> Paul Buckley Hi Paul, You might consider running a 32bit version of windows 7 in a virtual machine. VMWare has a free product, VM-Player, that might be enough, but if you need networking tweaks, VMWorkstation is a better choice. There is a 30 day trial available (I think), and costs ~$200. You will also need a license for the second windows os. In addition to the convenience of having both OSs on one machine, you can take snapshots of the state of a virtual machine, and regress / progress though those states for testing and trouble shooting. Not just linear, but tree fashion. I use this feature *a lot*. Imagine stepping forward/backward/sideways with whole databases/applications in different states. You can also close down the whole shebang "as is" (suspended) and come back to where you were the next day. You may also network the VM with each other, and/or, "real" computers. It's just very handy. If you ever want a duplicate machine on a different computer, it's as easy as installing VMPlayer there and copying a directory (the VM), regardless of how much is installed (be careful of licensing). The only issue I've had is running anything like a compiler. I never did chase down the actual cause -- may have been me since I didn't see any related posts. So if that's an issue, trialing is definitely called for. Ben
