You will have to run it from the host that the VM runs on. http://dferguson75.wordpress.com has the details (I'd copy/paste them but there's a web filter preventing my access to the site currently).

BTW how would you do to test first if guest is a w32bit rather than x64bit one ? Thx ;) Yup he came back to me on VMware Communities as well.

"we also wanted to test with “virtualized MMU” set to forced. For a 32Bit Windows OS this setting needs to be set to force other wise it will not be utilized." http://www.yellow-bricks.com/2009/03/06/virtualized-mmu-and-tp/ Thanks Duncan Ahhh, Duncan has just answered the question….. “we also wanted to test with “virtualized MMU” set to forced.

I will have a look.
