VM additions in dos VPC - not working

Having installed Virt pc on trial, dos 6.22 win3.11 I find the CPU is 100%
and the application hangs, pity as it does what I want in 3.11. Anyway some
threads suggest SP1 or VM additions (is VM additions within SP1?) so I try to
install SP1 - it wont proceed, as the pop up box says as there is another VPC
install cant go ahead, please remove VPC and start again. So I try and then
it says cant install SP1 as there is no VPC on the computer. Where do I go
from here?

Please note I can’t find DOS drivers for my laptop CD so do I have to add
via host OS.

PS - I am wasting my time and is VPC not really capable of DOS?

 

First, the trial of VPC includes SP1. And its not possible to update
the trial with a full version updater.

Its not VPC, but DOS. DOS has no CPU halt instruction, to let VPC
know that its not using the CPU so utilization peaks to 100%. This
will occur with a Win9x OS too, without the VM Additions.

To get around this, run the idle.com TSR include with the DOS
Additions.

What application hangs? It may have some kind of hardware dependency
that is not compatible with VPC.
