Printing (PDF's) from Microstation

I'm not able to print anything from Microstation XM (Bentley Systems)

As soon as I open the print dialog there comes an error message :

"Can't open "Unicows.dll"

I found that many applications brought there own unicows.dll, so does VMWare.

(To acces OS X printers virtually from XP Pro ?)

Seems that VMWare's DLL is not compatible with Microstation.

But I need printing to produce 3D PDF's from my CAD geometry.

Today I had problems with a bluescreen when closing the

second instance of my Microstation XM.

BSOD said Problem wiith VMX_Fb.dll

Generally the DirectX support of VMWare is not fast enough

for latest Windows CAD/CAM software which extensivly

make use of Direct X9.

I often have Problems loosing my cursor (cross hair).






Thanks,
