Guide to creating and running VMs

[lolpie]

A Virtual Machine is essentially a computer inside of a computer. It's main purpose to us is to allow you to auto on the VM while doing something else like playing a game or chatting, since it doesn't use your mouse or keyboard.

Things you need before you can start:

VMWare Workstation 6 - Illegal. No links for you. Hint: Torrents
TinyXP Beast Edition - Not illegal. Links for you. Download (http://thepiratebay.org/tor/3492757/TinyXP_Beast_Edition_(eXPerience)_06.06.06), Another one (http://thepiratebay.org/tor/3756499/Windows_XP_Pro_Corp._SP2_July_2007_-_Performance_Edition_[Englis), And another (http://thepiratebay.org/tor/3516657/Windows_Xp_Pro_Lite), And another (http://thepiratebay.org/tor/3644249/Windows_Xp_Sp2_Super_Lite_Final__)
A blank CD. If you don't want to burn it to a disk then ignore all of the CD-related steps in this tutorial.
Deepburner (for burning TinyXP onto a CD) - Download (http://deepburner.com/download/DeepBurner1_Portable.zip)






Install VMWare Workstation (now referred to as VMW) and burn TinyXP onto a disk.
In VMW, click on New Virtual Machine
Click:
Custom - Next - Microsoft Windows - Version XP Pro
Number of processors - One, even if you have a dual core machine
Memory to allocate - If you have 1GB or more, then 256MB is fine(TinyXP is a lot less bloated than the original OS)
Use Bridged Networking
Next
Create a new virtual disk
Next
Disk Size - 3GB works fine. Check the first box
Name it something if you want. Hit Finish!





Put the TinyXP CD into your computer and click the Play button to start the VM. If it asks you something about a floppy drive, click on Disconnect or whatever the option is to disable it (because you will never use it).
Install XP. Choose option 1. Choose NTFS (Quick) for the formatting.
After it's installed, change the resolution if you want, start downloading SCAR, Java, etc...





You're done! Now you can auto!
Make sure you install VMTools. To do this, free your mouse, then right click the VM's tab and hit Install VMTools. Now go to My Computer in the VM and start VMTools

Well, I guess that's it. Please post comments and enjoy your autoing! I hope this mini tut helped you guys :). And no, I don't know how to make the autoing mouse visible, nor do I care to because personally I like it that way.

Some notes:
-If Bridged Networking doesn't work for you, try using NAT instead
-Sometimes Bridged will NOT give you a separate IP because some ISPs only allow one IP per household. The only way to fix this is to use a proxy each time you play
-If you don't want to burn the OS onto a disk, then simply go into the VM's settings and set it to boot straight from the ISO instead of the disk.
-If VMW lags for you, try Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=04D26402-3199-48A3-AFA2-2DC0B40A73B6&displaylang=en). The steps to setting up a VM are virtually identical.

[RudeBoiAlex]

ahhh man i need to know were vmware is located and is it for vista anyway nice guide

[lolpie]

Here: http://www.realtime-vista.com/installation/2006/12/vmware_and_vista_troubles.htm

[Bobarkinator]

I'm getting VMW right now and will install it soon. Good tut.

[YoHoJo]

You know you dont need a cd to burn.
You can get just an iso of tiny xp, and mount it to a virtual drive liek Deamon Tools.
Thats saves burning it to a cd.

[lolpie]

I know but I burned it to a CD because Daemon never works for me :(

[jeffreytuner]

downloading the vm software now thx for the tut

[RudeBoiAlex]

do u have to have tinyxp?

[lolpie]

Huh? It's on the torrent link above

[e-man]

nvm i know what is TinyXP
me going try it out now =]

and what if we have VMware-workstation-5.5.2-29772?

[lolpie]

I haven't tried that one, but it should be basically the same...

[e-man]

okie dokie
4 more hours till TinyXP finish downloading :D
is TinyXP like WindowXP and do we need a serial key or w/e

[Santa_Clause]

Serial? If you did he would have told you.

[lolpie]

Nope no serial

[e-man]

it says

The file 'asms' on windows XP professional Service pack 2 CD is needed.


Type the path where the file is located, and then click OK.

what do i need?

[lolpie]

Woops double post, read the newer one

[lolpie]

[QUOTE=lolpie;151348]When does that happen? You should be putting the TinyXP CD in after you've installed the VM...

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=311755

[e-man]

lol i got it to work thx =]
me autoing already lol thx again

[IEatJ00erBaybees]

Good, easy tutorial..but I use Microsoft Virtual Machine..I LOVE IT. It's so much faster than VMWare.

[e-man]

aww i lag =[
i can auto in my virtual machine but i cant auto on real computer

[lolpie]

The whole point of VMs is so you don't auto on your real computer -.-

[e-man]

no i mean so i can auto on both virtual and host
but i found out i needed more RAM because i only have 448 MB of RAM
so i cant auto with both

[RudeBoiAlex]

ermm can u heplp plz that guide to getting vmware on vista is confusing i dont get it

[Dan Cardin]

is there a way to get a free licence thing for vmware?

edit:i think i got it

[Spky]

Xen pwns Vmware

[Here]

Also, Microsoft is giving out their VM software at the moment.

[Dan Cardin]

question about how to do the tinyxp thing-when u open it thers:xPerience,HashCalc, and a bunch of WinRarArchives. and when u do the archives it asks for a serial number. then, what exactly do u need to do to be able to burn it...im so sad...someone add me on msn,aim, or yahoo so i dont haveto wait for posts please

[lolpie]

You extract the .rar archives and it should spit out an iso. Then burn the ISO to a disk using Deepburner and you're all set

[shaunthasheep]

on Microsoft Virtual Machine you can just mount .iso's :p

[Dan Cardin]

i tried extracting 1 and used a pass 'admin', but there was nothing in the folder

[RudeBoiAlex]

lolpie u got mnsn? i need help pl0x

[Dan Cardin]

http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/2775/zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzfa1.png (http://imageshack.us)
comes up when i try to extract the Archives:(

[Here]

Looks like you downloaded a stupid one. Look for better torrents, or the password should be on the site somewhere.

[lolpie]

Ya, the original one didn't have any passwords.

Also I tried Microsoft's VM but it sucks for me. Stays at the loading screen saying DHCP...etc and doesn't do anything.

rudeboi: Yeah, it's in my profile. Add me

[Here]

Maybe he downloaded a warez copy?

[lolpie]

dan cardin give me the link to where to you downloaded it from. I suggest you download Beast edition because it's so small

Here: Probably, there's only 1 copy floating around on torrents and there's no password on it.

[Dan Cardin]

i downloaded the 1 that u have at the top of the page :(

[lolpie]

The password is there. I just looked at it.

[lolpie]

Hey guys, are you getting a seperate IPs in the VM and the actual computer? I forgot to check that. Because I'm not and I'm pretty sure I had before...

[Here]

You do not get separate IPs if you are behind a router. I'm not sure what would happen if you were directly connected to the modem.

[lolpie]

What if I go into the router settings page and add a seperate IP? Then assign the VM computer that IP? Let me try that.

[sherlockmeister]

to see mouse after you are running script press "alt+f4" (must free input first!!!)
and choose "run in background". then press "winkey+r" and type in "vmware" (without quotes) and press "ok". you should be able to see mouse now.

[lolpie]

Updated with a better version of TinyXP that lags a lot less on slower computers.

[Dan Cardin]

can u go on aim or msn so that i can talk to u about the tiny xp beast edition thing?

[Here]

Beast is 142 mb. It's AMAZINGLY fast. You have nothing to lose.

[Dan Cardin]

no...the unpacking thing...i dont know what to unpack(cuz theres like 50 archives) and how to get it to being able to be burnt

and i think itll take more than 1 post

[lolpie]

Beast is 142 mb. It's AMAZINGLY fast. You have nothing to lose.

I thought you were a WINBLOWS hater?


no...the unpacking thing...i dont know what to unpack(cuz theres like 50 archives) and how to get it to being able to be burnt

and i think itll take more than 1 post

Ok, I've been trying to get on MSN but my computer is being gay so I can't.

If it's a ton of archives, just right click on any one of them and choose Extract Here. To burn it, download Deepburner (linked in the tut), the rest is pretty simple to understand in the program

[Dan Cardin]

actually i'd like to use daemon(cuz i dont have any more blank cds and i dont have any money at the moment), but i dont know how

EDIT: and i tried to burn but it failed

[lolpie]

actually i'd like to use daemon(cuz i dont have any more blank cds and i dont have any money at the moment), but i dont know how

EDIT: and i tried to burn but it failed

I got it...make your VM, then click on Edit virtual machine settings. Then click on CD-ROM and choose the option that says use ISO image. Browse to your ISO and it should load it :)

[Dan Cardin]

i cant get on the internet on my vm:(so many problems

[Here]

I thought you were a WINBLOWS hater?

I thought I made it clear that I hated WinBLOATS.

[lolpie]

i cant get on the internet on my vm:(so many problems

It should have auto connected...are you using Bridged networking? And both of your OS's should be Windows XP

[Dan Cardin]

yes to both it says bridged network, but it also says limited or no connection, and yes both are xp

does the fact that i did NTFS (not the quick 1) make a difference?

[lolpie]

No that shouldn't affect your network at all. What's your network speed? Since it says Limited/No connection I'm thinking you're on a slow connection...

[Dan Cardin]

uhhh,well...yea how do i find that out??

That's weird...try MS Virtual PC 2007 and see if that works for you

[billben]

kinda new here i downlaod VMware and tiny xp beast edition i mounted the iso and when i told the virtul machine to boot from it it strated running the xp installation then blue screened any ideas?

[Dan Cardin]

sry but i have no clue mine wont get past the 'welcome' screen:(...which is why im posting...do i do the same thing with MS Virtual PC 2007(and will it work with home edition(it says only prof.))? and how do i delete vms?

[lolpie]

billben what's the blue screen say?

dan: Yeah it's pretty much the same...I'm guessing your computer just isn't fast enough if it won't go past the Welcome screen. What're your specs? You delete VMs by going into My Docs > My Virtual Machines, then right click it and delete.

[Dan Cardin]

oh i thought that you'd have to do something special cuz u allotted a max memory or whatever for it...and uhh, about the whole specs thing...how do i find that?(u can tell that i dont know much about computors:p)

[lolpie]

Start Menu > Right click on My Computer

[billben]

[img=http://img118.imageshack.us/img118/2407/untitlediy0.th.jpg] (http://img118.imageshack.us/my.php?image=untitlediy0.jpg)



theres a pic of my error

[Dan Cardin]

what do u want like this:Windows XP Home Edition
emachines t6212
AMD Athlon(tm) 64 processor
3200+
1.99 GHz, 384MB of RAM

so yea will the windows VM work even though its supposed to be for prof. edition? and which 1(32 or 64)? im guessing 64 (
64 processor)

[lolpie]

The problem is your RAM. XP Takes 128MB, so you only have 256MB left. Now add a VM which takes even more memory...that's why it won't go past the Welcome screen. You should upgrade to at least 512. RAM is really cheap nowadays

[Dan Cardin]

so once i get more RAM thatll be solved...only problem now is that my internet didnt work(though i only got on my vm once...)

[lolpie]

Yep

How do you connect to the internet? Through a router?

[Dan Cardin]

ethernet cable(thats what its called right? my parent are too cheap to buy a router

[cyclone2527]

I can't get the internet access to work either, I'm using Wireless on the host PC and bridged on the virtual

[lolpie]

Does it give you any errors? What OS is your host PC?

[cyclone2527]

I am using Windows XP Home as host and Windows XP Home as VM. I have wireless PCI network adapter, and can get the VM to connect to the internet using NAT (which I believe means that both have the same IP address)

[sherlockmeister]

if you do not have a router then you must use nat, idk why. i know this because i used a bridged network until my router broke and then only nat worked.

[klh6686]

i've tried the vmware thing, i used tinyxp rev 06 and for some reason runescape lags. its a weird lag though, like when it lags on my main comp, it freezes for a sec then comes back. On the tinyxp install (on tinyxp and the VM) it is almost unresponsive, its as if i was emulating a processor and its not running up to speed. its smooth, but its like 75% as speed and responsive as my main OS install.

The way i set it up was i put a fresh install of tinyxp on a new partition, then i installed vmware and tinyxp on it, the whole thing with VM running used less than 400mb, i have 512.

I may try another stripped version of xp tho and report back.

[lolpie]

I get that sometimes. The only way to fix it is to put more RAM in the VM. Try adding another 512MB stick to your computer

[klh6686]

well what i was talking about happened in tinyxp w/o the vm running. when i switched back to my retail install it works responsively and perfectly. it might just be an issue w/ my install.

[darky]

May I ask how you install TinyXP without a cd?

No probs if yah can't :D

[lolpie]

After you set up the VM, click on Edit this VM, then go to CD-ROM, then select the option to boot using an .iso, etc...

[darky]

Thanks so much! Help much appreciated but i'm just too confused.. I Don't want to be a hassle so i'll try and work things out myself a bit more :D

Don't wanna be a hassle now do I!

[Xtream]

Can i run multiple virtual machines with this? Cuz i got a shitload of ram:D

[n3ss3s]

lolpie, I have the CD IDE using the tinyxp iso, but first time I ran the VM, it got to sum blue screen, when you had to use ENTER, D and something (I think) to select options but it didnt do anything when I pressed. Now, it wont even get to the blue screen, it only stays in the black one with a "-" in the top left corner after it has loaded the first lil gray loadin bar right in the start... :(

[lolpie]

You were at the formatting screen. Are you loading from an iso or from a disc?

[n3ss3s]

iso..

[lolpie]

So basically it won't go to the formatting screen anymore? I'm confused...

[n3ss3s]

Yes, let me take a pic.
Ill post here then..

Yeah, when I start it, it loads the gray loading bar like in rs the gray thing, and then it stops to the thing in image.
http://img410.imageshack.us/img410/5213/vmlz3.png

[lolpie]

Where did you download the iso from? Looks like it got corrupted or something. Try DLing it again.

[n3ss3s]

Yeah I'll do that.

[Eicca]

I don't get it why don't you just download daemon tools and mount the tinyxp.iso to the program and you will save a cd and the burning job? :P

[Krispy101]

NO! Don't use Daemon Tools!

I tried that and PowerISO and Failed!

**TUT: For Using an ISO as a disc in VMW without using an external program*

1)Click on VM at the top..
2) Click on Settings
3) Click on CD Drive
4) it should either be on Auto-detect or the drive you're currently using =]
5)Instead, click Use ISO at the bottom!
6) Select your ISO (TinyXP Beast Edition)
7) Click OK Twice
8) Click play and all should be normal =]
9)ENJOY!

**EDIT**

Also, Not working on Vista? Getting application error 0x80004003 (or any other) messages?

Have no fear! Look here;

**TUT**
1) Unzip Folder
2) Ignore the .bat files for now.
3) Run subinacl.exe
4) Run vmware.6.0_0x80004003_reg_fix.bat (NOT the vmware.5 one!)
5) Try running VMW again after running these, and it should work =] Then you can install your OS =]

[Diablo1123]

You can always download the VMWare Workstation Trial Legally
Or someone could provide the virutal PC, VMWare player is free :)

My computer can support 2 Virutal Pcs and the regualr pc

[Light]

Great tutorial! Easy to understand, I already have it all setup.


Now I need even more accounts! lol

[1qaz]

im autoing again yipee nice tut man

[ttoast]

this has helped me a lot thanks man !:(h):

[munchkinruss]

Thanks for this! I will try it on my XP comp

[wonly]

i attempted to run a vm one time and it was much more complicated than that very good, nice and easy after i had software didn't take much time at all to get it up and running

[munchkinruss]

Thanks so much for posting that tut =D Every part was straight forward and easy to understand.

[cptn]

Thanks working fine for me :}

[Krispy101]

Again, sorry I forgot to say thanks :P

[lolpie]

Added some minor updates, etc. I added links to torrents that had lots of sources so you can actually download the isos

[RudeBoiAlex]

idc if this is a bump but i click install vmware tools it never does it just stays there saying cancel vmw tools install

[lolpie]

In the VM, go to My Computer. There should be a CD drive that you can click on...try that

[RudeBoiAlex]

i cant find the cd drive :|

[HellBoyz]

Power off your vm in first hand and right click your fav machine and choose setting you will find the cd drive there

[RudeBoiAlex]

Thanks but i found out why i dont even have my computer on my vm.

i got tinyxp ebeast edition burn onto a disc and its iso, then i use that it still just says you do not a vmware tools all i got is a blank black screen

[lolpie]

You take the CD out after Beast is installed, then click on Install VM Tools from the menu, then click on My Computer (inside the VM), and find the drive labeled VM Tools or something like that

[RudeBoiAlex]

Thanks i gonna try that in a min (when my other comps intenet gets back up)

EDIT: i try that then it says tinxp beast edition does not exist help pl0x :D

[RudeBoiAlex]

soz for double post but how do you install tinyxp?

[das terminator]

As in the tut, you use virtual drives (some good ones are daemon tools and alcohol 120%. Google)

It's best to install them IN the virtual machine. Then mount the iso or whatever image you downloaded.

PS: Lolpie, want a 1 on 1 on UT99 LOL ;)

[[-jesus-]]

THANK YOU LOLPIE!!!!!! :p. Works great! & your tut was easy to follow ;). Also: Can you have 2 VM's running at the same time + your normal comp?

How do I make the screen for VM bigger though?:
http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/7194/07oct15024149cs4.jpg

[Jonnee]

Nice tutorial dude! Thanks a lot for this! :)

+Respect

[das terminator]

@ jesus you probably can, but with every VM your CPU and RAM usage gets higher, I would not recommend it if you want to run your main OS lag free (unless you have a quad core processor and 2gig RAM ofcourse)

For fullscreen use ctrl alt and enter ;). You also may to need to change the screen resolution

@ Lolpie nice guide, just a tip, you can generate a serial key for a 30 day trial while you use bittorrent to download VMware. Other possibility that if the serial comes in a seperate file in the bittorrent, download only that file and just download the program from the main site (post link soon for both)

[Jonnee]

Problem Solved.

[[-jesus-]]

That just black out the surrounding areas, how do I make the VM's "Monitor" bigger? so its like a regular comp & not shrunk down.

Edit: Nvm, I fixed it ;)

[RudeBoiAlex]

I still need help :(

i still only gots a blank black screen

[weequ]

Thank you :)

[HellBoyz]

you can still try this below

1. Select your vm.
2. Right click it and select settings
3. select CD-ROM
4. Under Connection tab select Use ISO image
5. Click Browse and find your tinyxp Beast ISO
6. Click OK.
7. Press Play button for vm to install.
8. After Full complete installation.
9. When you see your tinyXP
10. Right Click your VM Workstation on top
11. Select VMware Tools
12. Wait for your cdrom disconnect and re-connect at the bottom of icon
13. In TinyXP windows -> goto your my computer
14. check whether you have your vmware tools cd in drive d:
15. double click the cdrom or open the cdrom adn choose the setup file.
16. you will prompt to restart the pc
17. after restart your work done.

All system update complete. lol

[FrÕzÑ_§ÕµL]

Sweet thanks sooo much! +Rep! Only problem is that my download site is a 3 part .rar archive cause its so big... and rapidshare won't let you download anymore than a certain amount in a certain amount of time... so after the first part (99mb) i gotta wait 207 minutes! NVM I trying to get an IP changer to bypass the limit hehe. Thanks again you ROCK!

[RudeBoiAlex]

NOOOOOOOOOOO my vmware got deleted now i gotta install again

thanks hell for the great mini tut :D
edit: it still stays as a blank black screen should i try waiting a few mins?

[HellBoyz]

It do depend on your computer speed I'm curious why it still blank screen

[RudeBoiAlex]

well im gonna leave on for like 20 mins starting from now see if its still a blank black screen

[RudeBoiAlex]

now i just get a blue error message when its installing :(

[[-jesus-]]

now i just get a blue error message when its installing :(

=/ ^^.

LolPie: Do you know why my VM Tools wont stay downloaded? Every time I re-open the VM I have to download again.

[HellBoyz]

now i just get a blue error message when its installing :(

BLUE? wow thats was bad. possible of memory not enough or something

[RudeBoiAlex]

is says there isnt and hard drive disks and i donwloaded tiny xp ok then i find the download location and use that as the hard drive thing and that never works but then when i use it in my disk drive thing it gets up to the install screen then the blue error happens,

pic:

[lolpie]

;243286']=/ ^^.

LolPie: Do you know why my VM Tools wont stay downloaded? Every time I re-open the VM I have to download again.

When you click on download VM Tools, you have to go to My Computer inside of the VM, then double click on the CD-drive. It launches the program from there.

[Nikize]

Am i the only one whose antivirus ( Avast 4.7 Pro ) says that it contains a trojan in /system32 ( most essential part for OS to work ) ?

[RudeBoiAlex]

Am i ever going ot be able to get a vm on vista?

[richk1693]

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y251/richk1693/21.jpg

[das terminator]

Well I have tried running 2 VM's. IT doesn't run very well (probably because it's my laptop with a shit video card) but it works nontheless, probably only at 3/4 of the speed but ohh wel, in the end if you add up its 1 1/2 :p.
When running 2 chatting like msn, music and internet still work, but you can forget games (UT,CSS anyone).

Recommended settings for 2;

1 processor,
3GB harddisk (best to Preallocate)
256MB RAM

I would recommend to only run 2 when your PC really can handle it (without letting your video card go to 61 degrees Celsius but meh xD)

[nickisfat]

thats decent lol

[nefar]

Couldn't find anyone serving with the torrent for tinyxp but found someone on packetnews with it. Very nice. I had heard of a tweaked xp version but never got around finding it till now. So much of a space saver.

[Nikize]

Dudes, is there a virus or not ( or maybe you just dont have AVs? )?
Two guys have now detected a trojan in system32, which means deleting ( it cannot be repaired ) it may result in OS to brake ( worst case it wont start ).

[HellBoyz]

Hmm, i haven't found any of this, but wait why install AV in your VM? If the vm serve for auto purpose then don't install it. It won't effect your main pc unless you have oopen up the share folder

[Nikize]

Dude, i ment you would scan the VMW.iso file, not installed station.

[Nikize]

Hmm virtual internet doesnt seem to work.
So by default, it doesnt work, and NAT also.
Im using LAN, but i have also wireless, but i concider LAN much more faster, so if anyone could tell me how to check internet settings and setup them correctly, i would appreciate it really much ( i wouldnt think i would be the only one ).

please help, as soon as you can,

-Nikize

P.S Lolpie, you could add it to your tutorial.

[kinkeriix]

NAT internet in my VMs have always worked. Just make sure you restarted your computer after installing the VMware software, and in the 'guest' OS, make sure it gets an IP using dhcp.

[[-jesus-]]

When you click on download VM Tools, you have to go to My Computer inside of the VM, then double click on the CD-drive. It launches the program from there.

Thanks!! :D

Wait.. Just got this:

No it won't mess up others don't worry.

[Nebuli]

This helped me sooo much :) thanks!:sasmokin:

[matto]

thanks for sharing. this was a useful tut. For people who are looking for the illegal program, *hint* warez, torrents...

[omg...]

is this vm thing rlly as good as some ppl say?

[lolpie]

-It lets you trade items between accounts without being detected
-You can auto and do other stuff o your computer at the same time

You decide :D

[mark9510]

well vmware has a option to use an iso to make a vm just rightclick the harddrive icon on vmware and look for the option

[Twisted]

I downloaded VMware station 6, but it asks for a serial key... is there something I did wrong? Also, I've seen some things called "keygens" am I supposed have got that with the VMware?

[lolpie]

Not sure which torrent you downloaded, but the one I posted comes with a keygen. If yours is different, then look for a ZWT keygen on torrent sites

[the scar noob]

I can only find a 30 free trial version, damn it:(

-Tsn.

[Twisted]

Ok, well I was at the piratebay or whatever and found the workstation 6 with keygen.. Is this what i was supposed to get? It's downloading right now.

EDIT: Nevermind, I got it now. It's downloading the XP right now.

[dritar]

i didnt use tinyxp, i used siemens windows xp home editition cd and it worked perfectly, thanks for good tut

[dritar]

:( it freezed when "installing devices" and it says 33mins removing but i waited 33 minutes and its still same

[Twisted]

ON your cd? Or TinyXP? I like TinyXP because its a small file = less memory to use up on "Hard Drive"

[proresearch]

i have vm ware 6.0 legit serial key i purchased, i will email to anyone, just send me email to proresearch@gmail.com then you can download it from wmware.com.

[VonKnorring]

Nice guide, currently im using Virtual PC 2007 from microsoft instead of VMW, but its basicly the same. First I tried off with Win98 but couldnt get more than 640*480 on 32bit colour, so now im going to try out Tiny XP.
And really simple since you can just load the ISO file directly in the computer without burning it.

Make sure you install VMW Tools so you can get a higher resolution

[corl455]

im using Microsoft Virtual Machine 2007 too, you can get it free of the microsoft site..
but ive got bitzip, and i downloaded the tiny xp torrent, but its not downloading (ive never worked with torrents) i open the 11kb file i download from piratebay, then i wait, and the thing just turns red and say unknown everything exept size...

[lolpie]

Try using Bitlord or something, that usually gets much faster speeds

[corl455]

ok, ill try that, but leme clear this up. i torrent is a file that a client uses to download the actual file from another site?

[HellBoyz]

torrent file is a community sharing file which share download among the community use a program called bittorrent or bitcomet or Flashget

lolpie, help me i got the xp in .iso file, what i need to do next?

[deathie]

Thanks for typing this guide up.

[lolpie]

lolpie, help me i got the xp in .iso file, what i need to do next?

After you make the VM, go to "Edit this VM's settings"
Scroll down to the CD drive options
Check the option to use an iso
Browse to the iso
Click on, then start the VM

[dritar]

Thank you very much! But will it lagg the normal system then?

[lolpie]

Depends...what are the computer specs

[corl455]

so if it depends on specs, here my specs, think ill lag?:
512mb ram
1.5mgh proccesser pentum M(for laptops)
anything else you need, just ask.

[lolpie]

Yeah, it'll definately lag both the VM and the main PC. I would recommend running the VM at 200 RAM

[julian0]

thx for ur help.

[chulo92]

but if i take vm off it will unlag my pc?

[lolpie]

Yar

[03699]

Im using microsoft VM and how can i extend the window size so i can see the whole of runescape instead of half a picture?

[mark9510]

im to lazy to do the math right now so if i want to run 12vms for a 24hour period without lagging how much ram and harddrive space do i need

[lolpie]

12 VMs? You would need around 8 gigs of RAM

[03699]

lol pie can you please answer my question

[HellBoyz]

im to lazy to do the math right now so if i want to run 12vms for a 24hour period without lagging how much ram and harddrive space do i need

I think it would be nice to run a spec as below

Intel Xeon C2D 3.66 Processor - 2 unit under blade server
4 - 8Gb ddr3 ram
1 tera scsi hdd

with this you will definitely running 20++ of it (imagine the speed. lol)

[lolpie]

lol pie can you please answer my question

Well I've never used Microsoft Virtual PC so I have no clue. The option should be pretty much the same though...(Edit > Settings > Display)

[HellBoyz]

03699: Probably you will need to set your host display to 1024 x 768 and your VPC to 800 x 600

[03699]

ok, ill try that

Edit: Thanks it worked very helpful

[HellBoyz]

Gratz you on your track in VM world now

[man slaughter]

VMWare Workstation 6 - Illegal. No links for you. Hint: Torrents

your cracking me up. thanks for the tut. i am a true wannabe IT and i hadn't thought of this all though i had read about it.

[Lacky]

A8HC7-1GGR0-E4PD4-4T694

The Serial Number For VMWare Workstation 6.X - Should Work. I haven't tested it yet.

For the Microsoft one, 32 Bit or 64 Bit should I download?

[HellBoyz]

You should get a tinyxp for it

[Lacky]

I am. I am just saying though, Which one should I get if TinyXP lags?

[Lacky]

Sorry for double post, but, does this reformat your computer? You say something about that, then say start download Scar and Java etc.

[lolpie]

Sorry for double post, but, does this reformat your computer? You say something about that, then say start download Scar and Java etc.

Nope it doesn't reformat. It's for the OS inside of VMW


I am. I am just saying though, Which one should I get if TinyXP lags?

TinyXP Beast is pretty much the fastest OS out there right now. If that lags, then I don't think anything else will work

[Lacky]

Alright. What do I do? I try to burn the iso to a cd with deepburner, but when I click on erase (since next is greyed out) it says "This medium cannot be erased" or something.

And you said I can run it without burning, what and how do I do it and what do I have to do? It says it doesn't know what type of file to open the iso with. What do I do?

[[S]paz]

basically ur cd or dvd is -r so its not rewritable ... u dont have to burn it.. i didnt

when vmware is open click setting under VM and go to the second tab

at the bottom there is a place where u can browse the dir of the iso or make it read form disk

hope that helps :)

Everyone, WATCH WHERE YOU ARE DOWNLOADING FROM OR ELSE. I downloaded VMware from the first listing, think it is b.oux.com or around that. Internet stopped working next day. Next week I struggled to get my computer working when in fact it was a dataminer. A level 9 out of 10 threat from ad aware. Worst of all, I had to do a COMPLETE SYSTEM RESTORE just to fix this, aka back to square one. This caused me so much trouble, everyone be VERY careful with sites that look fishy.

[supadude]

thanks for the guide i've downloaded VMW but i cant find tiny xp beast edition not sure how torrents work fully downloaded that one you put link for it opened it in limewire and said connecting for like 4 hours where can you add a non-torrent link to tinyxp or show me how to dl it?

EDIT: dw got it dling now

[supadude]

ok i downloaded bittorrent and im downloading tinyxp off that torrent on pirate bay its going a bit slow but thanks it'll get there its just guna take like an hour and a half thats all

Yeh, I asked my dad, and he said exactly the same thing that it was only a cdr not a cdwr. I have it working now, I just looked around yesterday. ^^ I just booted within VMWare. In my opinion, it's better as you can just leave the setting instead of having to run from CD. Although, it would be good for portable use.

I doubt that if you got it from here, then it would screw you up. You probably clicked on something else. Because I downloaded it all (but tinyxp which I found a clean torrent for) here and nothing happened.

You should also scan files. :p ^^

I have a link for the tinyxp beast edition, but I see you have it dling lol.


ok i downloaded bittorrent and im downloading tinyxp off that torrent on pirate bay its going a bit slow but thanks it'll get there its just guna take like an hour and a half thats all

Mine was a bit slow, because of all the stuff I had open, but actually, I was amazed at how fast it did download though. It was pretty quick for about 250mb! I read somewhere that supposedly it was a fast download as well...Downloading on BitTorrent FTW! :spot:

Virtual Machines are cool! Lolpie, you are god! lol I set the thing to 3gb hard drive, about 224mb ram, and it doesnt lag at all! Only when I run scar and RS it only lags the tiniest bit, it is awesome!!!

One thing though, even though I shouldn't need to, can I change the 3gb thing to about 5gp without reformatting etc.? And does it take gb from my normal hard drive? I dont think it does, because I had less than 3gb left on my 20gb hard drive when I first installed. I only have about 1-2gb left though because of all the components. So it's pretty good ^^. :p

[HellBoyz]

Well it do consume some space in your host Hdd proximately 1-2gb and resize hdd will be considering re-format the whole damn thing but the other benefit was you can try clone then instead of install for multiple tinyxp for multiple autos usage

[gamer716]

nice guide thanks

Sorry, can you explain that in stupid dumb peoples english language please? :p

Oh, and for all those Vista Users out there, I have found a link that might tell you something about it, I think it did:

http://www.vmware.com/pdf/ws6_manual.pdf - Clicky



On another related note, I think I can do other stuff on my virtual machine while autoing. Yesterday when I autoed on it for the first time, it actually moved the mouse on the VM, now it moves an "invisible" mouse and I can move the VM mouse around...it's odd...but I haven't tested it yet as it might screw it up (and I don't want that to happen :p).

Lol. ok the more stupid damn english style, do not try to to resize the vm client hard disk and it would not happen...

use the VM ware clone service to add more client instead of re-create and install client

Mouse feature do exists in vm client but invisible to your eye use ctrl + alt to let loose the mouse on vm client and to prevent you miss click anything same like when you run scar on your host.

What Virtual machine program are you running? VMware, VPC, VirtualBox?


I know the error is due to you not either creating the HDD in the program or not setting the VM up with the HDD you created.

Maybe you could hop on MSN someday and I could help you there.

I noticed you screaming you have problems and I have been checking if you have been on for a day or so now, to help you.

[RudeBoiAlex]

im coming on msn now im using VMware

[Zezi]

I once had VM ware installed, then shupidly un installed it when i thought autoing was no longer possible XD

Thanks very much for reminding me about this ! :O

[Tri]

AWESOME

VERY VERY VERY GOOD

Now I can macro and make scripts at the same time hehehe...

VERY good tutorial

[RobotGangsta]

Awesome tutorial. Didn't know a program like this even existed..

[sovuf]

Sweet guide! I found it very useful. Thanks! :D

[Toncster]

Uhh, what is VM's?

[TheGhostofChristmasPast]

how can i check if its getting diff ips? just form like logging into rs and such?

how can I use proxies.. i just go into internet options right?

[brave]

Is there a way to move files from my Computer to my VM ? What i want to copy over is my scar folder is it possible ?

[mark9510]

okay i have a thread about this but barely any people answer so if i get a computer with 2ghz dual core and around 4gb ram maybe 2gb how many vms will i be able to hold and maintain a good virtual pc without lag and run microsoft word and firefox on the host

[Swift]

You can run about 10 VMs with 4gb ram.

[nhstarter10]

My computer is
Intel(R)
Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz
2.79 GHz, 512 MB of RAM
I am currently running Microsoft Virtual PC but if I try and auto on both the VM and my host I lag slightly... making it possible to auto (i guess) but not as fast as I would like it to be. Do you think that if I run VMware instead of Microsoft then I would lag less? or maybe not lag at all if I'm trying to auto on both my host and VM?

[lolpie]

I don't think switching programs will make a difference...your best bet is to add more RAM.

[Negaal]

Pretty nice guide, i'm curently installing MS VM, but witch one is better then VMW or MS VM, why do you prefer VMW lolpie ?

Thx for nice guide to Swift too!

[Versace]

I'm running vista, (specs in sig) would it be possible to install VMW and then use tiny xp also? It would be like having an xp system inside a vista system right? I've never worked with VMs before, but it seems like this would be easier than installing vista inside vista (don't know of any "tinyVista").

[lolpie]

Either one is fine, but some people say MSVM lags less on their computer, so it's up to you.

Don't worry, you'll be able to install VMW and TinyXP...I have a C2D @ 1.8GHz and 2GB of RAM, and I can run 2 VMs without any lag.

[Versace]

This thing is sweet. I just downloaded MS Virtual PC because it was free. Installing Tiny XP on it now. Really easy to do thanks for the tut!

[Hugolord]

I keep getting this error when im trying to install VMware, says it was stopped and couldn't finish installing.

Does anyone know how to fix this??

[napper]

is it supposed to take a pretty long time for xp to download when ur running vm?

[TheGhostofChristmasPast]

how does this allow you to auto on two accts at once or to auto on the vm and surf on your regular one, for me the mouse is stuck in either, or i can make it be able to go back and forth between the two... the thing is tho the cursor isn't free for the last one

btw i'm using ms virtual 07

[macromacro123]

when i run it it says i need a serial number?

[Chaosis]

Could someone PM me about how to get VMware Workstation 6, I have downloaded some of their other programs befor but...... $189!!!

Also how many VM's might I be able to run with a quad-core w/ 3GB ram? Yes, be very jealous! HEHEHE!!!

[lolpie]

when i run it it says i need a serial number?

The torrent should have come with a keygen...try that.

I can run 2 on mine while playing CS source or Oblivion, and I have a C2D E4300 w/ 2GB...my guess would be 5 or 6 on yours

[Chaosis]

Thanks. I found a keygen... I want to be able to run 10 bots at once, so I might buy some flash drives and use them as RAM, I believe I read how to do that somewhere.....

Great guide though!

I cannot find out how to make a .ISO bootable disk. I have all the stuff (VMware Workstaion 6, TinyXP, DeepBurner, disks, and keygen.

I first register VMware WS6, then I load DeepBurner, I choose make a .ISO disk, I locate TinyXP.torrent, then I burn the disk, then I set up a new VM with XP Pro, then I load the VM and it goes to some black screen and says nothing useful.

What am I doing wrong?!?! I did this stuff alot with Linux a year ago, but I forget and I wasnt using a .torrent file. The only thing I remember is it took me about a month to get it to work. lol.

There's no need to burn it to a disk. Just have the iso somewhere on your computer, then create the workstation. Go to Edit Settings, find the settings for CD drives, then make it boot the iso.

[Chaosis]

Thank you for answering my question, I am going to look at running other operation systems, maybe this wornt work for me.... Before I do I am going to look at the tinyxp website...

[I B X R]

Do you think a pc with only 448 MB of ram can support VMware?

[yerda]

Thank you so much. I can't thank you enough omfg.

I never knew this was possible!!! Ttytytyty.

[TurtleVVisperer]

Do virtual machines need an anti-virus installed on them to be safe or does the host computer's anti-virus take care of that?

[I B X R]

Hey. Uhh, how do I burn that first link your gave me for tiny xp to a cd. I also tried downloadin, but then it just opened limewire... and was really slow, man, and I used to think I was computer literate. Lol :o

[lolpie]

You don't need to burn it TinyXp to a CD. Just create the VM, then go to Edit Settings -> CD-drives -> set it to boot from an iso -> browse to the TinyXP iso


Do virtual machines need an anti-virus installed on them to be safe or does the host computer's anti-virus take care of that?

You shouldn't need an antivirus on your VM...I mean, all you're doing is autoing on RS, right? The host AV won't take care of the problem since the entire VM is just one big file.

[I B X R]

Yeah, well, I didn't download tiny xp, when I started to download it, it opended limewire and was taken for ever!

Do I need to download bitcomet?

[lolpie]

If limewire isn't working, then yeah

[I B X R]

Ok...

[Rora]

you know when you have to burn the tinyXp onto 5a cd... can you use a memory stick?

[Rora]

wait i cant find the settings to change the thing to boot... i clicked on edit virtual machine settings but it doesnt show it there :-(

[bballer]

It took 4 hours t o get wvm, How can I use my windows xp and vista Cd I already have?

Also, Can i use a mac os with this?

[firefoxx]

thx great tut.Ill be using this

[tokkar]

I successfully setup a virtual machine thanks to this guide. its up and autoing as i write this.;) Thanks alot for the guide, its a great walkthrough.
