This bootleg was originally created in a Virtual PC 2007 VM, meaning if you install it on there you will need Virtual PC Additions. If you install it on VMware, you will need to install VMware Tools. For VirtualBox users you will need SciTech Display Doctor/SoftGPU.
Because it is restored via Norton Ghost, there is no installation process.
