How do I disable VMWare Fusion at startup?

I'm having kernel panics and can't get past the grey apple/progress gear screen. I've gone through all the usual kernel panic trouble shooting procedures so please don't direct me to those knowledge base pages.
The problem set in while my son was running a 3D Windows game in Fusion. Definitely overtaxing the system.
So I finally got the computer to start in verbose mode which is quite interesting and what I find is lots and lots of vmware stuff right up at the top of the startup process. The whole startup grinds to a halt in the middle of vmware which would indicate that something related to fusion is causing difficulties.
So is there any way for me to start up without VMware doing it's thing?

Unfortunately, safe boot is not working. Just won't happen.
I was able to repair with disk utilities using firewire target disk mode and still can't start up.
While in target disk mode I also just as a test moved all Fusion related items to a folder. Then starting in verbose mode all VMware stuff was gone but the process still ground to a halt just at a different point.
The hitch here is that I don't have my install disks with me.
I'm going to cruise over to the Fusion forums but they're pretty dead. A good proportion of threads go with no replies.
Thanks.

How Do I Find VMWare Fusion on my Macbook Air

I recently bought a Macbook Air that is supposed to have VMWare Fusion installed on it. Windows XP is installed on the partitioned drive. Where do I go to open VWWare Fusion? I don't find it anywhere on the computer. Thank you.

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
if Fusion is already installed on your MBA, then you should find it in the Applications Folder.
If not, look for the Fusion installation CD and install Fusion from it.
Are you sure you have bought a Fusion license together with your MBA ?
Apple hasn't offered such bundle in the past, so it should be an offer from the store where you bought the MBA.
If in doubt ask them where Fusion is.
Regards
Stefan

How do I disable password login at startup??

Since installing Yosemite 10.10.1, every time I turn on my MacBook Pro I have to Select User and then login with my password. I don't want this, since I'm the only user and it wastes time. This didn't used to happen before installing Yosemite. I can't find the button in Security and Privacy that turns this off! Any help? Thanks!

Are we on the same page? System preferences>users & groups. Click on login items. Click on lock in lower left and enter your system password.
You said something about logging in. If you are not the system administrator, you cannot change anything.

How to Disable Cold Fusion MX 6

Hello All,
Hopefully this is a simple answer. We have a Cold Fusion 6.1 install on Windows 2003 R2 server that we are looking to decomission but still continue to run IIS. This is a production box so I want to be as unobtrusive as possible. Can someone tell me or point me to how I would disable cold fusion cleanly? I attempted to stop the service once before and after about a day, IIS started complaining and ground to a halt. Any suggestions would be appreciated as I move forward.
Joe

First, run the web server configuration tool to disconnect CF from IIS. Then, you can stop the CF services and/or uninstall CF in its entirety. I don't know if you have a desktop icon for the web server configuration tool, but it's available within the CF install directory as wsconfig.exe (which is really just a wrapper for wsconfig.jar).

How do you disable - hotsync manager window's fade out on close?

For the newer version of Palm Desktop and Hotsync Manager, how do you make the hotsync manager window stop fading out when closed or "done".
It stops me from being able to access ANYTHING until the fade is completed, and that is a complete waste of my time, also when I have much more important things going on (alarms/alerts) that can't be silenced during the fade.
And ... how do you disable the splash screen startup for the Palm Desktop, and how do you get the palm desktop to conform to standard windows start practices, so that when you open the program it comes up on the screen at the same windowed size I closed it at?
Thanks!!
Post relates to: Centro (Sprint)

Thank you ... however it was already set for "normal window". I deleted the icon and recreated and that seemed to fix it though, not sure why.
As for the splash ... its a waste of time ... the application loads faster than "they" would expect so all it does is extra advertizing for Access without having a purpose. And again, its not just a second or so, its 3 to 5 seconds depending on what else I'm doing.. and if I'm reading an email while double clicking the icon to have it start on my second monitor.. the spash covers my email till the program's running.
The worse delay is the fade. You already admit that it can vary depending on a number of things.. well that programmer may have thought it were very cool on a quad core intel @ 3 GHz .... try it on a 1 G p3, with an older video card. Or try it on an older laptop .... the delay is 6 to 10 seconds while it fades it self to the nethers, it certainly didn't "CLOSE" when I told it to.. it took its dear sweet time.
The programmer probably thought "hey this is really cool mahn.. watch it fade away..." by the third time of being into or out of the settings that re-triggers the closing fade, I was ready to kill that programmer. Make him suffer for the stupidity of his vision. Its one thing to make it "cool" and give people the option to live with that plain jane every day FASTER response... and quite the other to force people to relive your "cool" idea every f**king day, every time they go into settings, or need to see the log for what failed on backup.. etc.
Ever go upto a windows XP pc when someone says it seems slow and *de-select* the "FADE" option for their menus?? (Display Properties -> Appearance -> Effects -> deselect "use the following transition") I have ... and its amazing how perception changes because the menus are there NOW, not taking their time to pull off some grandious entrance ... the first time it may have been cool.. but by the 500 th time you've been into your start menu a year into the game.. that slow fade crap is working on your every nerve.
Poor impulse control would have had me killing the programmer that put that fade in there.. now I just want to put him in for an hour or two of waterboarding.
It was bad programming to force some idiots idea of a "cool" view on people, and the programmer should be shot down for it. It shouldn't be... and it wasn't there before, so some mornon actually went out of their way to put something in because the program just wasn't "cool" enough for them.. and then they decided to F the rest of us by making it so we couldn't DEselect that slice of programmers heaven.
It may sound like I'm blowing things out of proportion... but really, it was fine the way it was, now they've gone and F'd it up. Moves for the better get little publicity, you have to live with the knowledge no one is bitching, but when you screw something up ... you need to fix it and need to hear how badly your lack of vision made things for others.
and.. if they wont' fix it.. its coming off the pc.. I'll go back to the old "uncool" version.

How can I disable Firefox from automatically opening on system startup on my Mac - unchecking the "open at login" does not work?

We have Firefox 10.o on our Macbook Pro OS X 10.5.8. I prefer using Firefox as my browser but my husband prefers Safari for now because of a long history of bookmarks and saved information he doesn't have time to re-do. He is tired of Firefox automatically opening when we start up the laptop, and even when we uncheck the "open at login" it still opens at login every time. He is about to uninstall it because of this. How can we disable? It does NOT show up in our account on the Mac OS as an application that starts at login, so we can't disable it there.

For those of you running Windows, I found this on another site. (Unfortunately, not before getting totally disgusted and switching to chrome.)
1. click start (or the windows flag button at the bottom left) 2. in the "search programs and files" or the RUN dialog box, enter "msconfig.exe" or "msconfig". 3. That should open the system configuration program. 4. click the "Startup" tab at the top of the opened program. 5. Under the "startup item" column, look for Mozilla firefox. 6. uncheck that one. 7. Click OK or apply. 8. click "exit without restart". 9. you're good to go.

How do I disable the automatic startup on HP Photosmart Premier when I turn my computer on?

Someone else posted ths question a month ago, but still no answers. Anyone?
How do I disable the automatic startup on HP Photosmart Premier when I turn my computer on?
Windows XP, SP3 operating system recently re-installed so I also reinstalled my printer software. Now, for some reason, each time I turn my computer on, my HP Photosmart C4100 all-in-one photosmart premier software opens. It is not in my startup. This slows down my computer terribly, which is why I never used the program before my re-install. How can I disable this feature? I only print, I don't use it for photos.
Any help here is appreciated.

Run msconfig.exe from the start button (type in msconfig). When it comes up go to the Startup tab and find and deselect the HP product you do not want to start. Save and reboot computer. Now try.

How do I disable auto-launch of third party applications (i.e. TeamViewer) at startup?

I've loaded a few third party applications like TeamViewer which installed themselves as startup applications which I cannot disable in the system preferences login items. The obvious answer is don't load these apps but that being said, how do I disable them now that they are loaded without uninstalling to prevent them from launching automatically during startup. I can quit them after they launch but I'd like to prevent them from auto-starting during startup. Any insight would be appreciated.

Look in TeamViewers preferences for this:
Uncheck it.

How do I activate Windows 8 using vmware fusion on my MacBook Pro?

I have a MacBook pro and there are a few Windows programs that I need to run. So I purchased VMWARE Fusion 5 and Windows 8 pro. I installed both with no issues except now I'm being prompted to activate windows. When I go to activate it with the product key, it says that the product key is only able to be used for upgrading, but not a clean install. I'm not sure what I need to do now. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Yes as with Windows 7 if you used a Upgrade Win 7 disc it won't WANT To Activate and to get around it you do another install of Win 7 over the top of the original Win 7 install and it make it look like you are Upgrading and allows you to use an Upgrade key.
MS really screwed up with Win 8. There really isn't any FULL VERSION Windows 8 install DVDs. They are all Upgrade DVDs no matter how much you pay for it. So to do a Clean install, on real hardware or in a Virtual Machine, you have to jump through some hoops.

How do I install osx lion server in vmware fusion (app store version)

i cannot seem to find a way to get a .dmg to download to use / mount / whatever
mac mini running osx lion

I just get the "server" application,
Tried sending it to trash and tried redownloading just to the point where the "downloader" completes but it looks like the server application reappeared.
Is the server no longer a operating system and is downgraded to a application that runs on top of OSX 10.7?
How would I go about running OSX Lion then in Vmware fusion then?
It came preinstalled on my mac mini.
