Hi James, Many thanks for your report on VirtualBox. I have finished my installation and am glad to report all is working wonderfully well. For good measure I downloaded AVG-free edition which installed without any problems and was able to update the virus definition files. I must admit that it is working so well that I will not have any need purchasing VM Ware which I was thinking about. Kind regards, Philippe C
