So with the dual boot I do wonder if Jack is trying to run programs installed under one O/S under another O/S? I dual boot WinXP with Win7 and use FlightSim 2004 under both. But I don't run Win7 then access the exe for FlightSim I installed under WinXP for example.	Sweep (90)
777003	2009-05-27 02:34:00	But I don't run Win7 then access the exe for FlightSim I installed under WinXP for example. Neither do I ! I installed two copies of FSX. One under each o/s. But when I shut down program files are put in wrong version. Anyway I have that sorted now.Deleted XP and run only 7 64 bit with no problems. And I still think dual booting is stupid and not worth the effort.	JJJJJ (528)

Some people dual boot for a reason which seems to escape you. Driver issues come to mind for example. A person I know has a flatbed (very expensive) scanner which worked under Win98SE and he wanted to upgrade to WinXP and he did not want to buy a new scanner. No drivers available for the scanner under WinXP even now but it still works on his dual boot system.	Sweep (90)
777006	2009-05-27 11:19:00	I had another thought there Jack. Maybe you set up a DUEL boot system rather than a DUAL boot system! Duel means something different to dual as in two separate installations. Two operating systems on one partition is a recipe for failure for example.	Sweep (90)
