[AccessD] Error trying to install MzTools

I run 32-bit Office in a 64-bit system. The main reason I chose 64-bit was
for SQL Server. If I had a 32-bit version of Windows 7 I'd install it, but
sadly I don't. Maybe I'll buy one (I notice that Win7 is deeply discounted
lately) and set up a dual boot instead.

I'm beginning to think that I should just get a box for each OS I want to
run. In the case of the two Linux VMs I run currently, a sufficient box for
each of them is about $120 lately. Linux is just fine with a mere 2GB of
RAM.

Speaking of multiple boxes, what are those devices called that enable a
single monitor and mouse and keyboard to work with multiple machines? You
just turn a dial to switch from Box 1... Box 4.
