Hmmmmm .... Could well have been pilot error on my end, certainly 
wouldn't be the 1st time :-/. I *think* I took all defaults except for 
HDD size & amount of RAM assigned, but nothing else. I posted some 
questions back in that time frame (Fall 2014), but no resolution. I'll 
look at it again, it would be *sweet* if it would work fairly seamlessly 
w/ 32-bit WinXP, 64-bit Win7, maybe some 64-SuSE LTS ....
