Look on the Microsoft web site for 'XP Mode', which downloads a complete co=
py of WinXP and runs it as a virtual machine. I have it on a Win7 machine, =
and it has done all I have required of it, running 16 bit apps on a machine=
 that otherwise would not allow them. It runs its own virtual C drive, and =
accesses the native OSes drives as network drives, including the CDROM driv=
e, and USB devices.
