    Any way to use the CD Workshsop Manual in Win 8?

    Does anybody know a way to use the CD Workshop Manual when running Windows 8?
    Would it run if you installed it using Hyper-V?
    Thanks in advance for any ideas.

    There's also the question of if having that version of the manual is at all useful... The PDF version that's been circulating is different, but seems to be sufficient for most tasks...

    Otherwise, I second the VirtualBox plan. You might need a Windows XP or Win3.11 install disk to get going. You might even be able to find a pre-baked image that will boot right up...

    Yah, I'll still make DVD copies of my collection of Maintenance Stuff (including the pdf manual) if anyone is interested. I just ask that you make an extra site donation (vehimently requested but not required) & PM me your mailing addy. I'll get a copy out to you ASAP.
