Hi fellow list members
I have recently installed VMWare Fusion and Windows XP Pro, in order
to begin explore the other side of my iMac. So far, so good, except
for one minor problem - recognition of the graphics card. I guess
that as the graphics card is part of the hardware, then Windows
offers little assistance in the way of emulating hardware.
Has anyone on the list got the same software installed and working,
and if so, do you know whether there is a way of getting PC programs
to recognise the Mac's graphic card.
I have a game installed, which is compatible with the operating
system (Windows XP), that will not execute. I contacted the game's
developer, and he told me that it was not loading because it didn't
recognise the graphic card, however if I could find a work-around,
it might work. His bottom line, however, was that the company did
not support the use of their (PC) games on Mac's.
Hello Rosie,
You can 'Tweak' the settings of your VM default settings.
To change settings in your Fusion virtual machine, first shut it down
and then click on Settings in the toolbar.
If you have an Intel Core Duo Mac (which you do), Fusion can take
advantage of the dual CPUs to get better performance in processor-
intensive programs.
To enable dual-CPU support, go to the Processors section and click on
2 Virtual Processors.
Fusion also supports accelerated 3-D graphics; enable it on the
Displays tab. (Note that, for most Windows games, you’re really better
off using Boot Camp.)
Finally, if you’d like Fusion to allocate more processing power to
your Mac or to your virtual machine, you can adjust that setting in
the Performance section of Fusion’s Preferences.
I can send you 'off list' a pdf of this setup if you require it.
Cheers,
Ronni
