Virtual PC is normally not supported by most companies. When you choose to put a PC program into VPC you are really taking it into your own hands to do so. I have a Mac and have had VPC. It is a crapshoot at best, so I choose not to take chances with an expensive program. I also always call a company before hand. Most tell me that they will not be able to give me any technical support if I choose to try it. I hope you can remedy the problem. I recently purchased a PC to do some cross-platform work, so did not have to make a choice. Cris
