I decided to give myself a challenge and install vmware. Well, that wasn't hard at all... I followed the instructions found here http://www.advicesource.org/ubuntu/R...re_player.html
Well, first problem, when I try to open the vmx file, I get an error message that says I can't access the file becuase I don't have full privelages or something like that. Well, I googled and tried adding my user to the disk group, but that didn't work. So I solved the problem by running the program through the terminal. I did sudo vmplayer to get into windows. Well, it opens up and as it boots up it looks good. But when i log on and after i re activate, none of my drivers are installed. I wasn't sure if i was supposed to re install drivers becuase whatever changes i make through vmware, it should make the same changes to my actual windows install. So i didnt want to risk it. I just wanted to ask you guys for confirmation if i should install drivers through vmware, i dont want to mess up my existing windows partition. Thanks. (hope my question makes sense).
