[G5] Re: VPC 7.0

[Joel Gerdeen]

I recd my VPC 7 WinXP Pro  last night from Amazon through UPS.  Placed 
the order on Sept 21 and shipped on Oct 1.  Have it installed and 
experimenting with it  on my 1.8 G5 Single processor.  So far just 
learning and using all defaults.  Installed Symantec Antivirus from a 
CD and did LiveUpdate OK.  Ran IE ok.  Mounted a real USB floppy and 
created a virtual floppy.

Upgraded to Media Player 10 through Windows Update.  Found out it would 
not play if other Mac app (Video Viewer) was generating sound.  Gives 
error message saying there is a problem with my sound device.  After 
quitting Mac app, I had to restart WinXP to get sound to work.  Sound 
was a little choppy for streaming through the internet and when any 
other Mac app was active.  Definitely not suitable for an acceptable 
multimedia experience.
