejects my administrator
name and/or password. I checked and my password works if I want to
change permissions on my system partition. I have tried both my long
and short names.
I have a copy of VPC 6.0 which I have never loaded because there were
comments about it running woefully slowly in OS X. Now it seems I
will have to re-install in OS X to get it running. Anyone got an
opinion on which runs better in OS X VPC5 or VPC6?
