Hi Ilya!

I took your advice from another thread and dived into the world of virtual PC. 7 64bit is the host system,
and Windows XP 32 bit is the guest system.

If I set up 7 and XP to see each other and communicate with each other, and install DefenseWall on the XP, will it watch over both systems? Can they be tweaked to accomplish that successfully?

Sorry, I don't understand the question.

That's okay. Give me a day or two to try it out, and I'll let you k now.

Thanks!

I think I understand your questions. You have Win 7 installed as the resident base system on the pc. Install Virtual PC and install XP as a virtual OS. Even if you get both systems to communicate with each other just like if they were two systems over a peer to peer network, Defense Wall is installed and will only protect on the system it resides on.

If what you were saying were true, I could have DW on one of my four pc's on the network and protect the other three. It will not work in my opinion.

Again, only if I understand what you are trying to do.

yeah that's what I'm saying. But I'm not thinking of the virtual drive as a network drive, but an internal secondary drive- a "D" drive if you will. DW would protect a second drive. I'm curious if a virtual drive could be made to act like a secondary drive.

By the way, I dumped Windows Virtual machine and I'm using Oracle Virtual Box. It seems to be more configurable.
