I had Fusion running Windows 7 on my MBP under Snow Leopard perfectly. I was running Fusion 4. I got a new MBA and installed Fusion 6. I moved my Virtual Machine file from the MBP to the MBA, which I’ve heard can be done. When I launch Fusion, iI get no Windows start up music, but I think something is going on, because I hear a notification from Jaws and one from Free Download Manager, which I was running in windows.
I haven’t used Fusion with Windows on the Mac for a while, so I forget which view I should choose? Does unity have anything to do with it? Could someone give me an idea about this? Thanks in advance for all advice!
