Resize the volume & Aero Glass on Vista

I recently bought a MacBook and installed Windows Vista Ultimate on it using VMware Fusion 2. For some reason, he chose to give Windows a volume of 40 GB, which I felt was too small, but I couldn't change it. I used the settings of the Virtual Machine and has increased the size of the volume to 60 GB, and she seemed to accept but did nothing major that I clicked OK. When I have botted Windows, he always says the volume was 40 GB. How can I increase the size of the volume to 60 GB? If I've touched 40 GB, it will add a new 2 GB to the volume I have the possibility to use 2 GB files (rather than 1 large file) selected?

Also, can I the Aero Glass interface work?

Once you extend the vmdk file to size, you can go to disk management, and you can extend the disk to the new size.  Regarding the Aero, vista looks like the video card and usually decides whether she can handle the stress of the experience.  I know they have upped the virtual video card to manage several games and others, but I don't know if it is powerful enough to run aero.

  • The volume control on the Satellite Pro A200 with Ubuntu 7.10

    I have a Satellite Pro A200GE-1F9, I did recently to dual boot with Vista and Ubuntu 7.10. It's the first time I used Linux and most things are going well so far.

    However, the volume control (a wheel at the front of the laptop) does not control the volume correctly with Ubuntu, rather than increase the volume smoothly as with Vista, it increases in a 1/8 of maximum volume jumps, the on-screen volume control is always smooth. I think that it is at least partly due to the change of a material volume wheel, as with the latest Toshiba, I have used, for a version of software based. It controls the system volume and runs continuously, without stop at maximum or minimum volumes.

    Does anyone know how to change this change in volume for a smooth jump?

    Thanks for any help

    Hello

    given that no one here has no idea, nor pilots, nor any information about the driver from toshiba support, nobody will be able to give you some useful information.

    Have you ever google and checked the ubuntu forums? According to me, which will bring you closer the source here instead.
    So just to start to ask in the ubuntu forums because I think that someone is there who maybe has the same problem as you.

    I hope that artistry a kind of programmer. ;)

  • Cannot run the system error PrintMaster 2012 PlatinumBasic has been replaced by Windows Vista Aero in Windows Vista Basic.

    Original title: PrintMaster 2012 PlatinumBasic

    After you install the above program, I am not able to open it. I get a message saying that the color scheme has been changed from Windows Vista Aero to Windows Vista Basic. However, the program is still not open. Any ideas on what I should do?

    Hello

    1. is the issue limited to the program Print Master 2012 base Platinum?

    If you receive a message that some Visual elements, such as transparency, have been turned off or if you receive a message that the color scheme has been changed to Windows Vista Basic, one of the following might have happened:

    ·         A program that you are using is not compatible with the Windows Aero color scheme. When you run a program that is not compatible with the Windows Aero color scheme, some Visual elements are automatically disabled. When the program is not is more running, the Visual elements that have been disabled will then automatically lit.

    ·         Your computer does not have to have enough memory to run all of the programs that you have open and also run the Windows Aero color scheme. Try closing some windows or changing your color scheme to Windows Vista Basic. If Windows automatically changed your game of colors in Windows Vista Basic, and you want to change it back to Windows Aero after closing some windows, follow these steps.

    See the link below:

    Why are some Visual elements will automatically turn off?

  • I don't see the entire hard drive under Vista. When I try to shrink a volume, I seem to lose space.

    Original title: I see all the hard drive under Vista

    I see on the C drive properties

    In addition, currently, I have three partitions.  For vista, office and other programs and data, C D like Factory Image of HP, a 11.3 GB and yesterday I made a partition for windows 7 with 48.83GBs and installed windows 7 Professional there.  Then I realize, I need more space to install office and other programs and data.  This is when I tried to shrink the c drive and encountered this problem.

    Hello

    you do not shrink the C: drive and then expand the E: drive back in the space that you did

    You cannot extend a drive backward

    and I gave you a link to read and use on the problems of shrinkage

    If as a result of the information on how vista disk management work does not fit what you want to do, you may need to buy 3rd party partition software

  • Activation aero glass: receive Windows Vista Windows 7 guests

    Hello

    I wonder... Anyone who succeeds to activate aero on Windows Vista (guest) on the Windows 7 host?

    Thanks for the replies

    You cannot enable aero as it requires directx 10, and VMware currently only supports dx9 shader model 2.

    (But not tried it myself), I heard that there is a work around to your guest on a host remote desktop connection capable aero.

    As your host is probably able aero... That's what you could try...
