VMWare Resolved!

Finally, I figured out how to install XP MCE with VMWare, it turns out I just can't follow poorly written instructions. I needed to re-insert Disc 1 after Disc 2 finishes installing. So now everything works but I still need to get AutoCAD and the U of M bookstore has sold out of them. I'll try the bookstore at Red River College tomorrow, hopefully they will sell it to me...Today's digital drawing class was an introductory class. Next week we will need AutoCAD installed on our laptops for class. They're actually going to teach us this time!
