  • Update your video card driver from the card manufacturer web page ( ATI, NVIDIA, INTEL ). This is specifically important with Vista as the first available drivers are of poor quality.ATI, NVIDIA, INTEL ).
  • Disable the video card hardware acceleration in the Windows Display Property.
  • Use the “Light” version of the program.

Linux problems :

  • Install instruction:
    tar xf virtualmoon-6.0-linux.tar
    sudo ./vmapro_install.sh
