Ive found Vmware but im not sure which one it is? Could it be Vmware Player

You would need VMWare Server, if you just use the player it won't let you create a virtual machine, just play it. Both are free from www.vmware.com

Oh right i get it

Just downloading it now Cheers

You might be better off with Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 Beta. It's also free, and compatible with Vista. I don't think VMWare is yet.

VMWare runs Vista just fine thanks, save for that annoying BSOD on shutdown problem with RC2.

Runs Vista or runs in Vista? Because the latter is what the OP needs.

Ah, good point. I haven't tried it that way around. In that case, the advice about MS Virtual PC seems sound.
