VPC on Jaguar

Hi all,

I am running Virtual PC 6.1 (Windows 98) on a Yikes running Jaguar.  I 
have noticed some pretty major differences between this version and the 
Connectix VPC 3 I had on my 7300.  I am wondering if there is any way 
around these, or if the MS Mac Team just broke these features:

1.  I can't share files between OSs.  When I tell VPC to share a 
folder, it gets recognized as a Z: drive, but I can't copy any files 
off of it (windows formatted files!), it just gives me a couple error 
messages, like
"the file does not exist" or "there was a problem."

2.  I can't drag-and-drop files between the OSs.  This was such a cool 
feature in 3!

3.  I can't get the video card to go higher than its default, 4mb.  I 
increase the VRAM in the Prefs panel to 8mb, but the card still shows 
up as 4mb!

TIA,
-Lavode
