ok, it was set to boot off the CD first, so I did switch it to Hard Drive first. I tried t run Compressor with the same results (or lack there of). I then tried restarting with the command key held down like you suggested... same results. I did notice that in the Configuration Editor, there is a "Compact" button under Hard Disk > Advanced. I was able to run that...
But I still can't seem to be able to run the Compressor from inside the virtual machine... so it is still a definite issue.
(and actually after it ran, the size of the disk image didn't seem to be any different)
