You must have some very expensive hardware. I'm running VirtualBox VMs on my laptop; which has a Windows 7 OS and two of those VM are different versions of Windows. The problem I have with my VM on my laptop is that when I'm away from the external drives I have the virtual disks stored on they don't work; but that is a seldom occurrence. -- Earnie -- https://sites.google.com/site/earnieboyd -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
