VMWare

[foxgrrl]

So, am I just on crack, or are the last three releases of VMWare Workstation totally broken with respect to the hardware debugging registers? If I set a hardware breakpoint [like on memory write], in a debugger, in the guest OS; It will break on every single instruction, even if it doesn't touch memory at all (like XOR EAX,EAX (in a completely different segment than DR0 or anything))

For reference, this is VMWare Workstation 5.5.2 on a Host OS: Linux x86-64, Guest OS Win2K Adv Server. Same thing with VMWare WS 5.5 and 5.0 too.

I can't find anything on Google about this; I can't be the only person on Earth who has noticed this.

no!!
i'm just learning vmware stuff and i like it
please don't tell me they are breaking it?
i'm using an older version

i did something that some of my friends thought, "hey, i never thought of that"

I no longer trust any of the bittorrent apps
but i still want to download stuff
so i created a virtual xp inside my xp
and put all my torrent stuff in that
and shared out the download folders so all i got to do is move the completed out onto the real computer
:-)

now i got to find a linux distro i like
and try the xp inside linux
:-)
