Hi Bill,

I've never actually tried this myself, but I remember one possible
gotcha is making sure you've installed the MOL audio driver.

In case you haven't done this, simply copy the MOL audio driver
(from the red MOL ball) to the System Folder, restart MOL, and
then use the Sound Control Panel to select MOL audio.

I'm fairly certain various people have successfully run VirtualPC
within MOL, but I don't know if anyone has run Windows XP this way.
