    I install Windows XP in Ubuntu with VMWare. Then install in my virtual XP some programs and drives. Can I use then everytime I want ? ( Under ubuntu and with VMWare )
    Yes, you can use them everytime you want. You only have to start the virtual windows with the VMware server console. And your windows boots automatically with all the software and documents you have installed, put in it.

    I enabled it according to the guide here: http://www.vmware.com/support/ws5/do..._enabling.html

    DirectX 9 gave indeed: direct3d support enabled (!)
    But unfortunately it crashed immediately when I wanted to try the Direct3d test.
    It also gave me irritating black area's that didn't got refreshed. But it does look promising.

    How do I get past this part?

    Code:
    What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
    kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include]
    
    The path "/usr/src/linux/include" is not an existing directory.

    It looks like the linux-kernel-headers are not installed.
    As mentioned in the howto:
    Try to execute:
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.15-23-686 don't forget to change the 2.6.15-23-686 with the uname -r results 
    Does it say that it is indeed installed? Hope this helps you.

    To avoid any confusion with the linux-headers install, just do this:

    Code:
    sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`
    And it will look up the uname in the same command.

    .....

    Am I the only one that can't get the registration at VMware to work at all?

    Don't forget to turn off debug mode so things run A LOT faster:

    sudo cp /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libgcc_s.so.1/

    and

    sudo cp /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0 /usr/lib/vmware/lib/libpng12.so.0/

    For some reason I had problem installing a virtual machine if I ran "vmware" so I always do:

    sudo vmware

    to run it as a super user (correct me if this is not a good policy please)

    Hope this was useful

    Cheers

    I had the same problem. You need to change the ownership of the .vmware directory. I just did:

    sudo chown -R yourusername:yourusername .vmware

    I tried it out and it crashes when VMWare tries to resize my resolution when I go to fullscreen. When I run it windowed, it crashes if I run the D3D test under DXDiag.

    Pretty impressive crashes too, they take down my system entirely. I can't even ctrl+alt+backspace or ctrl+alt+f1 to get around it

    Why do I need to regist before download VMWare? Is there any free program like this one?
