    Hello,
    I'm coming from VMWare Fusion and think about switching the sides ;-)
    I've downloaded the trial version and everything works just fine except one thing:
    While working on MacOS, the VM in the background often goes into standby mode, sometimes after like 30 seconds of idling. How can I disable that "feature"? The VM has to run all the time because I often transfer files from Mac to Windows and don't want to click on "start" again all the time.
    I've searched all menus and googled a while, but this does not appear to bother anybody else :D
    Thanks for your time,
    Kevin

    Hi,
    Please elaborate on what you mean "Standby" - Virtual machine suspends? Freezes? Went to sleep?
    If Windows goes sleep, please check the Power Options in Control Panel in Windows.

    Hi,
    found the setting. It was under Windows 7 - Options > Programs > Pause windows if no programs are open (translated from german)
