Hey all. Can anybody tell me how to emulate a cd or dvd on my Envy133 ? My OS is the default Envy133 Windows Vista Business x32. I want to run an interactive language program and don't want to have to always use the eSATA dvd. Thanks.

Daemon Tools is filled with spyware. Use Slysoft Virtual CloneDrive. It has the smallest footprint and works like a charm.

How do I run a Windows virtual machine?

I have a program for my research (Scigress) that only runs on Windows. I would like to be able to run the program on my Mac, I assume the best way to do that is to run a virtual machine. I don't want to run Windows all the time, since I strongly dislike Windows. Is there a way to do this in which I can turn Windows off as soon as I'm done with that program? What would be the best way to do this, or the best app to use? I have a 2009 Macbook with Lion installed.

I apologize, dragon. I didn't fully read your post well before opening my mouth. Sorry, "the ADD" has me (even as a grown man).
You have really two fundamental choices here on where you could take this. My primary concern above all would be "how resource intensive is this Windows software"? I mean, is it like a CAD or other 3D modeling app or otherwise just... monster? Working in the tech field I have seen CAD programs opening a complex drawing nearly bring say... a dual Xeon, 16GB RAM, 2-4GB of VRAM with cards in tandem (Crossfire or SLI in the PC world, I don't know if it's called the same over here)... but it would literally freeze these beasts of workstations solid for 5-20 minutes while opening and rendering some of these mind-blowing CAD drawings (talented guys, no way I could manage to create some of those 3D models of such just... complexity... in a virtual environment).
So-- with that being said, that's worst case scenario on the software. That would pretty much really cripple your luck with virtualization/emulation of a guest OS (that is, the operating system that is running "under the command") of the main one you're running.
If the program is not that kind of one, it would certainly be more convenient to you to just literally almost open "Windows" like it's just another app, literally... and close it/shut it down as soon as you're done, leaving your other OS X desktop work up and running.
If it *is* going to be a resource hog, then your second option is Boot Camp, which I'm sure you've heard of... You basically split the hard drive (partition it) into two segregated areas of storage and literally you can run either/or and utilize the full power of the machine this way, as you're not sharing CPU/memory. The downside, as sort of mentioned-- is that you have to boot into one or the other, it's not a "program" like the other is, almost; so you'd have to "shut down" or use the little utility app at least to reboot into OS X.
Think about your circumstances and take a look at that article comparing or also research Allan's suggestion, that is a new one to me. That will at least get you familiar with what the "experience" of virtualizing operating systems is like... then let us know what you think is best and we can go from there and help you. Sorry about jumping the gun earlier. Hope I made up for it with an abundance of information at least the second time...

How can I run more than one VST on a PC slave running Logic 5.5?

I have moved from PC to Intel Mac (good!) and wish to run several non Intel VST apps from a slave PC running Logic 5.5 (ie Trilogy, Atmosphere).
My question is (and forgive my stupidity if the answer is obvious) how can I address each virtual instrument from the Mac? Currently I operate MidioverLAN CP which enables my PC computer to receive midi but I seem only to be able to access one instrument at a time, not permitting me to run several apps at once.
many thanks in advance for any kind help

Logic 5.5 is not an ideal VST host, as by default, only one virtual instrument is in Live mode, and you can't rig up environment solutions without a large latency (which makes it unusable).
There is a workaround involving putting a bypassed IO plugin on your instrument tracks, and then you can use environment cabling without the large latency (it tricks Logic into putting all instruments in Live mode). Then you'd cable your physical input through a channel splitter and onto the audio instruments to assign each a MIDI channel as has been discussed to death on this forum.
If there isn't a reason you must use Logic 5.5 PC to do this, then there are much better PC VST hosting apps and I recommend looking into them...

How do I run a Java Application on Pocket PC 2003 (iPAQ 2210)

I am writing an application for the iPAQ 2210. It will need to commuunicate over GPRS sending POST requests to a server (I think I will be using the Java.net package) the user interface will be very simple (a few buttons and text boxes) and will capture the data entered and send it back to the server (via the POST HTTP request) and read the response from the POST.
I believe I need to use the Personal Profile version of J2ME and I am only using the classes that it says are supported. How do I run the App on the Pocket PC. Having spoken to HP they have said I shouldn't need a virtual machine and that pocket pc 2003 has one built in! Is this so or should I get myself the Jeode Virtual machine?
Is the Jeode machine the best one?
Sorry to ask so many questions in one go, I'm a little lost at the moment!!
Jon

Hello Jon,
I will suggest you using IBM WSDD. Although it uses its own version of JVM(J9), but it suits to your needs well.
I think you should base your project on foundation profile(as you need some gui as well as java.net).

How can I run a packet sniffer on a Router or Switch

I have on my network several router 1700 series and switches Catalyst 2950 and I want to know how can I run ethereal on those babies to monitore what comes and goes

The two most common methods would be (the old way) insert a hub (not a switch) in-line between the devices withthe traffic you wish to monitor or (the new way, for Cisco anyway) using port mirrroring.
A hub (not a switch) will repeat every pulse that passes on the line to the analyzer.
Since finding a new hub these days is virtually impossible (even some of the things sold as hubs are really switches), the more common way, at least in Cisco environments, is to "SPAN" (aka Port Mirroring) the port of the device whose traffic you'd like to monitor.
Here's the setup guide for a 2950:

How can I create a Virtual Private Nework on my MacBook Pro?

Hello all,
I have a MacBook Pro 17" with OS X 10.4.7. I need to install and run five instances of Apache2 and demonstration the websites without having to be connected to a network/Internet. My /etc/hosts file would look something like:
192.168.21.1 www.local
192.168.21.2 svn.local
192.168.21.3 trac.local
192.168.21.4 jsp.local
192.168.21.5 cfmx.local
Then I could just open up a browser and type www.local in the url locator.
How would I setup a virtual network card where I can assign these IP addresses to it? Would I use the lo0 (loopback) for this?
I also have Parallels installed so that I can run one or more other operating system along side Mac OS X like Windows XP Pro, Redhat, etc.
Is there a way that I could create a virtual private network on my MacBook Pro and not have to be connected to any network?
How would I do this?
Thanks,
Troy Simpson

As it turns out this is exactly what I am looking for:
http://forum.parallels.com/thread1877.html
I want to create a Host-Only Network on my MacBook Pro. The Parallels software created a virtual Network Interface Card on the Host OS called en2. I just added aditional IP Address to this virtual Network Interface Card.
Even if you do not use Parallels for Hosting Guest OS (Virtual Machines), it does create the Virtual Network Interface Card.
Now I have 5 Web Servers on my MacBook Pro so that I can test various senerios and configurations.

Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows 7 or Windows 8. Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows. The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris. It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. A more recent comparison of Parallels, VM Fusion, and Virtual Box is found at Virtualization Benchmarks- Parallels 10 vs. Fusion 7 vs. VirtualBox. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard and later. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

How do i run windows programs on mac

How do i run a windows program on my mac? Is there a particular application for it? or do i need to download and install a virtual windows software? - if so, can anyone suggest any names for software. I've heard about virtual box.

Why ask here instead of the ones for Macbook series, or for Windows on Mac, aka Boot Camp.
VirtualBos is just the VM free for running Windows as guest OS under Mac OS, and then why exclude what or type program? Maybe game that needs to run natively, or that your notebook would have troubke with disk spa e, RAM, or your processor.
Windows runs hotter, too, so that is another concern.
Mire Q's than answers.

How to transfer files from virtual machine to host machine

Hello,
I want to know how to copy files from virtual machine o host machine while the virtual machine running. I can't share files from virtual machine because i am just studying for mcsa in company computer. I can't connect my virtual machine to same network so
i'm using a different ip range and i created a internal network switch for my virtual machines in hyper-v. Please give me a best solution for my studies.
Regards,
Ashane Deshapriya.

Finally I got the solution...
Here is how you can share files between a Hyper-V host and any virtual machines running on that host.
If you've used Microsoft Virtual PC or Microsoft Virtual Server, you'll have enjoyed the fact that you can copy and paste between a virtual machine and those platforms. This doesn’t work with Hyper-V however—you can't copy/paste between a VM and the Hyper-V
host.
The workaround is to do the following:
1. On your Hyper-V host, create a shared folder and assign Change permission to Everyone.
2. On the virtual machine running on the host, open the Network and Sharing Center and enable File and Printer Sharing.
3. On the virtual machine, click Start and type \\host_name\share_name where host_name is the name of your Hyper-V host and share_name is the name of the share you created.
4. Press ENTER and an Explorer window will open in the VM showing the contents of the shared folder on the host.
5. You can now copy files from the VM to the host and vice versa as needed.
Regards.
