Hello, if you want a free virtualisation product that runs under XP home (I assume it's XP, but Vista works as well I think), you can use VMWare server. Contrary to the name "server" it also runs fine under XP (home or professional), even though I think it gives a warning during installation. Personally, when I want a Windows system for just 1-2 specific applications I use Windows 2000 as a (virtual) guest system, which uses less resources than XP and doesn't have an activation mechanism... Kind regards Thomas
