[omgd00d123]

is it one of those mega long torrents?

[omgd00d123]

wierd, i was able to register again with the same email, it works now thnx

lmao now i need a bootable .img of windows

[eReaver]

I've got it to work but i still can't figure out why it keeps Freezing. Anybody know why?


Edit: Its the CPU Usage, When i have VMware up that alone takes up 84 - 94% of the CPU Performance is there anything i can do to where i can put on cabal on my desktop?

phatal808, u mind to gv me ur msn? there's sth i would like to ask you, and i'm having trouble with vmware too, cabal can be runned in instances...

[ptah9000]

How can I fix this error ??

PM pls.

[tibi1]

i cant download it

[phatal808]

I just checked the link and it is still good and I did get a download and serial key to use. If you can't figure out the registration then you probably won't be able to figure out the rest of this.

On a side note, I created a new guest last night and downloaded tuneup utilities 2008 and used it to "tweak" a lot of settings on the guest to give maxium performance and it helped quite a lot. For those having "laggy" response have you tried tweaking the guests at all?? This is very important to allow you multiple guests. When you install your guest OS there will be a lot of **** you will not need running. Please see my third post on some suggestions on top of using tuneup utilities.

Go to your favorite bittorrent site or do what I do and use the newsgroups and download a version that is "Original" or maybe "Retail".

It sounds like a winner but I can't be for sure. Original is always best, but nearly impossible to find since all are slipstreamed with service packs etc.. I can't tell you if that version is what you need or not but you can try it. I think I went through downloading about 5 or 6 versions of xp before I found one that VMware liked.

This seems to be a common problem for most people. Matter of fact i had this problem when I first started and took days to find the answer. Best I can offer you is if you have NVidia's control panel in your system tray (a green NVidia icon) then you will probably have to go in to it's settings and disable the multi threading options. The default is Auto and if you have a multi core processor (which you should for VMware) then it will turn itself on. This must be off. If you don't have NVidia's control panel in the system tray or running then I suggest trying to disable any overclocking software you may be using for video. RivaTuner is safe since it doesnt have any option to use multi threading.

This is what you do to disable it:

Right click the green NVIDIA Control Panel.... screw explaining through words. I'm going to make a visual guide and post it in the third post. Give me about an hour or less.
