Failed Windows Standalone

[Joe Lewis Wilkins]

Thanks for the info, Jacque. I didn't have a CD involved in any way.  
I don't have my two computers networked (security - one for the  
internet and the other for real work - smile), so I go between them  
with a firewire hard drive that I can hot connect/disconnect. But  
there may be something to what you've said and I'll have to think  
over it. I'm running windows XP under Virtual PC 6, so I don't know  
exactly how all of this is relevant. I've run a number of programs,  
some from CDs too, without any problems in the past. If/when I solve  
this I'll let everyone know the why and wherefore.
