I recently purchased a new iMac running Snow Leopard and was using Virtual PC 6.1.1 on a PowerMac G4. VPC won't run on new Mac so I called Parallels support to verify that I could convert VPC VM to Parallels and was assured that I could. When the program gets to the configuration stage it stalls on Step 1, for hours, and doesn't move. Can I convert VPC 6.1.1 to Desktop 6? Is there anything I can do to prepare VPC machine for conversion? If I can't, I am stuck with Parallels as Best Buy won't return opened software. PLEASE HELP!!

Cannot Configure Virtual PC VM

Problem Solved!!!
After spending almost 2 hours on the phone with Support, it was determined that Virtual PC had installed some tools - Virtual PC Additions - that needed to be uninstalled from the VM before being converted by Parallels Desktop. Once this was done, conversion and configuration went smoothly. I now have Windows XP running in coherence with all my files and programs running much faster than I would have ever imagined. So hats off to Parallels Support for their perseverance!!!
