I've been using VMWARE Fusion for quite some time now on my macbook, mostly for Uni work (Windows XP), but I found Simcity 4 the other day and tried to run it, when an error came up saying "could not initialise direct draw". The screen then goes blank and I have to restart VMWARE Fusion to get back to the desktop. I've been searching round the internet for a solution and tried most of them with no luck.

Does anyone have a solution? As I really want to play the game again!!!


First problem i've had with Fusion, brilliant bit of kit though!


Any help would be most appreciated,


Thanks
