Launch VM Fusion, then select the virtual machine, then click on setting. Under video, you should see the option to turn on 3D acceleration.

Yeah, your VM can't be active. Set that option before the VM boots up.

Is there any advantage to using Boot Camp in conjunction with Fusion?

I just set up Fusion today and am loving it, but I had that problem of re-activating Windows XP and now won't be able to use XP.

I'm probably going to get Vista and use Fusion with that, what are the advantages of using Boot Camp + Fusion as opposed to just Fusion.

Install hangs on vmnet config

I have hackintosh with 3Com940 net card PIV 2.8 1 GB ram Nvidia 5200.

Fusion install hungs (actually Mac locks up and requires reboot) when it comes to network cards setup vmware-config-net.pl scripts.

Any simillar expiriences and recomendations how to fix it ?

I found out that the 1.0 version is more stable and better than the 1.1, like you said guys I have a lot of issues with 1.1 but not a single problem with the previous version.

[cyclonefr]

1.1 is horrible on Leopard, sometimes I hangs while booting any VM and speed is crap.

[curlyboy]

Absolutley speed is utter crap is way slower than previous versions

[Nico3d3]

I'm using VMWare Fusion 1.1 right now and I can tell you that they get better at every updates! I have Windows XP installed on a secondary hard drive and I didn't even have to change any config for VMware to recognize it. VMware view it as a bootcamp partition even if I didn't install it with bootcamp and when I double-click on it, Windows XP start normally without any problem. Also, they are getting closer to full 3D support, last version only supported DirectX 8, now it support DirectX 9 but texture acceleration is still not supported, that's what prevented me from playing game like SimSocieties without doing a dual boot. I'm glad I don't have the speed issue some of you are describing.

[Threepwood]

I have XP on a seperate drive, can I use VMWare Fusion on my AMD machine? I read that Parallels only works on real Macs (because it needs a real bootcamp partition). Is this true?

[anibalin]

do you guys have a core2 running? are you able to enable "2 processors"? mine hangs at loading.

[Goron]

Yeah, 2 cores working here on 1.1 ...

Nice to see better directx support, but gothic2 just runs at ~20fps and menues are empty -meaning borderlines are visible but no text at all

[macgirl]

I have no problems with Fusion 1.1,and it is on both an AMD and Intel

Can you boot a normal XP partition? Without messing it up? I haven't dared to try.

hi people, for the ones who still have the kernel panic when try to install fusion look at my blog

Running the patched iATKOS kernel on a core 2 duo and vmware 1.1 (latest off their website) is running just dog slow, like a 386.  Is there a known issue with patched Leopard kernels or is there something I haven't optimized properly?
