Windows 7 Beta – VMware Fusion issues
I am having to rebuild Windows 7 Beta from scratch under VMware Fusion. Not sure what happened actually but I had installed Office 2007 Enterprise, Vizio 2007, SharePoint Designer 2007 and Visual Studio 2008. This in it self was not problematic.
I then configured outlook to get my work email. Everything was OK until I took Outlook 2007 into Unity mode. At first all was well. I was able to archive and send and receive mail.
I put my Mac to sleep and went to the gym for lunch. When I came back Outlook was no longer located in my OSX dock. I took the VM out of Unity Mode and discovered that the VM had entered stand by mode. SO when I went to “un-pause” te Win7 VM it did nothing. This continued to the point where nothing I did would bring it back.
So now I am reinstalling the whole mess.
On a positive note my Win2k3 server VM is running fine but I have not used unity mode on it for any of the applications.
