I have so far found this facility to be a tremendous add-on but I want to ask anyone who knows. Can I safely use Windows 7 while XP Mode is launched but minimized?

I hesitate in case there is any crossover I don't know about that might impact on one or the other's registry. :geek:

Manhunter is absolutely correct. You can safely use both OSes simultaneously.

That's not fair, I'm all of 6 months younger than you so I want one too!

A wink goes further the older you get, a smile lingers long after it is gone, and both together will warm the heart for a whole day.

My words, Mitch, not a quote, and heartfelt.

Best wishes,

Ed
