Hi Chris,
With all due respect, don't you think that having an emailing list for every single application is a bit excessive? One for virtual machines, another for Total Recorder and so on? I can understand having separate emailing lists for major blind products Jaws, WE, Talks etc but for every program is, imho, counter productive.
The Access list is reasonably low on traffic, doing a very good job, and discussing those different products on list is of benefit to everyone. I'll be damned if I have to join a list for each product I know of to learn about that particular product. 

Only my two pence worth.

Cheers,
Amro

Hi all,
why not join my blind virtual machines list, another great resource for all things virtualization for blind and visually impaired users. To join, send a blank message to b-v-m-subscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx JAWS users are certainly very welcome. 
Many thanks.

Darren,
If you have an XP installation disc or an Image file, (preferably an ISO). 
You can download Vmware Player.

Just google Vmware Player.
You then use this to create a new virtual machine. It'll pop up a wizard for you to select the installation options and configuration options. So you'll point/browse to your install media. it'll ask you for a user account name to be created, plus the licence code. You can then either accept the defaults for that type of machine, RAM, HD space to allocated etc or change 
them yourself.
The machine will then be created and the installer will run automated. Once 
complete you should hear the Windows startup sound.

You can alt tab away from this window during the install/config process.
Once it's completed and you've heard the Windows startup chimes you can pres 
ctrl c to pass keyboard/audio/visual focus into that Virtual Machine.
You're basically working at this point as if it was XP mode from an end-user stand point. Or to put it in other words an Operating System running from 
within your main Operating System.  So you'll think it's just XP you are
looking at.
Ctrl alt will put you back into the Host machine or main Operating System 
again.
NB. You'll hear all the sounds from your Host operating System while in the 
virtual machine.  So you're in XP Virtual machine and still hear people
signing in to Windows Live or whatever on your Host machine.
I don't have a tutorial on Vmware player step by step. However, if you want more info on this feel free to move it onto access-uk or BCAB and I'll be happy as I'm sure will others to help. As virtual Machines tutorials is too 
far beyond the focus of here.

Hope this helps.

Barry.
