NEW INFORMATION
______________________________________________________

Connectix RAM Doubler users should use version 2.0.1 or later.

Hard Disk Drivers - be sure to have the current version of your hard disk driver software installed.

Norton Utilities CrashGuard 1.0 generates an erroneous crash message when Virtual PC is launched.

Hybrid CD-ROM disks (Mac and PC versions on the same CD) may appear unreadable to the PC when used on older Mac CD-ROM drives and/or with out-of-date CD-ROM driver software. Use the latest CD-ROM driver software.

If using the Virtual PC ÒAdjust Mac Video ResolutionÓ setting (in Virtual PC Video Preferences), desktop icons may be repositioned during Virtual PC resolution switch Full Screen and Window mode. This problem only occurs under Mac OS 7.x.

MSINPUT.INI is required in DOS for MS Mouse driver functionality in DOS. Consult Microsoft documentation for installation and configuration of the MSINPUT.INI file.

Do not use a PC drive compression utility (such as ÒDrivespaceÓ or ÒStackerÓ) on the Virtual PC drive image. If the VPC drive image is mounted on the Mac desktop, only the uncompressed portion of the disk is visible. Consult the VPC manual for methods of increasing PC hard drive space.

Dynamic IP address assignment using DHCP will not work under Windows and Mac OS simultaneously. One IP number must be static.

If Virtual PC is running on multiple systems on a PC network - be sure to have unique computer description and user names set in the Windows 95 Network control panel to avoid a Windows networking error message #38.

The manual incorrectly states that the best printer is the Epson LQ2500.  Although VPC will print correctly when an LQ2500 driver is specified, better graphics resolution will be available if an Epson AP3260 driver is used.  Both Windows 95 and Windows 3.11 ship with drivers for this type of printer.

The manual incorrectly states that the largest amount of PC memory that can be recognized is 64 MB. It is actually 128 MB.

INSTALLED PC/MAC INTEGRATION COMPONENTS
______________________________________________________

For Virtual PC to provide integration between the Mac and PC environments, the following drivers are pre-installed in Windows 95/DOS:

MACMOUSE: This component provides 1) the ability to drag the mouse between Mac and PC environments and 2) better response for the mouse in Windows.

FSHARE: This component enables VPCÕs folder sharing in DOS, Windows 3.x, and Windows 95. The PC environment sees the shared Mac's folders as mounted ÒsharedÓ volumes with distinct drive letters.

SYNCTIME: This component synchronizes PC time in Windows with the Mac clock.

MACVFLAT: The MACVFLAT driver works in conjunction with the Windows 95 S3 video drivers to speed up video accesses. Although not required for correct operation, 
users will notice longer video latencies (e.g. slower menus and window redraws) without this driver. This driver is only applicable and available for Windows 95.
