On another note, if anyone has Windows7 home edition there is an alternative to buying PRO or Ultimate to get the "Virtual PC" and this is FREE from Sun Oracle, I run XP and use this to run Win7 in the virtual box, so visa versa for now...

Spinny,
Have you ever used the virtual machine before? My test upload seems to be working, but you can't share files. So I am having trouble figuring out how to get my clients files on the new desktop. I can't figure out, which folder's I am supposed to transfer my CCSC files to? The virtual machine doesn't allow me to open them from one desktop to another.

I think the virtual machine is the answer, now its just figuring out how to use it.

Spinny 2,

I finished the test upload and it did not work. It did not crash either, it just could not locate my server. So I am not sure where the upload went, but it wasn't my site.

Here is the error message I get on 7 when I try to upload "shoppi~1.exe stopped working". Are you familiar with that code? I sent this error message to support, but they never responded to the code.

Eric,

I've installed and run the virtual PC and done a couple of basic things on it, but thus far haven't needed it. Have you checked from inside the virtual XP machine to see whether you have net? You might need to set up the network separately since it acts like a separate machine. So far as I know you treat it like a completely new install of XP, starting from scratch. I never tried passing data between them, but worst case I'd just use a thumb drive or burn a DVD or something if it's a problem. You should be able to access that from both. I'd be surprised if there weren't some way to communicate directly between the two machines, though, maybe Microsoft's knowledge base or tech forums explain how to do it. Google might be of help, too.

Not familiar with that code, sorry.

Thanks for all your help. I can access the internet from within the virtual machine. I think you probably can share files, because I can open SC files from within the machine, but nothing appears in the SC. Its quite strange. I will have to visit the knowledge base to learn more, but thus far you have been very helpful. Thank you very much.
