> I have a PowerBook G4 with MAC OS 10.5 and a PICKIT2 programmer and I
> am trying to put it to work with Virtual PC 7 with windows xp on.

> The PICKIT2 is a microchip programmer that is connected to the

> a intel PC it just need to be plug in and the program that comes with
> the microchip programmer will recognise it.

> I have installed all the software needed to run the microchip
> programmer on VPC, but I can¹t get the VPC to recognise the usb
> microchip programmer. The thing that is driving me insane is the fact
> that when I start the emulated PC with windows XP and than check for
> the usb setting of the VPC, the usb is enabled and it seems to
> recognise the microchip programmer, but if I close the setting window
> and run the microchip software it just won¹t recognise it and if I
> again go to the usb settings the usb is enabled but the microchip
> programmer is unchecked.

> I think that is something about the fact that, when I enable the usb

> Is there some thing that I could do to assure that VPC stays with the
