So you think you've got all the drivers in your  Vmware fusion 4 on a Mac OSX already installed. COOOOL!!!!!  ???
I guess then you would have no need for installing any drivers on your PC when you install new OS
OR
you also might have not got any Driver's disc with your motherboard.

i have a macbook air MAC OSX with vmware fusion 4.0 installed, and try maher's xp pro may 2012, and I cannot get on the internet. I thought you said previously you installed on your mac also. How did you manage to get the driver for that?

Thanks

Hey buddy. :)

Do you have any drivers CD/DVD coming with your macbook?
Because when we install any OS, we install the drivers for sound, vga and internet. And those drivers come with the motherboard or laptop.
So, you need to install the appropriate internet driver for your macbook.

If you don't have any drivers CD/DVD, you can try DriverPack Solution
It will scan your system for any missing drivers and install them.
Good luck.  :D

I thought Driver Pack Solution was only for Windows XP, Vista & 7
Can Driver Pack Solution be used for Mac OS? ??? :-\

@ BLADESHARK. :)

Correct me in this:
He uses MAC.. inside Mac, he installs a virtual machine.. he installs XP inside the virtual machine....  Am I right till now ?

After that.. Is there any way to mount the DriverPack ISO file or load its DVD to start working from the XP system of the virual machine ?!

This is what I was wondering about.

Thanks buddy. :D

Yes you are right.
VMware & Virtual box ONLY have the ability to detect a disc in ROM drive or you can mount an ISO or they both can even detect a usb drive.

No need to activate. It is already activated.
to check if xp is activated
goto start/run and enter the following
