No, you don’t understand! things were working fine for me under mavericks with fusion for a little while.
After a while, though, it seemed like I had to reinstall the OS because I was having problems, but I didn’t do a clean install the first time because the apple person I talked to while back said that wasn’t necessary. So, I redid my OS and then I had to reinstall fusion. After I did that, my copy of xp wasn’t acting right. IE flakes out and crashes, for example. I have tried win 7 ultimate in hopes that it would be better but I’m having problems with that, too. I can’t get it to recognize my super drive so I can install window eyes. I might have to double check and make sure vm tools are installed, though-that just came to me. Windows is basically a big pita for me. I really wish I didn’t need it and am actively looking for ways to just trash it altogether if i can. Just me, though. I hope you get your problem figured out. Fusion is very useable, once you get it configured. it just might take you a while. Good luck! Cait On Dec 5, 2013, at 2:37 PM, Phil Halton <philh...@gmail.com> wrote: > wow!
