Can you hide a VMware or VirtualBox virtual machine from the launcher?

On April 13, 2011, In Virtual Computing, By admin

Question by Ethan: Can you hide a VMware or VirtualBox virtual machine from the launcher?
What I mean is have it so that this virtual machine is entirely hidden when not in use, but them still run it when I need to use it.
To be honest, I plan on using this virtual machine for porn (to make full use of links, shortcuts, file management, etc.), but I don’t want people poking around on my computer to be able to easily find it.
Ideally, it would involve mounting a TrueCrypt drive that has the virtual machine stored in it, so I can mount and run it from there.

Do you mean that you’re trying to run the VM, but have it hidden from youself? Meaning no visible windows or taskbar tabs/icons?

It’s very easy. Of course, the more RAM the better, but the software “Boot Camp” is now included with Leopard. For full instructions, just check out the link!

I want to create a virtual machine using VMware so do I need to buy another copy of windows to install on it?
Is there no way of just copying my current setup to the virtual machine?

Thanks

Use the retore disk that came with your PC to install it, and activate it with the key on a stick on your PC’s case.

Q&A: is there a program that is similar to Vmware Fusion for my Mac?

On April 12, 2011, In Virtual Computing, By admin

Question by amon2365: is there a program that is similar to Vmware Fusion for my Mac?
i have a Imac G5 and i noticed that Vmware Fusion is only able to work on intel based macs, where i can do windows and mac at the same time. is there a program that works the same but works on a G5 processor?

Best answer:

Answer by champers
I don’t think windows would run with that processor, so they probably don’t make VMware for it

Answer by mac_fixit
Unfortunately you are stuck with Virtual PC for your G5 iMac as VMware is only suited to Intel Macs.

Unfortunately it Virtual PC on a G5 runs like a PIG even when you have a lot of RAM.

What do you need to run Windows for anyway?

can i use windows movie maker in a virtual machine such as virtual box or vmware?

On April 11, 2011, In Virtual Computing, By admin

Question by Joey P: can i use windows movie maker in a virtual machine such as virtual box or vmware?
As many know in windows 7 you can use windows xp mode as a virtual machine. Well i installed xp mode to find out WMM doesn’t work so does it just not work with XP mode or all virtual machines?

Best answer:

Answer by Walker_Windows_Team
XP Mode is not the same thing as a virtual machine. WMM will work fine in VMWare

If I install VMware on my bootcamp partition running Vista will it have the exact same software?

On April 11, 2011, In Virtual Computing, By admin

Question by evperry: If I install VMware on my bootcamp partition running Vista will it have the exact same software?
that is already installed in Windows Vista? or will I have to reinstall everything over again?

Best answer:

Answer by Pervalicious
I think you are missing the concept of virtual machines hence the VM in VMware. It is not made to replace an operating system like vista, it is to create virtual machines while on an existing OS, so no it will not have all the same programs because as far as the software in the VM is concerned, it is a totally different machine.
