Thanks to Wolf and others for their input.
It sounds like a 50/50 proposition. Some people have reported no
problems and others have never been able to make it work.
It does not sound like running WL in a virtual machine is an answer. No
one responded that was doing that. I thought that could clear up a lot
of the issues. But not sure since there were no responses regarding VM use.
At this point I am leaning toward getting good old reliable XP. I know
from my use of WL and XP that is just works.
I would still like to hear from anyone that is running WL under vista
with an XP Virtual Machine. If that works, I would put Vista back more
in the running.
Thanks again es 73, John K0TG
