I'm really wondering if my problems weren't related to the fact that 
I'd mapped two different folders on my Mac, plus the folders were on 
different drives.  Tonight I had a chance to play some more.  I was 
able to install two of the applications that I needed, and used them 
some without any issues.

I did find one thing that seems to seriously help my speed, I 
switched my theme to the "Classic" Windows theme, rather than the 
standard XP theme.  It seems far more responsive.

I still have a couple more apps to install, but at least tonights 
results were far more positive than on Saturday.
