well I have a 4gb box with win7 32 bit right now.
so if I give something like 1.5 to say an xp vm then it should be ok,
xp has run on 512 mb its a joke but it runs.
I have xp running on 1 gb this current box does 2gb ram but 1.5 is probably ok.

I can see some updates of xp not being very fast in a VM. You have
to remember that when running a VM the original op along with the VM
and second op are running. So you have 2 ops running with a
connected interface translating. With out a lot of ram to offset
this it is possible to see conflicts in operation on the VM.
However, running that op as a stand alone op on the box will not run
the same as it does in a VM. upgrades not only fixes bugs and holes.
But also replace bad code with good code and if not left to get
these upgrades can make very many bugs to deal with on latter ops.
There is a reason you can not buy VB6 anymore and that is because
they have made it better. I would also state that it is probably not
able to be installed on win7 and up for dropped dependency and libs.
which would make it less likely to be used. Moving up may be ruff,
but is worth it in the long run from headaches, and there are going
to be many more.
Microsoft just sent out email on win 8.1 as free upgrade for win8.
And yes, they changed a lot in how it runs.

Hi Thomas,
Yes, when I bought my game development computer I was still running
a dos computer for Email and the Internet. Then when it went bad I
bought a new Windows computer to do Email and the Internet on.
My game development computer also has an external USB Triple Talk
hardware synthesizer. It frees up the system resources that
Eloquence would take. Which is probably good when working in the
VB6 IDE. Even though I have worked in VB6 on the Internet computer
with Eloquence. But heck I still have an Accent stand alone
hardware synthesizer. It just is not as responsive with JFW as it
was with JFD.
I guess the hard thing is knowing if the newest really might be the
best, or if it is just hype from the company trying to sell
it. Interesting though that you found out that the third service
pack for your virtual XP really was not good.
I have not yet worked with the SHGetFolderPath function. I plan to
see if I can get it all working though.
BFN
