[QUOTE="BigBoy, post: 762944, member: 75767"] Hi there fellow Mac users :) I have recently put Windows OME on my MacBook using VMWare Fusion. I have a software program that I [B]need[/B] to install that is only Windows compatible. When I insert it in the drive.... NOTHING happens! I can hear the disc spinning, but nothing appears on the screen. (does not autoplay) I have inserted the same disc on another PC and it's fine. However, when I go into '[I]My Computer[/I]" (on my virtual PC on my MacBook) I can see that it has recognized the CD as the name of the software appears on the CD Drive icon. I am at my wits end. I changed to Mac to rid myself of this kind of thing. But it still haunts me. Can anyone help? P.S... Please explain it to me like I am a five year old. I have limited knowledge of the workings of a computer. Thanks in advance BigBoy :) [/QUOTE]
