Re: VC not working!

GTA VC does not list Vista or Server 2003 as compatible OS's. Suggest you
run it under XP w/at least SP1. You can install Virtual PC under Vista, then
XP into it so that you have a compatible environment for the software.

Re: VC not working!

VPC will work on Vista Home Premium, it's just not "supported" by MS.
