[~XS]

been 90 minutes. doing this.

Should of loaded by now is this legal version

 

[~XS]

no, i have the legal version. Just didn't feel like ripping the iso or whatever. Restart with different settings or what?

 

[deathbal sam]

how much ram have you got and memory

 

[~XS]

2gb ram. I have it set for 518 ram usage.

Storage I have 70gb free.

Completely clean install of windows also. No excess processes in background, programs slowing it down, etc.

 

[deathbal sam]

Maybe It dosnt work on Windows 7 correctly anyone else had it on windows 7

Uh, why are you running windows 7? Try using XP or Vista, something that's known to work with vmware..

And if you have the intel version of leopard, why don't you just install that over your windows installation, if it's just a clean install?

 

[~XS]

as far as i have read the only compatibility issues windows 7 has had with programs in daemon tools and some anti-viruses.

I downloaded the actual virtual machine files. Not the .iso.

let me see if ubuntu works. hold on.

Because windows 7 pwns. Actually I just because fond of the layout, plus my machine can run it without flaws. Vista sucks, XP is outdated.

I still want windows. I just want to run Mac at the same time. Not dualboot or anything like that.

Vista and XP may not be what you're looking for, but if you want windows and leopard, this may be your only option.

Why don't you create a virtual windows xp machine and set up virtual leopard in that? xD

Also, maybe try increasing the amount of ram... requirement is 512mb, so maybe giving it 1gb might help. (1gb left for windows 7 works fine anyways, from what I have seen)

 

[deathbal sam]

its most likely windows 7

 

[~XS]

but it runs the initial loader, the darwin or whatever.

maybe an incorrect setting or something? Or really windows 7?

 

[deathbal sam]

Could be a setting but then you just clean installed

 

[~XS]

i mean like a vmware setting? or a initial install setting?

btw

since it does emulate OS's on windows 7, we can assume it isn't windows 7 or vmware in general.

So it is an incorrect setting somewhere, either vmware or initial install setting.

fuuuuuuuuuu hate troubleshooting.

 

[deathbal sam]

Ok have you tryed adding more ram
