dchenesARGH!
Microsoft.
Virtual PC 7.0.1 for Mac, to be precise.
It installed itself, and then restarted the computer, like it said it was going to. Then when it went to do setup, it suddenly can't find the installation CD. The computer knows it's there, but the program doesn't. So now every time I restart the computer, or shut it down and start it up again,VirtualPC asks for its installation CD, which the computer loads, and the setup program then proceeds to ignore. Or I just tell it not to bother, and then Virtual PC goes away and I can do other things.
ARGH!
And no linen in the mail today either. My inner brat is all about instant gratification and is HIGHLY displeased.
ROWRBAZZLE!

Date: 2005-01-25 02:49 pm (UTC)So now I know that if I do go MAC, I should just keep my old laptop around for running PC only programs, instead of using Virtual PC.
I'm shocked though. A Microsoft product getting in the way of the boot process? A Microsoft install program that has trouble seeing the install CD?
Never. Such things are unheard of! There must be something screwy going on.
