    Hello,

    Under VirtualMachine > Configure, my memory is set at 512 MB and Number of CPUs to 1 (in Windows XP guest), but it won't let me increase it, or change it in any way. My Mac host has 16 GB RAM and 2 Quad core processors. I need more juice going to Windows, or more accurately, to an application on Windows. Anyone know why it's thwarting me?

    Thanks,
    kgowan :)

    Hello Katherine,

    It looks like you are trying to change these settings when Virtual Machine is running. At first shut down VM, then open its Confirugation, and you should be able to change any settings.

    Oh! Well that should have been obvious!

    Thanks,
