VMWare

Hmmm, I will have to try the Virtual Machine. I haven't used one since OS/2. IBM did a great job at that and it was included in the OS (So much for MS and Windows).

visualAd,

I am looking at the VM Player. Is there another package that creates the VM Machines?

VM Workstation makes the machines. Can't have both on one computer, though.

Yes, vmware workstation does. You can downlaod a 30 day trial, but it costs if you want it permanantly.

Thanks, I missed that on the site.

visualAd,

Is there anything I need to know about it BEFORE I install it.

Yes, vmware is an awsome application; and you'll wonder how you managed without it. ;) Very useful for software developers.

OK, I attempted to install it and found that I have to uninstall the VM Player first.

visualAd,

I attempted to install Windows 98 in VM and am having problems. It won't take. It keeps asking for the 98 CD even when it's in the drive. Win2K is installing fine (so far). What can be the problem. I am installing on a Compaq Laptop.

Here are some guidelines from vmware on installing windows 98 (thanks nebulom :)). I will have a go later and let you know how I get on too.
