As we speak, I am attempting to create a New Virtual Machine using Windows Virtual PC within the Windows 7 Environment. I will detail my success, if indeed I am successful. My plan is to install Windows 95 on a Virtual Machine and run older programs. At the moment, I am desperately wanting to play Myst Masterpiece Edition. I found it, mint condition, at a local thrift store for $2. If this succeeds, I will pass on the information because I know there are a ton of people who want to know how to do something like this.
