Newbie confusion on his side, most likely... Doesn't really know what he

I suspect he is running a cracked virtual machine inside virtual box. In
which case the term "cracked version" for the "VM" is somewhat correct.
Though I would say that the virtual machine is running a cracked guest
operating system image... But he gets the point across. What he is doing
isn't legitimate. :)

Yep. And he is posting all this on a somewhat public mailing list that
is archived. Convenient for lots of copyright enforcement people out
there. :DSheesh.....You can disable both in a normal installation of
Windows XP any way.....

Stumbling in the dark, yes... next to a very steep and high cliff...
