Guide to creating and running VMs

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, Another one, And another, And another
• 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

1. Install VMWare Workstation (now referred to as VMW) and burn TinyXP onto a disk.
2. In VMW, click on New Virtual Machine
3. 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. The steps to setting up a VM are virtually identical.

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

Here: http://www.realtime-vista.com/instal...a_troubles.htm

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

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.

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

downloading the vm software now thx for the tut

do u have to have tinyxp?

Huh? It's on the torrent link above

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

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

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

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

Serial? If you did he would have told you.

Nope no serial

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

edit:i think i got it

Xen pwns Vmware

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

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

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

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

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

lolpie u got mnsn? i need help pl0x

comes up when i try to extract the Archives:(

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

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

Maybe he downloaded a warez copy?

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.

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

The password is there. I just looked at it.

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...

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.
