Thanks Nick, I'm installing Virtual PC from a FreeDos ISO and all works just as you describe. I have a virtual C: drive and a virtual A: drive, HOWEVER. When faced with : "Format C:\" my fist froze. Tried to hit "Enter" and my paralysed finger quivered, but wouldn't do it. No matter how I told my fingers that this wasn't the *real* C-drive they just went on strike. I am therefore very encouraged by your success. Perhaps I'll try again after a few stiff drinks. :-) John W. ----- Original Message ----- From: <nick.grasso@nasrecruitment.com> To: "Fractint and General Fractals Discussion" <fractint@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Monday, July 24, 2006 2:05 PM Subject: [Fractint] Running Fractint in Microsoft Virtual PC
Dear Fractinters,
Here is my mini-tutorial on installing Virtual PC on Windows XP to run Fractint. This really isn't very difficult to set up. The only hard part is remembering how to install DOS after all these years. Once you have it set up, running Fractint is easy. However, there is one big caveat: Fractint will run much slower than on native DOS.
