I read in (microsoft.com) that VPC 7 doesn't work properly on tiger.
I downloaded a .toast image (i don't have toast (whatever) app) however I mounted the disk and it had a zip file.I double clicked the zip file the exctraction began then my laptop froze. I restarted the computer and I did this without running anything else and the computer froze.

does this incident has to do with the fact that vpc 7 doen't work properly on tiger or it has to do with some thing else.

in other words:
vpc 7 doesn't work properly on tiger = what i faced (computer freezes when extracting vpc 7 zip file)?

note:
i am considering the possibility that this rip sucks so it would be great if some one guided me to a torrent that connects me to a disk image of vpc 7 that works on tiger (not necessarly properly but at least works!)

please help

If you want a properly working copy of VPC 7, I suggest you go out and buy one.
BTW, VPC 7 works just fine on Tiger with the exception of virtual switch networking. Everything else works just fine for me.

Oh, by the way... next time you advertise pirating software off the torrents, perhaps you shouldn't post your real name and exactly where you can be found.

Oh yeah, and "in before the lock," "+1," and all that...

i thought the first post was funny stuff.

BZ · May 28, 2005, 07:00 AM

It doesn't work unless you actually buy a copy.

Nice to know if it is easy to steal, people will.

Hope stealing cars doesn't become too easy.

I wonder if this is just someone trying to get Nadir Almarzouki in a heap 'o trouble.

Because nobody could possibly be this stupid.

Wait a second... I just remembered a few election returns. I take that back.

almar008 · May 28, 2005, 10:44 AM

I am not an american citizen. I am not that familiar with the laws. I saw the torrent on a website that looks famous and has a short URL. I thought the torrent thing was legal. Now since I discovered that thing is illegal (thanks to you) I will purchase virtual PC 7 similar to what I did when I purchased tiger and I have the proof of my tiger legal purchase. I am not that cheap. When I want some thing I pay for it. In fact, I will buy it LEGALLY online as soon as I am done posting this.

Have you been living in a cave for the past few years ?

almar008 · May 28, 2005, 11:07 AM

if some one wants to get me in to trouble let him. I will get mybittorrent.com in to trouble. If that torrent thing was illegal and serious how come there is such obvious website. Try typing bittorrent in google and u'll see a tremendious numbers of websites that has vpc 7 disk images. If this thing is illegal how come it's so easy to get!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I misunderstood the torrent thing and thanks for notifying me.

I stopped it cuz i respect laws.

the only way that ur law can nail me is:

IF and IF and IF and IF and only IF I was associated with any terrorist activity what so ever. In that case the patroit act will put me in jail without giving me the right to hire a lawer. There won't be any need to prove to the law that i am guilty if the FBI or CIA or whatever approved it.

OTHERWISE:

the embassy of Saudi Arabia is backing me up. And if any company on earth including microsoft itself tries to nail me. The goverment of Saudi Arabia will nail the 10,000 dorm kids on our campus
who have harddrives filled with pirated software and pirated movies.

We are not that cheap. I don't have pirated movies on my harddisk . I simply have a membership with blockbuster and I have proof. I purchase original or legal software and I have proof. If they try to nail me. I will guide to the authority to the cheap Americans who don't spend a cent on movies and software. So don't i worry i am not stupid....IN FACT:

I am a RICH SMART PROUD SAUDI ARABIAN

SAUDI ARABIA = 70% of the oil in the globe

if u wanna put me in trouble be my guest....u might be the one who gets it cuz u won't be messin with me....u will be messin with the son of an important man in KSA and KSA government will back him up...kabeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh?????

Mr. Blur · May 28, 2005, 02:23 PM

So, if someone here makes a report about this person pirating software then America gets no more oil from the Saudi's???? Get over yourself.

Randman · May 28, 2005, 03:08 PM

Give him a break. He did say he was going out to buy a legal copy.

That said, where's the lock to this thread?

You have got to be kidding me.

almar008 · May 29, 2005, 11:33 AM

When I explode becuz of ur stupidness.

->You post "is this guy for real" and ur crappy posts.

when I decide that i shouldn't give ur dumb replies (the reply where that dude posted the pic of our crown prince and the rest of ur sarcastic useless replies) attention and i fix what i did by being diplomatic.

one of ur members reply:

this was funny...now he's a son of a goat farmer and buys music tapes?!!!!!!!!

respect and diplomacy and appology in america = funny

as i am livin here and i am learning more and more about u americans unforutantely ur dumbasses...up till now. Can't wait to join the advance CSCI courses to get to know the real smart civilized americans...I believe you call those geeks

no wonder the corporate ppl are sucking ur money americans...It's becuz ur stupid!!

not all americans of course but many are stupid i can tell from many of ur replies...and how the TV companies entertain u (american idol and the crappy reality shows and operah) I swear to god if those shows are broadcasted in our country only six year old kids or younger kids will watch them

u know i can respond to ur sarcasm and strech my muscles...and show off and piss u guys!

i can start with this:

1) we are richer and don't pay taxes to our government.

2) all saudis who have csci degrees find jobs automatically (no competition) because are industries need saudi IT specialists etc and there aren't enough. In other words our careers are garunteed. Not like u americans u worry when u want to apply for a job u work on ur resumes for months...when u begin the job interview ur heart beats go rapid and u almost piss in ur pants from the fear of messin up in the interview
in short:
PPL WITH CSCI DEGREES IN KSA WILL FIND JOBS AND THEIR INCOME WILL BE TRIPLE THE INCOME OF AN AMERICAN WHO WORKS IN THE SAME POSITION WITH A SIMILAR COMPANY IN THE STATES

3)not only we don't have to pay taxes of any sorts to our government. Almost every thing in KSA is cheaper than america. The gas, real estate, electricity and cell phone bills, etc.

4)Where ever we go in the world especially vegas and lebanon they will treat us as VIPs. If of course we accomodate in five star hotels and spend a little (nothing compared to the american rich dudes) they will treat us as if we are bill gates becuz they know we're saudis.
even though when i travel i don't spend that much but just becuz i am saudi they assume that i am a VIP and it feels great to be treated like a VIP (especially lebanon saudis are gods there).

5) The cases where married ppl cheat on their spouses are very very very very RARE in Saudi Arabia.
Becuz our girls are decent and loyal we don't have the boy friend girl friend thing. A man works
his ass to establish a career then when the time comes his mom and family finds him a perfect
match and boom he marries that women. He's the first man to touch her and nail her and she's the first women to surrender to him in bed. We don't have animal sex in KSA. We respect our women and our women respect them selves by covering their bodies and not being slutty and not sleepin around.

btw
animal sex = two ppl who have sex and who are not married to each other

only animals mate with each other without strong bonds!!! I can't understand how u filthy americans marry women who are not virgins!!!!!!

I don't buy nor drive used cars!!!! And americans expect me to marry a used women!!!!! It's not a germ infection paranoia. I am ok nailing used prostitutes but the woman i will i marry must be brand new just like my ibook when i bought it.

6)our government has a very very very strong relatioship with bush's administration. Check out the size of our embassy in fahrehheit 9/11.

who's the son of a goat farmer NOW mr.mac-a-ru (or whatever ur stinking name is)

lock this thread or delete me or whatever i am outta here u have thousands of members i believe this won't affect any thing i found more civilized mac forums and i am happy there

kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb bbeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh?

fahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaamt?

Chuckit · May 29, 2005, 11:44 AM

Lock, please? This is getting dumber than the War Lounge.

I thought this would have been locked sooner.

Anyway, this thread is now about cheerleaders while it's alive.

While attempting to install VPC 7 the error I get says:

An item in the Startup Items folder ("/Library/StartupItems/VirtualPCOSServices") does not have the proper security settings."

I clicked "FIX" and no help. I tried the Microsoft download: "VirtualPC702-1" supposed correction and still no help.

While reinstalling VPC 7 I get to the point where a screen comes up asking for my name, password, and Product Key, but the "Continue" button is not highlighted; it stays dimmed.

Background: Had a major poblem and reinstalled the original OS 10, still problems. Reformated the hard drive, and reinstalled Tiger. Am now at the point of reinstalling the rest of my software.

I'd sure appreciate if anyone has any ideas.

Chuckit · Aug 28, 2005, 11:24 PM

Whoa. I was just reading today that one of the Randman's cheerleader girls from back then (Natasha Lyonne) is in critical condition. That's somehow freaky to me.

Randman · Aug 29, 2005, 02:06 AM

Not my fault.™

The continue button is dimmed until you enter a correct serial number.

Wow, legendary thread in Applications? Awesome—this rarely happens.

How did this thread continue for so long without a lock?

Who knows..
