Thank you for your suggestion, but this solution would not work in my case because the computer in question is owned by my company, and although I am authorized to use the computer for personal study purposes in my spare time, I am not authorized to install a new operating system on a spare partition. There are no spare partitions currently available, and I have no virtual partitioning software on hand. Even if I could use such software, usage may be problematic if any new partition were detected by the IT department. -- Benjamin L. Russell -- Benjamin L.
