Anyone use Virtual PC 6? If so, I have had this continuous problem of it not recognizing Windows ME. How prey-tell does one get windows to actually load? It recognizes the CD, which shows up on the bottom left hand corner of the mock PC window but that 's about it.

Try restarting the drive image TWICE, on the 2nd time, the OS should then start install.

I would really recommend not using Windows ME. It's not only the worst but the slowest version of Windows ever made and VPC really needs a really fast Mac to run well along with a good copy of Windows. You should use Windows 2000 Professional. Even on slower Macs it runs with very acceptable performance.
