[ale] vmware and W2K v. WXP

[James P. Kinney III]

I would almost put money on the problem being the permission structure
on XP. Unless vmware was _built_ for XP, you will probably need to give
the user full administrator rights in order to directly access the
hardware layer. 

Trashing XP is a juicy idea, though.

Why not put Linux on as the main OS and run Vmware to guest in the XP?
It's a sneaky way to start a migration, but it will solve the problem.
