Hey, Wase,

'Scuse me for answering so late. I'm doing a lot of "discovery" fooling around right not with my MacBook. Joined a Mac Forum and learned some things. Mine btw is OS 10.5, 2.4 GHz.

I'd installed Fusion from get go on the theory that I wanted to be able to run an XP VM if the need arose. No needs so far, but then I decided I wanted to try out Boot Camp and install XP as a dual boot, mainly to see if it really works. Well, I've had quite a lot of wheel spinning. I'm getting a "hal.dll" missing error message at the end of the install. Very common experience with newbie OSX users. Read a lot of posts and now suspect it could be because VMWare Fusion does something to the the HD, so un-installed Fusion with the uninstall app contained in the Fusion dmg install file. This seems to be the problem and the boot camp install of XP is near it's end now.

I bought this machine to travel with and don't want to be OTL at a critical time if I can't do something I want to do with it. Main travel to my daughter in Italy will need a lot of PC maintenance, updates and stuff.

I gave her a new ACER Ferrari on my last trip and I would guess it needs a lot of sprucing up.
