• Problem with windows using vmware fusion

  I have a mac book pro and a part of it running windows 7 using vmware fusion. It worked great for 3 years and today I went to open the side windows and all I get is windows media player. Any button I go, medial player arrives. At Christmas, we received an e-mail that fedex was unable to deliver a package, and to download the shipping label to follow, it is phishing so could I have downloaded a virus? How to do this problem?

  Thank you

• VMWare Fusion pro 7.1.1 - blocking running yosemite as a guest problem

  Hi all

  I have a Yosemite pro running (mid-2014, 16 GB of ram video card w / discrete) MacBook. When I run a guest of yosemite, the video is very lag, and the virtual machine is generally not very handy.

  The guest has 4 cores, 4 GB ram, 256 MB of video memory (using the discrete card for 3D applications only) and implements the latest vmware tools 'material' and vmware. I disabled the sound and bluetooth.

  Is that what I can do to improve performance?

  Thank you!

  Yes.  Please check this blog for the manual workaround and a program called "BeamOff" that will provide relief without manual effort.  https://derflounder.WordPress.com/2014/12/13/improving-Yosemite-VM-performance-in-VMware-Fusion/

  I am not the author, and cannot vouch for the port version, however.  I downloaded the source, reviewed and updated on mine, just to be sure.  But it will fix the problem that you are experiencing.  (You need to run the application in the prompt, if it isn't obvious!)

• 10.10.2 OS problems install a DMG in VMWare Fusion

  Hello

  -J' use an iMac, 10.10.2 system

  -J' bought VMWare Fusion 7.1.1

  My goal is to be able to jump from my iMac (running OS 10.10.2 with VMWare Fusion installed) to a virtual machine Mac OS 10.7.5 (a carbon copy of my MacBookAir).

  So, I made a carbon copy of the operating system as a whole on my MacBookAir as a DISK IMAGE (dmg).
  

  Here are the steps I follow on VMWare, but it does not work. I would really appreciate the help. I have more resources.

  1. open VMWare Fusion.

  2 file / new (installation method)

  3. I Select the first option being "Install from a CD or disk image" (see fig. 1)

  4. I click on ""use another disk or a disk image " "

  5. I Select my dmg file.

  6 VMWare asked me to choose my of operation of the System (I do not know if I have to choose the operating system on my iMac running VMWare or the operating system on my disk Image... However I tried both)

  7. the result is the gray apple screen and then it blocks (see fig. 2).

  Can anyone help? I'm completely lost...

  Thank you very much.

  To answer why the steps you suggested do not work:

  When you create a new virtual machine, Fusion expects that you will provide an operating system installation media (a picture CD/DVD or other medium containing the installation of the operating system application), not an image of the hard drive containing the operating system already installed.  Bascially, you have deceived merger taking the image from your hard drive and attaching it to a virtual CD/DVD drive.  The core of the operating system will take care of such a 'disc', but the installed operating system is expected to be on a writeable medium, while the virtual CD/DVD drive is not reading / writing (at least not in the sense that the core of the OS X wait... Burners of CD/DVDs do not count), and the OS crashes instead of start normally.

  As far as I know, you have at least four options for moving forward:

  1. use your MBA to download the app to install OS X 10.7.  You can do this by going to The App Store on your MBA and option-click the purchases button and there you are looking for setup of OS X Lion.  Copy the resultant Installer OS X Lion.app to your iMac, and create the new virtual machine in Fusion, using this application as the installation media.  Then do 1 a or 1 b:

  1. during installation, you will be offered the opportunity to migrate files and settings from another computer... This facility allows to transfer your stuff in front of the MBA to the iMac.  This is by far the safest (and probably easiest) option.

  -or-

  1B. stop the virtual machine with the freshly installed OS.  In the virtual machine settings, add a new virtual hard disk.  Also join the .dmg "insert" backup in the virtual CD/DVD drive.  Turn on the virtual machine and install CCC and use it to restore the .dmg backup of the entire system on the new hard drive (empty).  Power off the virtual computer.  Remove the first hard drive and turn off the CD/DVD drive to "eject" the .dmg backup.  Cross your fingers and the power on the virtual machine.

  -or-

  2. P2V, as suggested by ChipMcK.  (I've never used these special tools).  Opinions differ as to if P2V in Mac OS X is a good idea from the point of view of stability and reliability.  I have not encountered any problems, but I very rarely P2V.

  -or-

  3 it should be possible (but not easy) to convert the .dmg you have a hard drive (hard) that you can attach to a virtual machine.  The procedure is not simple, and I don't think it's documented anywhere...  I'll try to put something together, if none of the previous solutions worked for you.

  See you soon,.

• problem with Boot Camp, VMware Fusion 3, ethernet does not (not driver)

  Hello guys,.

  I have Windows 7 Pro 64 bit installed in Boot Camp and I'm running as a virtual machine using VMware Fusion OSX 10.6.6 3.1.2.

  The problem I have is that the ethernet does not work under VMware, even with VMware Tools installed.  Device Manager shows no driver installed.

  I googled and found a lot of suggestions to add ethernet0.virtualDEV = "e1000" to the simultaneous file, but I looked and this line is already there.

  I tried reinstalling VMware, VMware Tools, the Boot Camp drivers, NIC Add/Remove VMware settings, change NAT to the deck and vice versa. Nothing works.

  Any suggestions?

  The CARD is an Intel PRO 1000 MT and uses the E1G6032E.sys driver that is located in the:

  C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\nete1g3e.inf_amd64_neutral_7f08406e40c6ede2

  You will need to copy the 3 files to a temporary folder or on the desktop to be able to access it from the device for a manual installation manager.

• Problems to install a downloaded version of Windows Vista Home Basic SP1 on my mac through VMWARE FUSION

  Hi all

  I hope you can help as I'm going crazy! It's my first MAC if im a complete noob.

  Me being lazy has decided to download Windows Vista Home Basic SP1 from https://emea.microsoftstore.com/UK/DesktopDefault.aspx/tabid-2/ site

  It contains 3 files which I had to download separately:

  Vista_HomeBasic_SP1_32bit_English_Download_Part1_66G - 02017.exe

  Boot.wim

  install.wim

  Once I had downloaded these. I pulled the top of VMWARE AU12EME 2 but could not detect anything. If I then wacked out on a memory stick and ran the .exe on my windows pc. This integrated then all the files I downloaded a good big folder of Vista.

  So once again I pulled up to VMWARE fusion 2.0 but still nothing. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I heard people talking that I need an ISO file? But I searched all files that I downloaded and installed, and there is nothing similar. The only thing I can think is that I need to burn the VISTA folder I extracted from my pc to DVD and try running disk on my Mac. But that would make a difference that I tried to run from my DESKTOP MAC key and memory? In addition, there is no ISO files.

  Please HELP I'm worried that I just lost my money!

  I did a little research, and it was one of the best hits on How to make Vista DVD bootable with WIM downloaded files that I think sums up your situation.

  Because I had the file oscdimg.exe since Install Kit automated (Windows AIK) I gave it a try and it worked.  In other words, by using the folder of Vista and its content that has been created by you run the files you downloaded you should be able to create a Bootable ISO Image, which you can then use to create a DVD, if you have the right software to burn an ISO Image on DVD.  (Maybe you could do this on the Mac) Although if you want to you have even burn the ISO Image to DVD just copy it on the Mac and assign it to the CD/DVD in the settings of Virtual Machines.

  Other documents you may find useful: Microsoft TechNet > TechNet Library > Windows > Windows Vista > Windows Vista technical library Roadmap > Windows Vista: deployment > Kit to install Windows Automated (Windows AIK) > Deployment Tools Technical Reference > Command - line Tools Technical Reference > Oscdimg command-line Options

  Just to let you know that it took me about 20 minutes to do a search on Google and create the ISO Image and the test that I could start a VM in the Fusion and if you need to download and install the Windows Automated Installation Kit (AIK) to get the oscdimg.exe file it obviously will take you a little longer, but it is doable and the solution vs safer trying to get the file oscdimg.exe or cdimage.exe from a link sent illegally into the file.

  In any case the information presented here can solve your problem of creating a Bootable Image DVD/ISO.

• Problem USB 3 VMWare Fusion with Windows 7

  I'm French, so, if you want an English version of this post, just tell me. Thank you.

  Hello

  I pour unwanted VMWare Fusion on Mac to run a VM Windows 7 64 bit.

  I have an external hard drive USB 3 in 1 I'd like to be able to connect on Windows this.

  Very soon a USB 32 GB USB 3 will also appear and will be connected on it.

  However, unable to connect to my HARD drive.

  So I tried to download this type driver, but impossible.

  I have a popup to launch the driver installation that tells me that I don't have the required configuration.

  I tried activate in the support of USB 3 VMWare Fusion settings, but nothing helped.

  You would possibly solutions? Or have I something homis chosen?

  Thank you for your.

  Geetix.

  NB: I have a Macbook Pro 13 "Retina mid-2014.

  In the virtual machine under USB & Bluetooth settings > advanced options USB > USB compatibility: set it to USB 2.0 and then if it connects properly workaround it connect it to a USB2.0 Port on the host computer or use a USB 2.0 Hub between it and the Mac.  Also, just using an extension USB cable 2.0 could stamp it down to also be used as a workaround.

• With leopard 10.6.8 running Windows XP on vmware fusion 3.0 NVIDIA problem

  Hi guys,.

  really impossible to install my NVIDIA graphics card, Windows XP with VMWare fusion.

  In the past it was ok, maybe it was the Snow Leopard update?

  Model ID: MacBook6, 1
  Processor name: Intel Core 2 Duo
  Processor speed: 2.26 GHz

  RAM: 4 GB

  I installed the bootcamp drivers

  I have re-installed VMWare tools

  Even the graphics card is not recognized, I can't install nvidia drivers (download them from the site Web of Nvidia again) and he is not able to play some video files widely.

  SH # "and I work with video and need to run some progs windows for it.

  Have you heard of this?

  Obrigado

  "In the past, it was ok.

  Huh?  The virtual machine will NEVER see the physical GPU to your host!  He will ALWAYS see the VMware SVGA II (or VMware SVGA 3D) video card.  You IMPOSSIBLE and WAS NEVER ABLE TO, install the video driver from your host on your comments.

• Major problems with VMWare Fusion 3.1.1

  I just installed the new version of VMWare Fusion 3.1.1 on my MacBook Pro (OS 10.5.8). What a DISASTER! When I allowed him to install the new version of VMWare Tools, it came with a series of warnings that various drivers (mouse, VMXNet, SVGA, etc.) could not be installed. After the required reboot, the PC (Windows XP) came about a 3 "X 4" format (minimum screen resolution) and it will connect is no longer on the network. I got my old version of VMWare (v3.1.0) of my Time Machine drive, but the 3.1.1 installation process has apparently changed other things deep in the bowels of the Mac OS and the v3.1.0 recovered would not go. Is there anywhere on the web that I can download a copy of the from VMWare Fusion 3.1.0 .dmg file so that I can use it to try to get back to where I started (my original drive has only version 3.0)? If someone has means of ideas let me know.

  You can download the versions up to published on VMWare support site: VMWare Fusion downloads. Click the link view history under downloads to view previous versions.

  Before running the installation, follow these steps:

  (1) start your virtual machine and remove tools from VMWare using Add / Remove programs.

  (2) to the VMWare Fusion 3.1.1 DMG run the program uninstall to remove VMWare Fusion. This will NOT delete your virtual machines.

  (3) restart your machine.

  (4) install VMWare Fusion 3.1.0

  (5) start your virtual machine and install the VMWare tools.

• VMware Fusion 3 Installing Applications problem

  Hello

  Whenever I try to install an application on my Windows XP through VMware fusion virtual machine, the installation fails. I tried to install Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007 and Microsoft Visual Studio 2008, failing both. I tried both the mounting ISOs and use of official records. The message that I get when I try to install MS Word is attached.

  Note: When I first installed the virtual machine I installed Visual Basic 6, which works very well to date.

  Once again, not a matter of actual Fusion and you need to refer to Microsoft for a solution.

  Take a look at the following and it was only the first three when searching for the error "The Windows Installer Service is not to be accessible":

  Error message "Could access the Windows Installer Service" when you install a program in Windows XP

  Error message when you try to add or remove a program on a computer that is running Windows XP or Windows Server 2003: "the Windows Installer service is not to be accessible.

  Error message "the Windows Installer service is not be available" when you try to install Office

• Upgrade to VMware-Fusion - 2.0.4 Miss / Don ' t Bother downloading

  I just downloaded "VMware-Fusion - 2.0.4 - 159196 - light .dmg" and tried to update from version 2.0.2.  Installation crashes immediately and is unable to make further progress.  View installation journal suggests that the Setup program is unable to unload the previous kernel extensions after what the installation stops.  Below you will find my attached log file.  I tried twice and each time produces the same result.  The second time was after a clean reboot, and the first thing I did was to try to install vmware.  Also, I guess it's the same for the light version (the version without anti-virus indigestion).  Since this is the second upgrade of vmware fusion in ten days, I guess that there was a problem with 2.0.3?  No change log has been validated for 2.0.4, so there is no way of knowing what he's trying to hard.  Maybe it is necessary to upgrade to 2.0.3 before upgrade to 2.0.4, however, this has not been the case in earlier versions of vmware fusion.  Since I'm upgrading directly from 2.0.2, maybe someone else can tell us in the comments if upgrading from 2.0.3 works.  My suggestion is to wait until 2.0.5 before the upgrade because 2.0.4 seems dead on arrival.

  So I suggest to uninstall Fusion 2.0.2 or what version you have installed, restart and install Fusion 2.0.4 Alternatively, remove the "/ Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vmware.launchd.vmware.plist" file and restart then Fusion kernel Extensions and the VMware virtual network will not be loaded and then try to install however I would just uninstall, reboot and install and do with it , because it is simply not a big deal and takes a few minutes.

• VMware Fusion 8.0

  I plan to put VMware Fusion 8.0 on my new Mac Mini, so I can run an older version of Quicken for Mac 2006 R7. I have more than 20 years, the Quicken data files and I need to be able to access these files years every so often for the purposes of investment. Didn't like not all of the new version of Quicken for Mac, or any other software of finance personal I tested (they all seem to be cloud online version now), so I went back to the old version of Quicken, which is very stable for me (I just don't let it backup on my internal HD more).

  All the old Quicken files and the program are on my Time Capsule and another hard drive backup external.

  My old Mac Mini still works, but given that the OSX can not be upgraded beyond v. 10.6.8 some programs and Firefox work just not so well, and I was starting to think I have some security issue too.

  I could get another monitor to the old Mini and not allow access to the internet, but it would still need to save every day at least to one of the external drives. Or, I could attach it to my current monitor along the coast the new Mini, using the D - SUB cable. I've never used the D - SUB connection, so not sure how good the view will be if two Minis share the same monitor. If I could afford to buy another monitor, I'd do it, but now, money is tight after the purchase of my new Mini and a new MBP for my daughter who is in College (his old MB was a 2008 model, no place to upgrade more, so it's very, very slow).

  I read here that some people had problems of compatibility with El Capitan and Fusion, so I am wary of load on the new Mini. Are these problems solved?

  When you read about the problems? If you're careful, you can try merge free simply go to their web site to access the free trial version. You can also use VirtualBox which is free. I don't think that you will have problems with the virtual machine.

  Where you might have problems to run older versions of Quicken rather that perhaps in Quicken for Windows in your virtual machine running Windows or just the new version of Quicken for Mac without running a virtual machine. But I don't know much about Quicken.

• Bootcamp Windows 7 cannot run by VMWare Fusion 8.1.0

  I use MBP (13 "mid-2010) 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 Nvidia 320 M 256 MB

  That's what I did in chronological order

  (1) improved my MBP to El Capitan 10.11.1

  (2) my VMWare Fusion Pro 7 did not work - asked me to upgrade to version 8 to access my Windows 7 Boot Camp

  (3) no choice... I had to upgrade to VMWare Fusion... fact to 8.0.0... my Boot Camp Windows could not always run... .deleted previous Virtual Machine... again added to select Windows in boot camp...

  (4) does not work either... just got a free upgrade to VMWare Fusion 8.1.0... now the question is much worse... when I try to add my windows Boot Camp... That said:

  " Volume the Boot Camp is not prepared to stand as a virtual machine. It seems that Windows don't is is not properly stopped the last time it was used.

  "To shut down Windows properly, go to System Preferences > startup disk and set Windows as the start-up operation.

  (5) tried to run windows to startup as suggested... says NO OPERATING SYSTEM FOUND... it seems that my windows boot file is missing?

  Wait a second... (I don't know why I did... but I 'played' with the utility drive Partition and tried to expand my (not accessible) windows... between step 2) and 3) above

  Ideas to solve my problem...

  Appreciated. Thank you.

  Step 1 has caused the problem. It may be easily fixable. Can you post the output of the following Terminal commands?

  diskutil list

  Cs diskutil list

  sudo TPG - vv - r see the/dev/disk0

  sudo fdisk/dev/disk0

  The "sudo" commands will prompt to enter your password, and there do not appear to come back. You can also see caution against improper use 'sudo' and the potential loss of data due to an "abuse" of the order.
