VMWare fusion slowing down bug
Category
Its a Mac related thing, but it was annoying the hell out of me, so its worth a post. I use VMWare fusion to launch an XP client whenever I need to get something windowsy done. Recently, it has taken longer and longer to start up going up to 10 minutes just to boot recently. I tried uninstalling VMWare and reinstalling, checking disk fragmentation and restored a copy of my version XP image. Nada.
Managed to solve it eventually today (I should of done this ages ago) by reinstalling VMWare tools on the XP image. Works a treat again.
Update: This has not fixed the problem - something is up here - any vm running on this macbook is now horribly slow to start and stop.... will let you know when I find something.
