Hello all,I have often heard it is best to have windows installed twice on the same machine and to only install FS9 in one of the windows xp drives. I have managed to install two copies of Windows but what I would like to know is do I strip the windows where I am going to place FS9 bare of all background programs before or after I install FS9. I have heard that Blackviper's web page is a good place to find out what to strip out of windows. Just one last issue i would like to ask , is it safe to connect to the internet using Sqauwkbox etc without having anything other than FS9 in the windows xp drive where FS 9 will be put?I have a pentium 4 with a FX880T ATI card 880GB HD and 6 drives Thanks for any feedbackPaul

You can use FSAutoStart ;-)Also, on the XP for FS9, you need to run a firewall at least if you are connecting to the internet. Either the XP SP2 firewall, a third part like ZoneAlarm, or a firewall in a router. Otherwise you will probably get infected in about 10-15 minutes without having to do anything.I also highly recommend installing SP2. Others may disagree, but on the many machines I have installed it on I have yet to see a problem (this includes Dell laptops - I'm writing this post on one)
