    Virtual machine challenges!


    Can someone please give me some advice? I installed a Virtual Machine on my system, no problem! The 1'st issue is that I can't seem to get aero enabled, the second is that I can't see any other hard drives or folders within the Virtual Machine. I would like to be able to open some files or folders that is on the host OS. Is that not possible?

    Any help will be greatly apreciated!!

    You wont get aero on a virtual machine. typically virtual machines are limited to 16-bit colours.

    You have to set up or mount the other drives manually in the control panel. Make sure the virtual OS is off while your changing settings.

    OK, I want to try this 1 more time. I want to delete or uninstall the virtual machine I just created, and start from scratch. How do I uninstall the current virtual machine?
