Sorry I was not making sense, its one of those things where when you know what your trying to say it makes perfect sense, to anyone else. Gobbledegook!
I have an old XP install copied as a vanilla install to a CD, all I do is drag(copy) it over to my new machines then viola! I have a local copy on my vista 64 machine.
As for Open Glide yes, I juts used one of the emulators, I cant remember which, I had a look round, I think I went for one on Polovskis page, though it may be the one with the RD first aid kit I ended up using, it ran well, fast and in a very high res.
Sorry I cant be much more help, I have just upgraded to windows 7 and havent put it on yet and done need to right now as OFF is satifying my flying needs.
Let me know if you need any more help, not that I am much use
