My Uncle still uses WeatherMaster; a while ago he bought a new machine and I had to find the workaround for him. It's too bad the developer isn't around. :(
Thanks for the info. I got the XPMode working just fine actually. It was nice not having to set up the whole OS once the VM was set up. Does Virtual Box have such a setup by chance or do I need to go dig out my media and keys?
