Yep, go to VMWare Server Home Page. If it comes up with a security message, click to 'add an exception' or similar. It's not unsafe because it's only running on your own PC.

(edit) I believe the username and password are the same as your Windows logon.

(edit2) Too slow :p
 
********NEW PROBLEM******

grrr....

so i'm in the online consoel and can create a VM, however when i try and 'power on' the
virtual machine(s) it hangs @ 95% 'power on' and doesn't move after that.
I have to reboot to clear it/them.
First 95% loading happens in about 3 secs then nothing.

dvd drive spins up, correct amount of ram is allocated, few processes use some cpu for a bit and then it just stops :mad:

virtualization is enabled in the bios
anyone got any ideas?

Oh if it makes any difference i'm running:

vista ultimate x64
Q9450 @3.8Ghz
4GB DDR3 @ 1900mhz cas 8
3x8800gtx's
790i ultra mobo

all latest drivers etc

RAID0 setup, (the VMs cant detect my other storage drives?)
Before powerup i have a little red cross in the CDdrive and Network adapter icons for the VM:confused:

Only things i can find googleing are something to do with incompatibility woth AVIRA but i'm not using it so its not that.

spent all day on and off trying to get this working :mad: (meant to be writing a engineering report but nm lol)
HELP ME!!!!!

Is there any benefit from using the latest VMWare? Seriously I downloaded it the other week to test an unattended install disc I'd made and it was up there with some of the worse software I've ever used. I'm so glad they still have the older versions available for download. They're better by MILES.
 
Older versions don't play nice with Vista x64 :( The drivers they use aren't signed which is a no-no for 64-bit Vista.

Quoted for the trutheth.

Performance is better, stability is improved, etcetera. Guess it depends on what you're using it for I guess.

However, I will concede that the web based management does have it's issues, but is still a big improvement.
 
not being funny or anything, just turned on a virtual machine, where is the screen? lol

EDIT: Found it; is it me or this 2.0 is step back? keeps crashing :(
