I got virtualpc 6 but the problem is I did not get the additions. Is this something you buy separate? Where can I get it?

Thanks

the VPC Additions are drivers to make the Windows environment play nice with the mac environment. They are not at all necessary for VPC to run, but they add a nice level of integration.

They're included in the VPC app, read your manual that came with VPC 6 for installation directions.

In windowed mode click on the puzzle piece icon in the bottom menu bar of the VPC window and follow directions.

Either create shared folder/volumes to access Mac files in VPC or simply drag and drop files from Mac desktop into VPC desktop to copy. Stay in windowed mode, not full screen for that. Also, the additions must be active for it to work.

Hi,

I am having the same problems. I installed the additions in VPC 6.1 and it doesn't light up the little icon next to the printer and does not let me drag and drop. So, I downgraded to VPC 6.0 and installed an earlier version of the additions (after untinstalling the old one) and it still doesn't work. Any ideas? I need drag and drop!
