The Windows 7 VM I've been using to run MCP Express hasn't stopped working, but it recently started telling me I need to register to regain full functionality. I haven't figured out what functionality has been limited yet. Its desktop now has a black background with "Unregistered Version" in the lower right hand corner. Has anyone managed to get MCP Express running with Wine on Linux? I've heard of people getting OS/2200 Express running under Wine, but it doesn't have the Windows services MCP Express does. I might consider registering a copy of Windows to run under VirtualBox if Microsoft would stop trying to make the user interface look worse with each new version. I don't mind Windows 7, but newer versions look absolutely horrid. Even the new Office 365 on my Windows 7 PC at work looks terrible. -- Kevin http://www.RawFedDogs.net http://www.Lassie.xyz http://www.WacoAgilityGroup.org Bruceville, TX What's the definition of a legacy system?
