VMware probs

Hello
I have the new MBP 15 inch.

I have windows XP boot camped on a partion of my harddisc, it works fine, the only problem is that the battery life is only 1.19 minutes in XP and 6 hours in OSX.

I therefor purchased VMware and installed it using my already installed XP partion.

It works perfectly, but the only problem is that my windows XP is legal and activated, but every time I turn on the computer and open VMware in OSX, windows and other programs thats got a license, has lost it. And I need to get a new one.

How come?
Does anybody know the solution to this problem.

No solution. You need to activate XP again from the VM. It certainly is a pain in the *** trying to cope with Microsoft's draconian anti-piracy schemes, but that's just the way it is.

If it won't activate automatically over the web connection, use the 800 call number and get the activation key that way.

BTW, I still don't understand why you can not get more than 1 hour or so from the battery while in XP. Something's not right, you should get at least 2 hours or more. You need to look into that further.

Regards.
