Help!!! Windows 8 now takes over an hour to load after upgrading to Yosemite and version 7

[jacksonstev1]

After upgrading to Yosemite, my Fusion version 6 no longer worked. So, I upgrade to  Fusion version 7 as that is "compatible". Now, it takes over an hour to load Windows 8. Please advise ASAP!!

- IMAC 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5 with 12 gb memory, graphics; AMD radeon HD 6770M 512 mb

- Windows 8 with all latest updates

- Fusion 7 "upgrade" to ver 6

Also, file vault is NOT activated

As a side note, moving my mouse while windows is loading seems to speed it up, or at least make the spinning graphic move faster.

I think this is the same problem people in a couple other forum threads are having. I am experiencing this as well. Upgraded to Fusion 7 after upgrading to Yosemite, I hadn't tried running Fusion 6 under Yosemite, so I don't know if this problem is limited to just Fusion 7.

Version 6 apparently was not compatible with Yosemite as it had a stop logo (circle with a diagonal line) through the Fusion logo. This is why I downloaded the Version 7 update.

Looks like they missed a bug in 7. Hopefully they'll fix it soon. I only use my Win 8.1 VM to run AnyDVD HD to rip my blu-rays, and as it is it would take 20 hours or more to do one.

It sounds like you may have hit the apple bug - check the other thread in the forum for a fix.
