Dan, I had no problem but I did upgrade to V8 VMWare full version just before loading it.

Hi, Dave How did you accomplish that? I tried twice, and didn't succeed. First I loaded the MS Virtual PC, but discovered that it can't run 64-bit OSes. So then I installed the VMware Player, but when I tried to install the Win 8 Preview it wanted me to pick the Windows version from a droplist, which needless to say did not include Win 8! I picked Win 7 (or something), but it said that was wrong. So I forgot the whole thing, did an image backup, and just installed the Preview over my Win 7. It runs OK, but most of my main apps are missing DLL's or registry entries or both. I'll play with it for a while and then test my Backup Restore function.
