Hi all,
Are there any "watchout fors" with running two XP OS's on a single PC?
I currently run XP.
And also 98SE that is barebones for games and sims. NO AV, minimal startup.
I wnat to run a Games/Sims XP which is also minmal other processes, services
,etc.
However, when I peek at optimisation sites for hints and tips, look at The
Ultimate Troubleshooter to decide what to stop/disbale, etc, and also try
FSAutostart (FlightSim based proggie that allows processes./servuces to be
stoped or stopped and restarted afterwards,)it all seems to hard.
Not too hard to do, but to hard to manage options as I install new software,
etc.
I'd prefer a lean XP for sims and games, and also recording from T Out to my
DVD Recorder.
How Do I go about installing a 2nd XP?
Cheers and thanks to all who read and add their input.
Tony
