VM Ware Server 2.0 Running in Vista Ultimate- IE Protected Mode- Trusted Site
Trying to run Vista Home Premium in a VM on a Vista Ultimate host on my laptop. Intel Centrino 2.2 with 4GB RAM. VM Ware Server 2.0 and I have to run IE with protected mode off in order to open the VM Console. I added the site (https://jd-pc:8333/ui/#{e:"VirtualMachine|16",w:
Don't really want to run with Protected Mode off. Tried it in Firefox and it tells me certificate is unsigned and won't work even after I add it to Exceptions in Security under Internet Tools.
Is there a better way to run a local VM? The Console is really slow and I would love to be able to start the VM easily- it is local to my box and doesn't go over a network

You need Windows Server 2000, 2003 or 2008 in order to successfully install VMware Server 2.0

Page 25 of this PDF explains the Windows Host Operating System Requirements.
FYI, I tried to install VMware Server 2.0 in Windows XP.
Even though the installation was successful, I had several issues with respect to VM Creation and Networking.
When I moved my VMware Server to Windows 2000 Server SP 4 it worked fine
