Newbye question : what do I need to just "play" a vm in my laptop ?

today I have vmware player and a few images.
my laptop is Win XP and I can not change that .
can Oracle VM substitute vmware on this specific scenario ?
(I must keep host OS = win XP).
I see this statement at the wiki page:
Oracle VM Server: A self-contained virtualization environment designed to provide a lightweight, secure, server-based platform for running virtual machines. Oracle VM Server is based on open source technology (Xen hypervisor for example) tailored by Oracle, and includes Oracle VM Agent to communicate with Oracle VM Manager for management of virtual machines
so.. sounds like what I need.. a self-contained (standalone ??) env, etc..
but I also see other places saying the installer will erase my HD !! that is ok for a server env but all I need is to play a VM every now and then at my win XP laptop.
I think that is not possible but I am not sure... can you guys confirm my understanding ?
Thanks in advance !!

This means it is the only operating system running on the physical machine. It is the equivalent concept to VMware's ESX or ESXi products, not their workstation products.
Oracle does not currently have a desktop-based virtualization solution.

  • Newbie Question - what do i need ?

    Hi ... I am an animator and I want to write a soundtrack for my demo reel. I do have some musical background and would like to restart my interest in composing music. Should I go for logic express or just use garage band ? If i stick with garage band I need to get that symphony jam pack. Is there anything similar for logic. I am a complete newb to all of this. I guess i don;t really know what I need. I was thinking a USB midi keyboard, logic express and some kind of sample add-on.
    Thanks everyone !

    oh yeah ... i was also wondering if express has all the quantization tools that pro has. thanks =).

  • Newbye question: what is javax.media.jai ?

    Hello,
    What is javax.media.jai for, and what has it more than java.awt.image?
    I am experiencing difficulties with colormap manipulations in the standard java.awt.image classes, so I'm wondering if javax.media.jai could help.
    Its classes are not in the standard documentation javadoc. If I use it in my project, do I have to warn people downloading that package or is it basically installed in the standard download of jse ?
    thank you

    1. Would this greatly increase load time?That depends on the size of the Jar's, and the speed of the server and client connections (or whatever connection between them is the slowest).
    If you deploy the applet in a 1.6.0_10+ JRE, it can be deployed using web start (while still embedded in the web page). Deploying using web start can offer a number of advantages, such as..
    - Better control of class caching, and even 'lazy' deployment of classes and resources. This latter ability ensures the applet appears on-screen quickly, while downloading other components as needed.
    - Sand-boxed access to the local file-system.
    - The ability to offer different security levels for different application components. (E.G. the JAI Jar's might already be digitally signed with a valid certificate, simplifying matters.)

    2. Can you point me to any good tutorials on setting this up?As an aside, it would help if you had not ignored my earlier question. It was not merely curiosity. If you had answered my question, I might have been able to determine some of the constraints of this deployment. As it is, I am not about to enter a lengthy discussion (or lots of links) covering all the possibilities, so how about you narrow it down by answering my earlier question? (<- as opposed to that one, which was purely rhetorical.)
    And please be as specific as possible. What I am looking for is like the 'feature list' you might see on the box of commercial software. The things that are supposed to make the person think "I +need+ that!".

    Wendy, as a_a has explained, when power is removed, the data is gone.
    If you want to put this problem to rest, remove either of the battery connections; this will assure the data is gone forever!

  • I noticed that Find My iPhone on iCloud hasn't worked since iOS 8 came out. My device uses iOS 7. My question is: do I need to upgrade my device? If not, what should I do? I do not wish to upgrade my device.

    I noticed that Find My iPhone on iCloud hasn't worked since iOS 8 came out. Whenever I try to use it, it always says "All Devices Offline." This is regardless of whether I am in a good Wi-Fi zone or not.  I like to use Find My iPhone to remotely track my battery charging status whenever my phone is charging in a different room. That's been really handy, which is why I really need to get this fixed. No matter what computer I use, the problem is always the same.
    My device uses iOS 7. My question is: do I need to upgrade my device? If not, what should I do? I do not wish to upgrade my device, especially considering the bad things I've heard about iOS 8.
    Feedback would be welcome ASAP.

    You don't need to update to iOS 8 to use Find My iPhone.  If you haven't already tried, go to Settings>iCloud>Find My iPhone and turn it off, then reset your phone (hold the sleep/wake and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release).  After it restarts, turn Find My iPhone back on and see if it works properly now.

  • I have OS 10.8.2 and use wireless at home just fine. When I visit a friend with only a cable modem internet my Mac Book Pro will not connect. What do I need to do?

    I have OS 10.8.2 and use wireless at home just fine.
    When I visit a friend with only a cable modem internet my Mac Book Pro will not connect.
    I see that the Mac Book Pro is picking up the internet when I check the internet preference section but it will not open Safari.
    What do I need to do connect via a cable modem?

    You need to power off the modem for 15-30 seconds, then power back up and then connect. The modem is remembering the last connection (your friend).

  • HT5271 I just updated OSX 10.7.4 and now Safari won't load - what do I need to do to get Safari working again?

    I just updated my operating system to OSX 10.7.4.  Now Safari won't load.
    I ran disc utilities and it still wont load.  It tells me that Safari quit unexpectedly and gives me the option to submit a report of to re-open.
    I have tried to find an updated Safari online but only find 5.1.7 updates for Windows.
    What do I need to do to get Safari back?

    Updating to Safari 6 for Lion may help.
    Click here >  Safari Quits Every Time Opened: Apple Support Communities
    Then click the link posted by:  gregoryfromcork
    That will automatically download this file >  Safari6Lion.pkg.download
    Now quit Safari.
    Go to your Downloads folder and double click that file and follow the instructions for installing.
    Then restart your Mac, try Safari.
    There are no Safari 5.1.7 for Mac standalone downloads available

    I am after some advice on how to access photos on an iPad that were synced from a now failed laptop? The question stems from a need to return my current iPad having just taken delivery of a new unit. Thanks

    If you have a dropbox account, there's a free app (probably more) that syncs photos to your dropbox account - picbox. 
    There's also PhotoSync that syncs photos to/from a number of different services and devices.

    Ask the Verizon store to exchange your iPhone for a different iPhone 4.

    I just got my Mac back from Apple repair and I can't burn a disc. What do I need to do to make that happen?

    Hello deneye2112,
    Thank you for providing the details of the burning issue you are experiencing.  I found some resources that I think might help:
    First, I recommend resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) on your Mac (I wasn't sure if you had a removable battery or a built in battery, so I listed the steps for both):
    Resetting the SMC on Mac portables with a battery you can remove
    Note: Learn about removing the battery on MacBook and MacBook Pro.
    Shut down the computer.
    Disconnect the MagSafe power adapter from the computer, if it's connected.
    Remove the battery.
    Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
    Release the power button.
    Reconnect the battery and MagSafe power adapter.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.
    Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your ownNote: Portable computers that have a battery you should not remove on your own include MacBook Pro (Early 2009) and later, all models of MacBook Air, and MacBook (Late 2009).
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.
    Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.
    You can find the full article here:
