Can 32 and 64 bit operating systems reside and run on same machine? Yes, it's possible, but I'll refrain from trying to tell you how, since I have no experience doing it myself. I guess I'm somewhat unusual, but I've never had more than one operating system installed on a single machine, and I think doing so is most often a mistake. Why do you want to do this? -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP - Windows Desktop Experience Please Reply to the Newsgroup

Yes it can be done providing the Virtual machine you use supports 64 bit
operating systems. Don't get carried away, though. You're not going to see Aero running on the VM so your operating system will be just basic to say the least. VPC 2007 also doesn't support USB so if you need any USB devices they too are not going to work. Personally I prefer VMware Workstation but, sadly, this is somewhat expensive. Take a look at my guide to creating a virtual machine with VMware on my website: http://vistasupport.mvps.org/creatin...ith_vmware.htm The procedure is pretty similar for most VM software -- -- John Barnett MVP Windows XP Associate Expert Windows Desktop Experience Web: http://xphelpandsupport.mvps.org Web: http://vistasupport.mvps.org Web: http://www.silversurfer-guide.com The information in this mail/post is supplied "as is".
