Sounds like you are installing the Vmware/VirtualBox guest additions. They boost the performance of a Windows guest quite a bit.
I would use VirtualBox (not sure if its inside the OSE) with the seamless feature. That allows you to hide your running VM and only show the windows taskbar and IE. I think that to get a version of IE 5.5 you need to install Windows 2000 since those are the only which still support it.
