Hello Ladies and Gents,
I switched from PC to a Mac Pro 13" and couldn't be happier. I have one little issue. I put Windows XP with VM Warefuision due to having programs that I cannot run with OSX. At first, I could access the internet via the XP side, but now I cannot. I don't know if the driver is gone or something to that effect. Under the "safely remove hardware icon" I accidentally removed one (I think it was the internet driver). I had internet before I did this. I am not very "smart" with computers so ANY help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Well sure, but isn't that like euthanizing a sick dog and buying a new one to solve the problem?

OP: Reinstalling Windows should not be necessary. Let us know how it goes with reinstalling VMWare Tools and we'll go from there.
