RossMcd Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 Hey there! Well... I know a lot of you tf guys are good at this stuff so i thought id ask here. Im trying to install the VMware player and when i open the .exe file it opens but only opens a grey window with nothing on it and Nothing happens. Its annoying me as Im needing to use the Mac OS X and I cant. Anyone able to enlighten me here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukasMcNeal Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 1. Try a different source 2. I'm not sure what its like on a mac but run as an administrator? 3. Try on a different user account 4. Delete and download again If any of these don't work I dunno! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossMcd Posted June 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 Oh no... Im running windows vista at the moment. I need to virtually use the Mac OS X. For college purposes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukasMcNeal Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 Agh ok! Vistas a bitch and a similar thing happened to me! Try the different user account method and the run as admin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossMcd Posted June 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 I am the only user on this computer. I am admin... Still doesnt work. I may have to boot my laptop up using ubuntu then try downloading VMware there. Would that work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew62 Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 Not 100% on your exact problem so i won't state the obvious of not being able to run .exe's on Macs. Perhaps have a look at this..not sure if it'll be any use? http://www.codeweavers.com/products/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossMcd Posted June 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 Ok I must have worded my first post wrong. Im not using a mac in any shape or form. I have the .iso of mac OSX. I want to be able to run the VMware player on my WINDOWS VISTA computer. But when I open the .exe in vista all i get open is a grey window. I cant close it, minimise it, nothing. The title of this box is VMware Player setup. I have left this open for like an hour and still nothing has come up on this grey box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomturd Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 Try virtualbox instead? http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads Guess it should be able to load the same images as VMWare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
