Mike Basically the answer to your question is yes, but I strongly recommend upgrading to 8GB if you possibly can. We've done that on our MBP and all of our servers and it makes a terrific difference even in native OSX which we run 99.9% of the time on the clients and 100% of the time on the server.
I really would suggest you upgrade. Remember also that the discussion of Windows itself is off topic for this group. But you're very welcome to join our new Windows list. To do so, send a message to <windows-access-requ...@techno-chat.net> and then authenticate. If you join that group, you could discuss the virtual machine setup here, then, discuss the actual Windos config on that list.

I was getting my fingers tangled and using windows commands on my Mac! So much to keep track of and I have muscle memory after more then 25 years of PC work! But, I can now use the copy command on either OS move to the other OS and use the paste command. this is very useful. I bet it works in VM 4. But, I have not been able to get VM 4 to work well for me yet. eric Caron On Sep 21, 2011, at 1:02 PM, Mrs. Lynnette Annabel Smith wrote: > Hello Eric > > I think this still works; although I'm not 100%.

What motivates the second question is that I often need to copy large sections of web pages, and by the time I mark two hot spots, turn off my trackpad commander, disable cursor tracking, click the two hot spots, bring up the context menu, discover which features I forgot to turn off, go through it all a second time, bring up a context menu, copy the text, and turn on my trackpad commander and cursor tracking again I may as well have booted my xp machine and will still save time accomplishing the task. If I could copy segments of code on a web page into xCode without having to use different machines and dropbox it might make this product worth while. >> >> Then you will encounter no problems in this regard. >> >> Lynne >> >> <--- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net ---> >> >> To reply to this post, please address your message to mac-access@mac-access.net >> >> You can find an archive of all messages posted to the Mac-Access forum at either the list's own dedicated web archive: >> <http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/mac-access/index.html> >> or at the public Mail Archive: >> <http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/>. >> Subscribe to the list's RSS feed from: >> <http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/maillist.xml> >> >> The Mac-Access mailing list is guaranteed malware, spyware, Trojan, virus and worm-free! >> >> Please remember to update your membership options periodically by visiting the list website at: >> <http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/mailman/listinfo/mac-access/options/> > > <--- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net ---> > > To reply to this post, please address your message to mac-access@mac-access.net > > You can find an archive of all messages posted to the Mac-Access forum at either the list's own dedicated web archive: > <http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/mac-access/index.html> > or at the public Mail Archive: > <http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/>. > Subscribe to the list's RSS feed from: > <http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/maillist.xml> > > The Mac-Access mailing list is guaranteed malware, spyware, Trojan, virus and worm-free! > > Please remember to update your membership options periodically by visiting the list website at: > <http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/mailman/listinfo/mac-access/options/> > > <--- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net ---> > > To reply to this post, please address your message to mac-access@mac-access.net > > You can find an archive of all messages posted to the Mac-Access forum at either the list's own dedicated web archive: > <http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/mac-access/index.html> > or at the public Mail Archive: > <http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/>. > Subscribe to the list's RSS feed from: > <http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/maillist.xml> > > The Mac-Access mailing list is guaranteed malware, spyware, Trojan, virus and worm-free! > > Please remember to update your membership options periodically by visiting the list website at: > <http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/mailman/listinfo/mac-access/options/> <--- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net ---> To reply to this post, please address your message to mac-access@mac-access.net You can find an archive of all messages posted to the Mac-Access forum at either the list's own dedicated web archive: <http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/mac-access/index.html> or at the public Mail Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-access@mac-access.net/>.
