I need to run VMware on my notebook (which is installed with Vista).
I installed VMWare Server 1.0.6 (which is running perfectly on my desktop – window XP). The installation on vista is OK but Once start it, it turns out blue screen. It is really get me mad.
After some “googlging”, the answer is the avasts – a virus scan software (Arr…??).
Seems It has some conflict with the vmware,(but I don’t observed in my PC which is XP??)
The solution is unstall it. OK…..
And then, vmware can start. But everytime it startup, the vista is hang up from 30 sec to 2 mins. It is really troublesome. Especially, I’m frequently need to up and down vm for different testing.
And the vista getting longer to startup (seems it is vm authroizatoin module doing some
stupid thing at startup)
After another “goolging”, people said version 2.0 better support on vista. But interesting, it never mentioned in their website.
So, I unstall the 1.0.6 and reinstall 2.0. This time, it run better.
But I really don’t like the new web interface in vmware 2.0
the new web interface requires install a plugin to start the vmware console but it is not support my favourte browser – firefox 3.0. No solution, only thing I can do is giveup and using IE.
finally, I can get my vmware working.
