I have VPC 6 with win2000pro and i can't get the window to increase in size. Is there any trick around this? The maxed out window takes about 1/4 the area of my display and even in full screen mode all I get is the same sized screen centered with huge black borders around it.

nevermind i just figured it out by changing the native resolution in win2000.

btw this runs much much better than vpc xp.

ok here's another question. currently i cannot drag and drop files from windows over to the mac because for some reason the cursor will not leave the vpc environment unless i press the command key. this in turn deactivates the windows cursor and changes into the main mac finder cursor. however during this process the file that i'm trying to drag and drop becomes deactivated because of the cursor switch.

any ideas? it worked fine in vpc xp.

Are you running in fullscreen mode? Do you have the VPC extras installed?

Both full screen mode from VPC and drag and drop of files require installation of Additions, click on the puzzle piece at the bottom when in windowed mode.
