hey great videos, but i have one question, i am on vista, and the shortcut, when i double click brings up a DOS window, and then it vanishes, and nothing happens any ideas?
Might be because of your hardware, the downside to PearPC (over say, VMware) is that PearPC is full hardware emulation including processor emulation, where as most virtual machines will just use your physical processor, this makes PearPC a lot slower than most virtual machines, it can still run at reasonable speeds however if your hardware can handle it.
Yes, it is possible to do folder sharing to the virtual machine, first get the network connection working on the Mac (see my other videos for help on this), then enable file and printer sharing on your PC and file sharing under firewall on System Preferences on the Mac, then from the Finder click Go on the Menu Bar and type in the local address of your PC (the same number you put in to "router" field IIRC).
*gasp* The runtime 75 error! I get that every time and can't find any good answers anywhere. Do you know anything about it? Thanks.

right click then execute/open as admin
or get APE, I found it a little better to use

same answer, make your virtual RAM smaller. :)

Sorry, but APE is better.

that's really a matter of opinion, APE is a little bit easier to use but IIRC it doesn't have as many options for configuring it as PearPC does.

you've probably set your virtual RAM too high, try a little bit smaller number and see if it works then. :)

erm...I was wondering if it is possible to get the host pc to communicate with the pear without an internet connection for fast file transfer
please reply. Thanks
