What OS X are you running?

Have you tried turning off power save mode in preferences?

I just found out the power save mode switch but still the same prob.

Is there any way to switch the gpu on vmware aswell?

Have a look at this thread as it seems to indicate that VMware only supports directx 8.

Also there are instructions on how to enable 3d support for the vm

Do you know how to downgrade to directx 8?

[danch]

Right from a full read up there is support for the latest DX in VMware,

What is the exact issue you are getting when trying Phoenix in VMware?

Have you tried parallels or bootcamp?

It just crash every time I tried bootcamp and it does the same

[Rich23]

Have you tried parallels? I run Phoenix through it and works very well.

With your spec of MacBook pro it should be running very well.

[danch]

I really think its something strange going on as your having issues in all types of virtual running, which version of xp are you running?

Dan

[Rich23]

Hi Does XP run ok on VMware? Does it update ok? and is it updated to the latest service pack?

[nitros]

Tomorrow I will try to make another machine with xp sp3 I will keep you update

[nitros]

All sorted turned off power safe mode on the mac. Re installed everything and works like charm. Thanks guys

[danch]
