Hello I'm new. I installed NT4 in Virtual PC. It's very very fast. I mean no time waiting for anything. I don't need version 7. That's how fast it is. My problem now is that it has Internet Explorer 2 which can't browse any sites. Where can I find old software from NT4s days to install on this? Most software before XP will run but I don't know where to find them. Is that last IE I can install version 5? What about Windows Media Player?

Here's the situation. To install IE6 I need service pack 6 installed. I have sp5. To install sp6 I need IE3 installed. I can't find IE3 or anything later!

Thanx. I found a standalone sp6 setup and it worked. Now IE6 is downloading and installing.

Um,

WHY would you want to run iTunes from within Virtual PC?

To play around with it I'm looking for Quake now. I want to see if it can play.
