Hey, I don't know anything about virtual OSs, I only heard about them recently and I think it could be the answer for me.

I like my old games, San Andreas particularly. (Shush, it's fun). The problem with it is that a few of the little programs I run behind it, (camerahack for example, gives you loads of camera options and a speedo), won't run on 64bit.

If I were to get a 32bit version of XP to run within my 64bit version of 7, how does it work? Is it like a window within 7 that behaves like any other program? Can I still get full screen stuff to work?

Just thought I'd ask before trying it, I have just done a fresh install of 7 and I'm being really careful with looking after it this time. Not found an awful lot on Google that I can understand either. :/
 
Hmmm I think I need to do a bit more research then, I'll only be wanting to run older games like that through it though.

It's not that important, I just fancy playing about. If it's going to be a load of hassle I won't bother.
 
Can you dual boot XP 32bit and 7 64 bit?

I knew about it, just didn't really considor it. :P
