i dont know whether my post would be of any help or not, however just to share:

having been burnt by AS many times before (since WinCE 1.1); i do manage to have a STERILIZED environment for the desktop-counterpart of my Ax (and anything before)...

to explain, i use VMware (i know, it is about U$200...), and i created a Win 2K Pro (an OEM license from my previous DIY PCs) 5GB virtual machine. in this setup, i install my AS (currently in 3.8), and any other apps required by the handheld...

and since it is a virtual machine, i am "virtually" insulated from software upgrades, etc. (my present host machine is a WinXP Pro SP2 notebook) - at least guaranteeing me a stable environment (hopefully so when VISTA arrives)...

and since it is only about 5GB in size, it is quite easy to make a duplicate copy (COPY and PASTE) before installing any new apps - and thus being able to rollback if ever necessary...

any thoughts???
