I do not see VMPlayer, just VM Player Plus... not free. $99.99. Typical, 1 penny shy of a C-note. No can do, blew my budget for software until after tax time. Waaaaaaaaa.

I downloaded Vmware Player and had all three up in no time. Runs like a spotted dog and doesn't mind what hardware I'm using. I've got a Dell XPS8300. Recommend you give VMware Player a whirl. Free.

I am surprised that was not a factor for you since you seem to keep your hardware a long time. Are you planning to upgrade SSDs more regularly? I have recently begun experimenting with VirtualBox by Oracle ... I cannot add a single one of my DELL drivers to the Win-7-64 OS I downloaded and installed from MSDN. DELL won't support me. Oracle won't support me, and MS won't support me. Talk about 3rd party hell. BTW I saw another super cheap buy in the link you sent, the WD USB 3.0 drive... I just can't remember if it was 2 Seagates that started clicking/clucking and then became unreadable, within 2 months of one another and about a year after I bought them (just out of warranty) with Geek Squad taking them apart and could not get any information off them... or WD. Until I can remember (*IF* I can remember) I will not buy another USB drive from either of them lol. How's that for consumer lunacy. -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
