Need more help!!

Post by MasterKojito »

Okay, I need some more help! Now Im using a Mac and I have installed Vmware Fusion which allows me to run a virtual machine. This means I can play SRO through windows. I have installed silkroad, it updated and was working fine. I pressed start and game guard opened and then the client (and the little sig like loader) opens. When the client opens up the mem usage starts increasing and stops at 275,504 k and the loader stays there and the client doesn't open. Please help!

Was there a specific reason you went with a VM instead of creating a dual boot and just putting Windows on a seperate partition? It would be a lot less intensive on the hardware. If you're using Leopard, boot camp is included with it and it's a pretty straightforward process. Since it's a new Mac I think Leopard is included with it. It might not be installed, but it could be a seperate disc they gave you.

alright then, i would say for this case a VM wouldnt be the best thing try going with a multi partition for windows/mac, as myx said it would put less strain on the hardware and also but allot easier for you to deal with.
