Hi Martin, I was able to solve the problem by installing bootcamp drivers, so no worries - thanks…

Hey Martin,
I hope all your mac troubles are resolved by now - well, I am sure there are always things to improve :). I am still in the process of getting comfortable with my new MacBook. I installed VMware fusion 1.1.1, problem I am facing is that it disables my bluetooth when I run it. There is no little usb icon for bluetooth in the VMware frame neither there is any option to enable it in the settings. It is annoying because I am getting my internet from bluetooth. Any idea?

Hi Rob,

Thanks for the suggestion! I know that, but for me it was also the time to do a clean Windows reinstall: I didn’t configure firewall, antivirus,… when I installled Parallels, and since then there’s a virus and some spyware I can’t remove, but I get the warnings every minute or so, very annoying.
(One of the many reasons why I switched to Mac ;-))
Happy with your VMWare? I am, only one lasting problem: when I switch on dual processor in my preferences, I get bluescreens in my XP startup (I guess I should have switched this on BEFORE installing XP).
I’m using computers for many years now, I sometimes wonder how a “new-bee” gets those things to work (but I guess he’s comfortable with all the defaults and doesn’t start tweaking stuff).

re: your Parallels migration to VMWare, there is a tool available from VMWare to convert your Parallels partition. Then you don’t have to reinstall your application. It worked great for me.
