0 Shifty Posted July 30, 2002 Author Share Posted July 30, 2002 thanks!! thats exactly what i was looking for!! im assuming that when your run another OS while in another, that you can have full funtionality with the OS that is loaded after the main OS. sorry that sounded confusing, but it made sense in my head!!

0 lazydesert Posted July 30, 2002 Share Posted July 30, 2002 you can run an OS in a 800x600 window if you want.. then you can easily switch between the two OS's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
