It’s been awhile since I posted an update. Simply very busy with real world duties.
Anyway VMware has just release a significant update to Fusion for the Mac OSX and I’ve just done the update. The version 2 update is free for version 1 owners like myself! So has made any difference?
Yes but at a cost. It takes longer to boot the virtual versions BUT the additional functionality would appear to be worth it. For example it can access your vitrual files without the operating system running.
Another thing I worked out was the error I was having with Microsoft Frontpage 2003! I still use the old program because it sorts out my file renaming and sorts out which files have been updated and so forth. However I use it as my FTP program rather than Frontpage extensions. The error used to occur after uploading a few files on the remote server. Very annoying.
The Frontpage error message was ‘500 won’t open a connection to 192.168.0.169 (only to xx.xxx.xxx.x) 500 unknown command’. The solution was to tick the use ‘Passive FTP box’.
So if you’re still using Frontpage for what ever reason through the virtual XP this may solve your problems.
