Hello Everyone, Just a quick update to thank you all for the wonderful help I received with my V M Ware Fusion project.
I have been accepted into the private Beta program for V M Ware. As a result, I am now using Fusion 11.x. I tell you all this not to boast but so that you will know that any comments I make on the program are based on an as yet unreleased version of Fusion. I am absolutely delighted to report that Windows 7 is running beautifully on my MacBook Pro. I am amazed at how fast the virtual machine functions. There is truly no delay in processing, at least, none that I can discern. The audio drivers work fine with Jaws 11. Oh yes, I decided to install the public beta of Jaws 11, also. There is one tiny glitch that I will report to V M Ware tomorrow. Read the following to discover the glitch: 1. Install Fusion 11. 2. Install Windows 7. There will be no sound. This is an old issue from the Vista days. Also, screen resolution is set to 800x600. While you can adjust screen resolution at this point, it is best to wait. 3. Run Windows 7 Update from within the virtual machine and at least two important drivers will be installed. One of these drivers is for the MacBook Pro sound card. 4. Restart Windows 7 and there will be perfect sound that is accessible using the same hardware keys as OSX. NOTE 1: For best result, I strongly recommend that you run the virtual machine as a full screen. NOTE 2: The following can be done in no particular order: 5. Install Jaws 11. At this point, everything will be working fine; however, as you enter and exit the virtual machine, you will be prompted to install the V M Ware Tools. Again, it is not necessary to do this but, for best results in the future, it is highly recommended that you do so. Simply change focus back to OSX, there are a couple of ways to do this but I will wait for enquiries before listing them as I don't want this message to get too long. Using VO, select to install the V M Ware tools for this particular virtual machine. Once the installation begins, Jaws will begin reading the dialog boxes that appear within the Windows 7 desktop. Follow the prompt to complete the installation. 6. Upon restarting Windows 7, after installing the V M Ware tools, you may notice two things: (1) the screen resolution has been correctly adjusted for the native screen resolution for the MacBook Pro or whatever type of computer display you're using and (2) there is, once again, no sound. During the V M Ware Tools installation, the correct audio driver is replaced with a VM Ware driver that does not work on the Mac Book Pro. 7. >From within Windows 7, in the device manager, select the properties for the VM Ware sound card and choose to rollback the driver. 8. Restart Windows 7 and, behold, the sound returns and all is right with the world. OK, I am so tired that I am going to stop typing at this point. Good Luck to all Fellow Snow Leopard and Windows 7 tightrope walkers.
