No, not really. Sadly. Anyway, it's irrelevant, as the OP has now clarified that he is running in a VMware ESX environment, so that would be the host. >> [c] Using the XP Mode VM, which is freely downloadable from MS, you do >> not need to install and customise it. >> > 64 bit host OS = 64 Bit XP Mode VM. (AFAIK) What? No, not even slightly true in any case whatsoever. XP Mode is a pre-installed VM image of XP Pro 32-bit, registered and activated against the virtual hardware of MS Virtual PC 2007. Since its entire purpose is to run XP apps which will not work on Win7 in a VM under Win7, it would be pointless if it was not the maximally-compatible standard 32-bit XP. -- Liam Proven • Profile: http://lproven.livejournal.com/profile Email: [email protected] • GMail/G+/Twitter/Flickr/Facebook: lproven MSN: [email protected] • Skype/AIM/Yahoo/LinkedIn: liamproven Cell/Mobiles: +44 7939-087884 (UK) • +420 702 829 053 (ČR)
