>>how can I run the apps on scsita without an OS on scsita? Is this the option your refering to?
If by scsita you mean a scsi hard drive, uh, why could you
not run the aps there? I suspect a reason in your case;
you installed them while running an OS located on scsita.
If that guess is correct, the answer's simple. Reinstall
them to the same location(s) on scsita while running the
other os you'd like to run them from. The result of that
will be that the registries in both OSs will reflect the
install to the same location.
IF these aps update the registry and/or ini files in
the Windows directory, you're two os's will get out of
synch. That's exactly why running the same app from
multiple OSs makes a mad man under the bleachers with
a sharp stick feel like your buddy by comparison.
As Sean would put it (I know, I've heard him say it),
no REAL os pulls this kind of crap on it's users. Only
Windows.
In truth, though, windows applications developers
could avoid this if they took the trouble, it's all part
of what professional software developers call the "selfish
culture" of the windows environment and the apps that run
there: Every one of them believe they own you and your machine,
that it only exists so you can run THEIR ap, and anything they
do to it is just ducky.
Microsoft apps are among the
most egregious offenders, but They Are Not Alone. I will
spare you my personal catalog of prime miscreants, but I
assure you it is long and contains many (most) industry
software leaders.
That's why swapping OSs back and forth becomes too painful to
maintain.
