Hello, i am new here and new to this product.
I have a very simple question, but this problem is driving me crazy.
Okey, so i recently installed VMware fusion. It works great except there is one huge problem i can't solve. I mostly got VMware fusion because i wanted to run some microsoft-programs and play pc-games. And here is where the problem comes up, when i want to play my games i want to play with my best graphic-card (on my macbook pro i have 2 graphic-cards one 128mb and one 256 or 512mb if i remember) but i can't understand how to activate my better graphic-card. Fusion is only using my bad graphic-card and i really need help with activating the better one!
Please answer my question as fast as you can, either here or on my mail: svenssonerik(at)live.se

Kind regards
Erik Svensson
