I hate to ask this, because I think running Windows on VirtualPC is so incredibly lame, but I have to. I need to test an app on windows, and I'm not going to dig my PC out of the darkness of the back of the closet. I don't know what might be living back there...

Anywho, I bought a copy of Virtual PC 6, and found my Windows XP Pro cd. upon install, I get this error: "File \i386\hal.dll could not be loaded. The error code is 4"

Did some searching and couldn't find anything useful. Any ideas? The computer is a dual g4, running Tiger. I probably should have sprung for VP7, but it was all they had at Best Buy.

I have VP 6. I haven't used it much... I doubt it does you much good 2,500 miles away, but if there's a suspect file you need me to pull off and send to you, let me know. Most DVD rental places have 'disk repair' machines, and that's probably your best first stop.
