CPU disabled

[r3ds4in7]

When I'm inside my virutal machine every thing is running fine except whenever I try to install or download software inside my virtrual machine I get the error message "The CPU has been disabled by the guest operating system, Power off or reset the virtual machine". I reset the machine and try to download and install software again but I keep getting the same message. I'm really new to virutalization so whatever explanaition I get needs to be really simple. Do I need to go into the BIOS on my computer or do something else inside of VMware Workstation to fix this?

Welcome to the forums!

Please let us know:

Which VMware Workstation version do you use?

Which host OS?

Which guest OS?

I'm running Vmware Workstation 8 on Windows 7

about the guest operating system... I'm trying to program in xCode 3.1 to learn objective c for iOS development so I'm trying to get OS X 10.5.7 running ( I have a feeling though I won't get my question answered because it is a violation of apple's terms and agreements, but I might as well try)

OS X is shutting down the CPU because it doesn't recognize the platform as Apple hardware.  Apple is enforcing its EULA.

What is an Eula? The OS runs with no problems at all until I try to install iPhone SDK 3.1, I've seen other versions of Mac OS X and xCode run without problems on Workstation so I'm not exactly sure why it would run into power problems on this version.

EULA - End User License Agreement.

Nonetheless, we can't help you here.

That didn't really surprise me since it is piracy, thanks anyways
