Is there any other programs other than Virtual PC and GuestPC for the mac to get the windows program running. I don't have an Intel so i cant install Boot Camp. Or is there a way to install the new intel on an older G5?

There are other solutions, but none of them are going to be better than the 2 you mentioned.

No, you can't install an intel chip into a G5 based mac, they are 2 completely different architectures.

You'll either have to live with VP7 or upgrade to an intel based mac.
