Windows Repair
|
This is not directly related to NVDA so please reply off list if you will. I suspect there are some very knowledgeable folks here so am hoping for some badly needed help.
Internet Explorer under Windows 7 running in a virtual machine on the Mac crashes. I need to boot from the Windows 7 disc from the VM so I can run a repair. Since IE cannot be uninstalled this seems the only option. But there does not seem to be a way to actually boot from the disc in the VM. So perhaps deactivate Windows, create a new VM and then reactivate it? Is this workable? From E.T.'s Keyboard... Ancient.Aliens@...

Well you could always just delete the vm and try again.

Personally ie was never fully stable even in 10. I use it for spaciffics, gmail on some sites is one, some of my update sites if I want to autoinstall things but its slow, crappy and clunky. Its only good because a few things still need it and its crappy interface like pcpitstop. For those places that it is still happy with its a dream. On 8/3/2018 5:29 PM, E.T. via Groups.Io wrote:

Yes I know I can do that, create a new VM. But the question remains, or perhaps I should rephrase it a bit, is deactivation reactivation a safe and reliable process?

Well if you make another vm you can probably just reactivate the windows thing and it will think its just another pc.

You can only have it on 1 unit, as long as you don't activate to often chances are it will let you through. Once you do have a working vm you can probably just back it up and if it falls over you can put it back. On 8/4/2018 2:17 AM, E.T. via Groups.Io wrote:
