I installed Vue XP 32 bit on my Sata C drive and XP Pro 64 bit on a pattion of C drive.
   I use external drives for storing all my poser runtimes and Vue collections.  this workd great in case need to format my C drive partions.   Don't loose all my poser and Vue collections this way.
  I have my DVD-Rom and DVD_Burner on ide as master and slave.

Do let us know what you find for your problem.  May come in good at a later date.   I was able to use same actavation for 64 bit Vue as I did for 32 bit. :)  Both running on same computer but different partions. :)
