Mac + VMware Fusion=???

jerryleejr · 07-25-2008, 02:02 AM

I have posted on the mac boards but I thought I would try here as well because I know there are alot of users here. Basically I installed VM Fusion 1.0 and it started working fine, Then I got a product key error, So after some research I installed 1.1.3 which was supposed to fix this. Now Fusion will not boot up. It just freezes after the log on. Also this is associated When I am switching from XP to OS X I have to hold the option key down to select OS X, If I use the Bootcamp option in XP it just hangs up and never restarts. Any Ideas??

I use VMWare Fusion on my MacBook running MacOS 10.5.2. I don't entirely understand your problem, but it might be best to remove VMWare Fusion, reinstall and create a new Windows machine (a totally new one, not using an existing boot camp partition).
Good luck!

I uninstalled VM Fusion and the hang ups stopped. I will try a reinstall and see what happens. I really dont want to create a new VM because of space. I only use windows for a few things so I allocated 10GB for Bootcamp. Another 15GB for my Idisk and the rest for OS X. Thanks anyway.
