Hi

I used VMware Player 2.5.3and tried to upgrade to 3.0.
But after the installation and starting a VM I got the message:
PAE is required
and the player ended.

Yes I the CPU does not have PAE support - but why is it required starting from 3.0?
It could be an option - that would be cool.

Or those with PAE and more than 4GB RAM - they could use workstation...

Is there a way to use the new player with a CPU without PAE support?

Kind Regards
