Well, Listers, if I ever thought running fusion was going to be plain
sailing, I should eat my words.
So, I now have Fusion installed and I try to run my Windows choosing
bootcamp partition. I go to vmware menu and choos "power on". Windows
starts booting and I hear my Jaws 7.1 introducing itself. Then
nothing. I command tab and all I hear is either fusion or finder. I
don't know where my windows is In vmware menu it seems that it should
be running because "shut" option is available and indeed when I choose
it, I can hear a lot of familiar noise in the machine so windows is
shutting down. Why can't I get to it? Or is that Jaws crashes or
doesn't speak? Is this because I run version 7.1?
Secondly, when I try to run bootcamp partition in Fusion, I get a
message to install vmware tools but only after windows has booted. I
choose install vmware tools. But I wait and wait and nothing happens
apart from the fact that there is now a "cancel" button in vmware menu
where "install vmware tools" was. But nothing happens. Do I need to
wait longer than two mintues? Would the tools have been a part of my
Fusion .dmg? Or is fusion trying to get the tools from the internet?
I feel I'm nearly there, but not quite. Any observations would be very
helpful.
With best wishes
Simon
