(The documentation that ships with Fusion is pretty sparse. I assumed that I would have to dial it back down and find the balance point I didn't realize vmWare + Windows XP would be so fragile when tweaking the memory allocation. I knew that this represented the absolute max, and was intended to establish performance benchmarks at that max. The idea was that I was creating a VM that would occasionally be used 99% for Windows applications (perhaps even some gaming), and wanted to test the effects of shifting the amounts of ram around until I found the "sweet spot".

So now it looks like I am hosed and have to go through the entire install process over again after deleting this VM?Īlso I just have to laugh when when users give 3 GB of 4 GB RAM to Windows because it you really need 3 GB in Windows then you should just be running a PC not a MacBook Pro. Makes sense, but it would be nice if that was made clear in the "fast start" wizard and the accompanying documentation.

Now I know better.Īdditionally if you do not have a Mac Pro you are probably better off just using 1 virtual CPU and aside from that you should just arbitrarily switch from 1 to 2 because you didn't originally build out Windows XP with 2 and Microsoft doesn't support changing the number of CPU on the fly under XP. That was literally going to be my next step.

I guess I naively assumed that vmWare + Windows would be stable enough for me to at least get to a "baseline" install of OS + required utilities before I'd need a full backup. Just curious, since you spent all that time to build out your virtual machine did you may a backup of it so if something happens you don't have to do it all over again from scratch ? Also before going and tweaking things it can be very beneficial to take a Snapshot so if something happen as a result of the tweak you have a quick way out. I'M TOTALLY PUZZLED and this is annoying as *#$%&^ since I was just to the point of actually becoming productive! (grr, I don't miss Windows!) If I launch task manager, it takes several minutes to appear, but looking at resources, it does not look like anything is running short (plenty of RAM, and plenty of CPU) (no Start button or other way to interact with the OS)Ĭtr-alt-del will bring up the utility dialog that allows logging out, shutting down, launching task manager, etc. Unfortunately, none of the Desktop files, shared directories, or other UI elements show up. Reboot would not work (hung at DOS pop-up for windows/system32/userinit.exe and never got the "tada" Windows musicĬhanged settings back to 1 processor and 2GB RAM, rebootedīooted up almost all the way - the DOS window flashed and then disappeard, and I heard the "tada" music
Then decided to twiddle with the Settings:
Rebooted several times, everything working fine
Installed Symantec AV (Enterprise Edition end point) Macbook Pro 2.4 Ghz w/4GB Ram and OS X (10.5.6) I had everything working fine for the last few days, and now suddenly Windows won't boot properly. In order to play Silent Hunter 5: Battle of the Atlantic properly, your PC MUST meet or exceed these system requirements: Supported OS: Windows XP (SP3).
