Ok, I'll try again since the other thread I originally posted this in is now "closed."

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 also tried "Disaable" 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, ee after typing in the Product Key.

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.

Many problems are related to bad 3rd party RAM. Do you have Apple OEM or some other RAM. If so, remove the "other" RAM and reformat and reinstall. I would bet the system would work correctly then.

After clicking the "Fix" button, you have to restart your computer for the fix to take effect. Also, you should probably try repairing permissions for the entire system.
