Thanks!  This was very helpful.  It is a shame that Microsoft can't 
provide a better solution.

It doesn't work great, but it works.  There is a ~5 second lag after 
every click or keypress, the system sounds repeat 10-20 times, and there 
appears no way to access my development environment on localhost.  I set 
it up with 512MB ram out of 2GB installed ram.  I could not figure out 
how to turn on the paging file.

This will definitely help me fix the IE6 specific bugs that I was stuck 
on. Thanks again,

Ken
