1. I want to copy a file and always get a syntax error. Is there solution?

copy %systemdrive%\install\readme.txt %userprofile%\Desktop

2. After the installation of Virtual PC the PC shutdown after 1 minute

always. Error message: RPC remote procedure would terminated. Windows must shutdown PC. A virus cannot be it. The error is only on

if VPc was installed. After the Uninstall functions the PC works without problems. I have a 3Com NIC and a AVM ISDN card. Someone has an

idea?

I hope my English is not so terrible.

Try using the latest version of WMware workstation instead of Virtual PC. I find it easier and faster.

I want to copy a file and always get a syntax error. Is there solution?

copy %systemdrive%\install\readme.txt %userprofile%\Desktop

Try this instead:

copy %systemdrive%\install\readme.txt "%userprofile%\Desktop"

%userprofile% (in general) expands to "Documents and Settings", and the shell interprets this as 3 different arguments because of the spaces. Putting quotes around arguments with spaces in them usually fixes this sort of problem.

If Virtual PC is directly connected to the Internet, you're being exploited by the RPC flaw. You will need to apply the hotfix to fix the RPC flaw before being connected to the Internet. Using Svcpack is the best way to accomplish this.
