Hello, yes I guess that might be the best solution too. I just listened to a podcast about vmware fusion (this is the first time i would be using a virtual machine), i guess you dont need to download the rea ldrivers for the mac you are using (the windows side of it) just the vmware tools and then it will work.

Hmmm, that is curious, I have not heard that Anouk and I'm not so sure that is a good idea in any event. Best to start with a fresh install of windows. If you install windows as a VM, you can certainly make a backup of that and just copy it over itself if something becomes hosed.

But, my windows xp installation on my pc also has audio and video drivers installed. Wont this be a problem because I suppose on the mac it would need different drivers? Also will it copy over other drivers I have installed on my pc like scanner and printer drivers?
