nicatronTg Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Hmmmm, I suggest that you reinstall vmware, but don't delete the machine its self. If the VM is sharing stuff inside the host, check that. Like if I run FF inside a VM, it will sometimes crash because of my firewall on the host blocking VMWare from the web. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmoothCriminal Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 thats microsofts way of getting back at you for using vmware to run a better OS than vista, using vista It's more Microsoft's way of making sure you use their virtualization products.
