What I know is that there maybe a conflict if you are using virtual
memory (or swap memory). Do be very careful when you are handling
modifications to the swap memory (as in your case installing another
setup). Also, if the swap memory gets corrupted, and you are unlucky,
you will find that your Windows can never run in protected mode anymore.
It happens to me and I had to call the company which I bought the
computer from to repair it. 

Anyway, what's wrong installing the beta version? Although you might
have a similar s/w installed before, you can still install the beta
version of the s/w on another directory.
