Comment on Can’t pin Eclipse to the taskbar in Windows 7 by Jerome Falcon

Yeeh it works perfectly for me now.

I’ve simply added the following to the Eclipse-shortcut Target (after the “…/eclipse.exe”):

-vm “C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_27\jre\bin”

I set the Virtual Machine (vm) location to the bin-directory of my preffered JDK.

Thank you!

Comment on Use VMware Infrastructure Client to manage VMware Server 2.0.x by Aaron

I’m assuming Tomcat is responsible for running the web interface on port 8333? You’ll need to leave that running, the client actually relies on it to make the connection.

Aaron, thanks for your article. this is just what I needed.
Has been bogged down with with web interface incompatibility with newer firefox browser and the slowness switching between VMs. Just downgraded from ESXi to vmware server and just can’t get used to this web interface.
i’m downloading the client now, apparently my VIC doesn’t work the way you described.

I wonder does that mean we can get rid of the “tomcat” process on vmware server ( im hosting it on one of win2k8 box) to speed up the service ??

Comment on Can’t activate Windows XP after a repair install or in-place upgrade by Peter Farmer

Many Many thanks for posting this tip . I wasnt able to login after being forced into a repair install which left me in the “activation required but doesnt work” loop. As you said IE 8 + SP3 in safe mode (no networkng) fixed the activation mechanism and I have a working machine once again after many frustrating hours. I switched to Linux & OS X many years ago . I just wish my clients would do the same !

I’m assuming you’ve looked into VMware Player and VirtualBox and they don’t suit your needs? (The only thing I can think of that Server offers over these other free offerings is the ability to boot your VM automatically in the background when your machine boots up.)

Thanks… I’m on linux with an XP vm. I’m looking for a client to avoid me having to use the web-based interface. For one thing, it’s causing problems with my upgrade of firefox.
