I know this isn't exactly a "supported" scenario, but we're running Windows XP inside the Virtual PC emulator on the Mac, and Nightmist crashes on lauch. The installer seems to work fine, and the auto-updater is able to start downloading something before it also crashes. Are there any funny low-level operations that Nightmist does that could cause trouble in an emulator? Any other suggestions related to generic crashing-on-startup? We've tried most of the compatibility modes, just for good measure...

Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks.

get any error messages?

Only the standard "Encountered a problem, need to close, send an error report to microsoft?" I'm used to debugging in Mac & Linux where I can actually get a list of the last functions called, but the error report doesn't seem to be as helpful as that. Anyway, I'll try to "acquire" a windows 98 disk image and see if it'll run there.

Once again, any suggestions welcome.
