Just caught this thread. Can confirm the same findings and solution, which I arrived at independently a week or so ago. Hiding solves the problem. (G4 Powerbook 800, 512 Ram, OS 10.1.5).

On another topic: I've been trying to get Virtual PC installed. The VPC DOS 2000 works fine, but whenever I try to download one of the various disc images of VPC Windows XP, 2000 or 98, the disc images either don't mount or mount but won't copy to the hard drive (disc copy error 36). Any suggestions? Can I just use a regular Windows OS install disc or do I have to use the VPC version? And why can't I get the files to mount. I don't have this problem with other Limewire downloads.
