Fusion 4 giving me an error on my Mac

[SFSmithSC]

Hello,

I'm trying to use the VMware Fusion 4 for my Mac. It is 10.6.8, which I believe is supported. After I download and install it, I try to run it. It returns this error:

"You can’t open the application “VMware Fusion” because it’s not supported on this type of Mac."

I've scoured the web looking for related errors, but I haven't found anything relevant. Does anyone have any idea what may be causing this? I really appreciate any help you may offer.

Thanks,

Sam

Hi SFSmith, can you check in the Apple menu (top left) in "About This Mac" which kind of processor it has?

Hey good morning,

The processor is a 2GHz Intel Core Duo.

Thanks,

Sam

I'm afraid that processor is not supported. According to the URL below, you need a Core 2 Duo or newer:
