Hi Norman, I run VirtualBox and have installed a working copy of WindowsXP. you can then install the windows application in the windows machine. You can either get it through the repositories; "sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose" or you can download it from www.virtualbox.org (better to go with the open source edition via the repositories) >From there it is pretty self explanatory and if I remember correctly the wizard is comprehensive. You will of course need a windows CD and CD-Key I have a video on my site of it running (http://www.ilovemylinux.com/node/25 - sorry, pimping my own website :-) ) --Michael _________________________________ Michael Fletcher Visit my website here - http://www.mgfletcher.com/blog Interested in Linux?
