Windows Xp Media Edition (and compatibility with Camtasia Studio)

Hi - I am looking to buy VM Fusion and could not find a simple

place to ask a very simple question: I currently have a laptop running

Windows XP (Media Edition). If I can clone this system and it will work on

my iMac as a virtual machine? I know that XP is supported, but whatever

This edition of Media Center problems would be useful to know.

Secondly, can I load Windows applications after installing virtual machine

Fusion (e.g. Camtasia Studio) or I need to install them before I

clone of the machine?

Finally, had anyone actually run Camtasia Studio in a virtual machine

environment and if if - they had problems of desktop capture

activity between open mac and windows programs?

Know the answers to these questions would really help me make up my mind on how to move forward with the merger of the VM.

Thanks in advance.

First of all, you can download a fully functional version of Fusion and get a free 30-day trial serial number in order to test if the merger is good for you.

Second, you can use VMware vCenter Converter to create a virtual machine from a physical computer, however if the Windows operating system came pre-installed OEM or is an OEM version, so he is not legally transferable to another computer by the EULA and may also verify that it is running on a hardware OEM and wouldn't work anyway. If you have a legally transferable copy of Windows and intend to remove it from the physical hardware after the conversion, then this is an option however with Windows Media Center not all features will work when virtualized and the features of Media Center with General questions.

As far as Camtasia Studio, I installed this in a Windows XP Pro VM and played with it a little but not enough to say that it is 100% usable in all its features.

The best thing I can suggest is take advantaged of the free 30 days trial serial number and see if the Fusion is a viable option for your needs and also there is Boot Camp where you would be under Windows natively on Apple hardware and would not have any different problem then other support material physical.

    If you purchased Word on CD, it's no big deal; just reinstall it after the factory restore. If it was bought online, copy the file downloaded to a CD and then reinstall it later.

    Is there a particular reason, why you want to do a restore complete? Have you problems? If so, you can try asking here on how to fix them and do not have to do a restore, reinstall all your programs and all of the updates and service pack 1.

  • During the upgrade to Windows XP Media Edition 2004-2005 - do not go

    While upgrading from Windows XP Media Edition 2004 to XP ME 2005, I entered the 25-character product key and it would not take it. Then I tried to use the product key that came with my Sony VAIO that came with this version of Windows XP Media Edition 2004, it would not accept either. I am absolutely sure I had the correct product key because he was strong and had the Microsoft sticker on the package marked Upgrade of Windows XP Media Edition 2005. Could something else would cause because my ME XP 2004 had just been installed about two weeks ago. Earlier in the day (yesterday), SP 2 has been downloaded and installed.  I would point out product keys, but I don't want someone else to win by making and using my product key on their system. If you wish, I can give you my product keys for verification, if you wish.

    Hi BruceWalz,

    ·        What is the brand and model of the machine?

    ·        What is the full error message that you receive?

    a. you can disable the eSATA from the BIOS (Basic Input Output System) drive and then try to start the installation of Windows XP from the Windows XP disc.

    Note: Changing the BIOS / chipset can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/chipset can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

    b. After you downloaded and installed the SATA drivers from the manufacturer's website, reactivate the eSATA drive.

    Hope the helps of information. Please post back and we do know.

  • I have windows vista Enterprise edition and trying to connect to a PPTP VPN, I get an error 691.

    I have windows vista Enterprise edition and trying to connect to a PPTP VPN, I get an error 691 name of user and password are fine, I can connect to the VPN on XP without problem.

    original title: VPN Error 691

    I was able to find a solution by the way that the domain has been configured. I was adding the complete domain name and extension (i.e. domain.local). The .local was me screwing up. I edited the domain field to only reflect the domain name without any extensions. One that I did this it worked like a charm. I have been using a VPN PPTP on a computer Server 2003 domain mixed with 2000 and 2003 domain controllers and Windows 7 Pro laptop computers. Hope this helps someone.

    I need more info on how your network is configured to answer the question on the other.  How is the computer connected to the internet?  It connects wireless or cable to the router or modem or through ICS from another computer or what?  How do you change between the sharing of internet connection currently?  What happens when you try to enable both connections at the same time (or do not have two connections)?

    Thank you.  The answers above, I can be able to understand the problem, because right now I really don't know how you setup and I need as much information as you can provide about it.

    Good luck!
