Publisher's description
From Infamus Software :Emulating a Windows PC on a Mac stresses every system resource, making large amounts of RAM and processor cycles required commodities. Until VPC Helper came along, freeing up RAM and processor speed for Virtual PC was tedious, time-consuming, and irritating. VPC Helper offers tried-and-true methods of freeing up resources for maximum Virtual PC performance. VPC Helper is perfect for older PowerMacs, G3s, and even G4 systems and is compatible with every version of Virtual PC, including the latest 4.0!
VPC Helper 3.0 offers several features... VPC Helper will quickly prepare your Mac for Virtual PC use and allow one-click configuration and return. VPC Helper will set your Virtual Memory and disk cache settings (Mac OS 9 recommended for this feature), set extension/control panel startup sets, set startup disks, quit the Finder, quit 'hidden' background apps and processes, control File Sharing and desktop settings, and restart your Mac (if needed) in direct preparation for maximum Virtual PC use! And VPC Helper quickly configures and reconfigures settings with a click of the button! VPC Helper also does something no other method can do... It can relaunch those closed background apps after you are finished with Virtual PC with no restart needed!
What's new in this version:
- Improved reliability with VPC 4.0 and OS 9.1
- Added ability to directly interact with Apple's Extensions Manager
- Added options for File Sharing and Desktop Picture on/off
- Improved the user interface
- Improved coding and speed
- Several minor bug fixes and feature improvements
