  • how would i do this if i have window 7 downloaded and i have not opened vmware fusion 3 yet like how do i set it up????

  • @bradskate14 Your Win7 download may have come as a disk image... like an ISO file. You can "mount" the ISO file as a drive with VMWare. Then, when you start your virtual machine, it will detect it and boot from it. Then, it should proceed as a standard install. If your Win7 download didn't come as an ISO, you'll need to convert it to an ISO file. There are lots of tools available that will help you with that.

  • can you full screen the windows window?

    I wanna double screen my mac and have windows on one and mac on the other

  • @BananagunStudios Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. Yes... you can run your virtual machine full screen and on a second monitor. It's a great option that I use frequently.
