Hi Nick, Thanks for all your suggestions. I know all that. In fact, we already have VMWARE installed since a long time on our Linux machines. Our master OS is Linux and we can run NT in a VMWARE window. That is where we develop and test the NT version. I could install also 95, 98, 2000, etc. We can do all that. I was only asking the Windows community for some help. We get many contributions from the Linux world, not so many from the NT community.
