Thank you all,
I will be getting some sighted assistance and do the reinstal. THis will get
me a little closer to having the computer setup I want.
Best,
Antonio

Subject: Re: VMWAre Fusion tool
Hello Antonio,
The explanations you have received with regard to the function of the VM
Ware Tools is quite correct; in short, they provide an automatic way to
allow the Mac hardware to be used by the virtual machine. One could ask why
this is an option at all for why would one not wish this?
The answer is that there are some instances when such access is not
required. Keep in mind that many IT professionals use virtual machines; VM
Ware has to allow for all kinds of needs.
It is the same with regard to word processors. Most people use only about
3% of the power of MS Office yet it has everything anyone could want in
order to accommodate more advanced writers.
As for your dilemma, without sighted assistance, I recommend the following:
1.
If you think you have deleted your Windows 7 installation, assuming you have
not emptied the Finder Trash, go to the Trash and undelete/restore the file.
Please remember that regardless of its appearance, a virtual instance of
anything is little more than a single file.
2.
If possible, re-install VM Ware Fusion. This will not damage any instances
of virtual machines.
Good Luck,
Mark

Hello all,
I am running VMware Fusion with Windows 7 and have run into a problem
where I can not start windows.
I used to be able to press an unlabled button, but now the button has
disappeared and was replaced with a text that says
VMWare tool is not installed. Choose the virtual machine install vmware
tools menu.
Also I may have accidentally removed windows 7 from my library. I don't
know what this means exactly. Just know I went changing things around in
hopes to fix something, and didn't think this would make things difficult
especially since there was no confirmation to remove windows 7 from my
library.
Could someone share what this VMWare tools means?
Thanks,
Antonio Guimaraes
