If you find that it's a dump/load process, you might want to look at a vmware installation. I used it about a year ago and it seemed to work fine for me. I think there is still an evaluation version which is good for 30 days. http://www.vmware.com/vmwarestore/newstore/wkst_eval_login.jsp Good luck, Brad. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
