change the startup disk setting in your Vista control panel. I keep mine set to OS X, then when I want to boot into Vista, I hold down the option key during startup, then click the Windows button.

He he, I find it strange that it defaults to Windows rather than OSX...

I have the same problem but I can't see how to change it in XP - there's a "Startup Disk" icon in Control Panel but when I double-click it I get the message "This software is not compatible with this computer"...

Kind of agree with you, a bit like putting diesel in your Ferrari :eek:

But until there's a decent personal finance package on OSX I need the help of Old Bill for running MS Money.
