Hi Elaine, Since you are running Professional... what you will need to do is download the emulator from the Windows site. Here is the webpage that you need to go to... http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx You will need to know whether it is a 32-bit or 64-bit system. If I ventured to guess, it is probably a 64-bit system. In order to get this information, left-click on the Start button (Circle with the Windows Logo in it) in the lower left corner of your screen... then right-click on the word "computer" that is on the right side of the panel that pops up... a window will open up that says "View basic computer information"... about mid-page it says "System Type" and it will tell you whether it is 32-bit or 64-bit. It is very important that you know this information because the software will not run if you mismatch it... follow the rest of the prompts through the download etc... unfortunately, this is where I must admit, I have no other knowledge of this process, I am still only running windows home premium and don't have the option to run the emulator. So I must say good luck... I will still say though, if you have any questions, feel free to send them my way and if I can answer them I will...
Eric p.s. Sorry Cheri, I know this is completely off topic for the board.
