Hi there
Installing a new XP /VM works I get same screen as yours - but do have the key !!-- it's booting the old one which seems strange as it works on other builds !!! --

Anyway thanks for testing. I've got another copy of that VM from a backup data set -- I'll try that one. I want to see if my record cutting hardware still works on skippy -- have to have the XP VM as the drivers etc not available on VISTA/W7 etc.

cheers
jimbo

OK, my point was that this should not cause confusion for anyone that has used Windows say since Windows 7.

But both of those names have numbers in them. I do not understand what you mean. If you say A18U without numbers then you call the update AU? Who but you even understands that AU means version 1803?

Yes, you're right, I meant that I don't use 1803 or 1809, among other things because when you say 1809, you have to specify the build, because the current build in the fast ring is also version 1809.

Since the dawn of time, trying to put significance to numbers has always failed. Numbers are only characters like A and T and X. When used numerically, it is math. Otherwise, it's words.
