Have you considered win4lin for that need?  Not everything works under
it, but if your does the feeling of release is great.  You run your
windows app without having to re-boot.  You get the windows functionality
for that purpose, but with linux stability - and if it does go down, you
can exit without bringing down your whole workstation.

It's not free, but there's a money-back guarantee, I understand.

HI Anne,

Actually I have tried that and one of those 'things' that didn't work
was networking, and the accounting system software, which is why I was
trying it in the first place. :( I "was" rather hoping it would work
because I hate having to stop what I'm doing cause Winders has to crap.

Sorry to hear that - it's so good when it does work. I haven't really looked at the network problem at all - our lan is pretty light use except for the internet access. I avoid using that under windows because of the reduced security, so I haven't much info on what I can get going and what I can't with regard to networking.

As I understand it VMWare will do what I needed Win4Lin to do but at quite a bit more cost.
