Guide to creating and running VMs
lolpie
2007-06-28 13:22:23
A Virtual Machine is essentially a computer inside of a computer. It's main purpose to us is to allow you to auto on the VM while doing something else like playing a game or chatting, since it doesn't use your mouse or keyboard.

Things you need before you can start:
- VMWare Workstation 6 - Illegal. No links for you. Hint: Torrents
- TinyXP Beast Edition - Not illegal. Links for you. Download, Another one, And another, And another
- A blank CD. If you don't want to burn it to a disk then ignore all of the CD-related steps in this tutorial.
- Deepburner (for burning TinyXP onto a CD) - Download
- Install VMWare Workstation (now referred to as VMW) and burn TinyXP onto a disk.
- In VMW, click on New Virtual Machine
- Click:
Custom - Next - Microsoft Windows - Version XP Pro
Number of processors - One, even if you have a dual core machine
Memory to allocate - If you have 1GB or more, then 256MB is fine(TinyXP is a lot less bloated than the original OS)
Use Bridged Networking
Next
Create a new virtual disk
Next
Disk Size - 3GB works fine. Check the first box
Name it something if you want. Hit Finish!
- Put the TinyXP CD into your computer and click the Play button to start the VM. If it asks you something about a floppy drive, click on Disconnect or whatever the option is to disable it (because you will never use it).
- Install XP. Choose option 1. Choose NTFS (Quick) for the formatting.
- After it's installed, change the resolution if you want, start downloading SCAR, Java, etc…
You're done! Now you can auto!
Make sure you install VMTools. To do this, free your mouse, then right click the VM's tab and hit Install VMTools. Now go to My Computer in the VM and start VMTools
Well, I guess that's it. Please post comments and enjoy your autoing! I hope this mini tut helped you guys :). And no, I don't know how to make the autoing mouse visible, nor do I care to because personally I like it that way.
Some notes:
-If Bridged Networking doesn't work for you, try using NAT instead
-Sometimes Bridged will NOT give you a separate IP because some ISPs only allow one IP per household. The only way to fix this is to use a proxy each time you play
-If you don't want to burn the OS onto a disk, then simply go into the VM's settings and set it to boot straight from the ISO instead of the disk.
-If VMW lags for you, try Microsoft Virtual PC 2007. The steps to setting up a VM are virtually identical.

You know you dont need a cd to burn.
You can get just an iso of tiny xp, and mount it to a virtual drive liek Deamon Tools.
Thats saves burning it to a cd.
lolpie
2007-06-28 19:32:56
I know but I burned it to a CD because Daemon never works for me :(

and what if we have VMware-workstation-5.5.2-29772?
lolpie
2007-07-02 23:37:42
I haven't tried that one, but it should be basically the same…

2007-07-02 23:41:57
okie dokie
4 more hours till TinyXP finish downloading :D
is TinyXP like WindowXP and do we need a serial key or w/e
Santa_Clause
2007-07-03 00:15:31
Serial? If you did he would have told you.
lolpie
2007-07-03 10:48:31
Nope no serial
e-man
2007-07-03 17:47:03
it says
The file 'asms' on windows XP professional Service pack 2 CD is needed.
Type the path where the file is located, and then click OK.
what do i need?

When does that happen? You should be putting the TinyXP CD in after you've installed the VM…

2007-07-04 01:05:11
aww i lag =[
i can auto in my virtual machine but i cant auto on real computer
lolpie
2007-07-04 03:04:42
The whole point of VMs is so you don't auto on your real computer -.-
e-man
2007-07-05 00:51:45
no i mean so i can auto on both virtual and host
but i found out i needed more RAM because i only have 448 MB of RAM
so i cant auto with both

Dan Cardin
2007-07-10 14:13:41
is there a way to get a free licence thing for vmware?
edit:i think i got it
Also, Microsoft is giving out their VM software at the moment.

2007-07-10 20:42:30
question about how to do the tinyxp thing-when u open it thers:xPerience,HashCalc, and a bunch of WinRarArchives. and when u do the archives it asks for a serial number. then, what exactly do u need to do to be able to burn it…im so sad…someone add me on msn,aim, or yahoo so i dont haveto wait for posts please
lolpie
2007-07-10 22:07:27
You extract the .rar archives and it should spit out an iso. Then burn the ISO to a disk using Deepburner and you're all set
shaunthasheep
2007-07-10 22:13:23
on Microsoft Virtual Machine you can just mount .iso's :p
Dan Cardin
2007-07-10 22:13:50
i tried extracting 1 and used a pass 'admin', but there was nothing in the folder
RudeBoiAlex

Dan Cardin
2007-07-11 11:38:15

comes up when i try to extract the Archives:(
Looks like you downloaded a stupid one. Look for better torrents, or the password should be on the site somewhere.
lolpie
2007-07-11 15:20:48
Ya, the original one didn't have any passwords.
Also I tried Microsoft's VM but it sucks for me. Stays at the loading screen saying DHCP…etc and doesn't do anything.
rudeboi: Yeah, it's in my profile. Add me
Maybe he downloaded a warez copy?
lolpie
2007-07-11 15:31:57
dan cardin give me the link to where to you downloaded it from. I suggest you download Beast edition because it's so small
Here: Probably, there's only 1 copy floating around on torrents and there's no password on it.
Dan Cardin
2007-07-11 16:17:11
i downloaded the 1 that u have at the top of the page :(
lolpie
2007-07-11 16:25:10
The password is there. I just looked at it.
lolpie
2007-07-12 17:20:41
Hey guys, are you getting a seperate IPs in the VM and the actual computer? I forgot to check that. Because I'm not and I'm pretty sure I had before…
You do not get separate IPs if you are behind a router. I'm not sure what would happen if you were directly connected to the modem.
lolpie
2007-07-12 17:55:31
What if I go into the router settings page and add a seperate IP? Then assign the VM computer that IP? Let me try that.

to see mouse after you are running script press "alt+f4" (must free input first!!!)
and choose "run in background". then press "winkey+r" and type in "vmware" (without quotes) and press "ok". you should be able to see mouse now.

Updated with a better version of TinyXP that lags a lot less on slower computers.
Dan Cardin
2007-07-15 13:40:53
can u go on aim or msn so that i can talk to u about the tiny xp beast edition thing?
Beast is 142 mb. It's AMAZINGLY fast. You have nothing to lose.
Dan Cardin
2007-07-15 13:54:01
no…the unpacking thing…i dont know what to unpack(cuz theres like 50 archives) and how to get it to being able to be burnt
and i think itll take more than 1 post

Ok, I've been trying to get on MSN but my computer is being gay so I can't.
If it's a ton of archives, just right click on any one of them and choose Extract Here. To burn it, download Deepburner (linked in the tut), the rest is pretty simple to understand in the program

2007-07-16 10:29:42

I got it…make your VM, then click on Edit virtual machine settings. Then click on CD-ROM and choose the option that says use ISO image. Browse to your ISO and it should load it :)

It should have auto connected…are you using Bridged networking? And both of your OS's should be Windows XP
Dan Cardin
2007-07-17 12:06:24
yes to both it says bridged network, but it also says limited or no connection, and yes both are xp
does the fact that i did NTFS (not the quick 1) make a difference?
lolpie
2007-07-17 15:24:50
No that shouldn't affect your network at all. What's your network speed? Since it says Limited/No connection I'm thinking you're on a slow connection…
Dan Cardin

kinda new here i downlaod VMware and tiny xp beast edition i mounted the iso and when i told the virtul machine to boot from it it strated running the xp installation then blue screened any ideas?
Dan Cardin
2007-07-19 09:05:38
sry but i have no clue mine wont get past the 'welcome' screen:(…which is why im posting…do i do the same thing with MS Virtual PC 2007(and will it work with home edition(it says only prof.))? and how do i delete vms?
lolpie
2007-07-19 14:03:21
billben what's the blue screen say?
dan: Yeah it's pretty much the same…I'm guessing your computer just isn't fast enough if it won't go past the Welcome screen. What're your specs? You delete VMs by going into My Docs > My Virtual Machines, then right click it and delete.
Dan Cardin
2007-07-19 14:46:41
oh i thought that you'd have to do something special cuz u allotted a max memory or whatever for it…and uhh, about the whole specs thing…how do i find that?(u can tell that i dont know much about computors:p)

what do u want like this:Windows XP Home Edition
emachines t6212
AMD Athlon™ 64 processor
3200+
1.99 GHz, 384MB of RAM
so yea will the windows VM work even though its supposed to be for prof. edition? and which 1(32 or 64)? im guessing 64 (
64 processor
)
lolpie
2007-07-20 10:19:08
The problem is your RAM. XP Takes 128MB, so you only have 256MB left. Now add a VM which takes even more memory…that's why it won't go past the Welcome screen. You should upgrade to at least 512. RAM is really cheap nowadays
Dan Cardin
2007-07-20 10:26:46
so once i get more RAM thatll be solved…only problem now is that my internet didnt work(though i only got on my vm once…)
lolpie
2007-07-20 12:28:55
Yep
How do you connect to the internet? Through a router?
Dan Cardin
2007-07-20 12:39:00
ethernet cable(thats what its called right? my parent are too cheap to buy a router

2007-07-21 11:57:47
I can't get the internet access to work either, I'm using Wireless on the host PC and bridged on the virtual
lolpie
2007-07-21 14:29:24
Does it give you any errors? What OS is your host PC?
cyclone2527
2007-07-21 19:20:31
I am using Windows XP Home as host and Windows XP Home as VM. I have wireless PCI network adapter, and can get the VM to connect to the internet using NAT (which I believe means that both have the same IP address)
sherlockmeister
2007-07-21 21:42:39
if you do not have a router then you must use nat, idk why. i know this because i used a bridged network until my router broke and then only nat worked.

i've tried the vmware thing, i used tinyxp rev 06 and for some reason runescape lags. its a weird lag though, like when it lags on my main comp, it freezes for a sec then comes back. On the tinyxp install (on tinyxp and the VM) it is almost unresponsive, its as if i was emulating a processor and its not running up to speed. its smooth, but its like 75% as speed and responsive as my main OS install.
The way i set it up was i put a fresh install of tinyxp on a new partition, then i installed vmware and tinyxp on it, the whole thing with VM running used less than 400mb, i have 512.
I may try another stripped version of xp tho and report back.
lolpie
2007-07-23 08:53:05
I get that sometimes. The only way to fix it is to put more RAM in the VM. Try adding another 512MB stick to your computer
klh6686
2007-07-23 21:40:13
well what i was talking about happened in tinyxp w/o the vm running. when i switched back to my retail install it works responsively and perfectly. it might just be an issue w/ my install.
darky
2007-08-07 19:48:23
May I ask how you install TinyXP without a cd?
No probs if yah can't :D
lolpie
2007-08-08 01:28:20
After you set up the VM, click on Edit this VM, then go to CD-ROM, then select the option to boot using an .iso, etc…
darky
2007-08-08 05:29:56
Thanks so much! Help much appreciated but i'm just too confused.. I Don't want to be a hassle so i'll try and work things out myself a bit more :D
Don't wanna be a hassle now do I!

2007-08-09 09:35:09
lolpie, I have the CD IDE using the tinyxp iso, but first time I ran the VM, it got to sum blue screen, when you had to use ENTER, D and something (I think) to select options but it didnt do anything when I pressed. Now, it wont even get to the blue screen, it only stays in the black one with a "-" in the top left corner after it has loaded the first lil gray loadin bar right in the start… :(
lolpie
2007-08-09 10:32:47
You were at the formatting screen. Are you loading from an iso or from a disc?
n3ss3s
2007-08-09 13:27:59
iso..
lolpie
2007-08-09 17:52:40
So basically it won't go to the formatting screen anymore? I'm confused…
n3ss3s
2007-08-10 06:46:04
Yes, let me take a pic.
Ill post here then..
Yeah, when I start it, it loads the gray loading bar like in rs the gray thing, and then it stops to the thing in image.
lolpie
2007-08-10 10:11:53
Where did you download the iso from? Looks like it got corrupted or something. Try DLing it again.

Yeah I'll do that.
Eicca
2007-08-15 15:54:56
I don't get it why don't you just download daemon tools and mount the tinyxp.iso to the program and you will save a cd and the burning job? :P
Krispy101
2007-08-16 14:31:00
NO! Don't use Daemon Tools!
I tried that and PowerISO and Failed!
**TUT: For Using an ISO as a disc in VMW without using an external program*
1)Click on VM at the top..
2) Click on Settings
3) Click on CD Drive
4) it should either be on Auto-detect or the drive you're currently using =]
5)Instead, click Use ISO at the bottom!
6) Select your ISO (TinyXP Beast Edition)
7) Click OK Twice
8) Click play and all should be normal =]
9)ENJOY!
**EDIT**
Also, Not working on Vista? Getting application error 0x80004003 (or any other) messages?
Have no fear! Look here;
**TUT**
1) Unzip Folder
2) Ignore the .bat files for now.
3) Run subinacl.exe
4) Run vmware.6.0_0x80004003_reg_fix.bat (NOT the vmware.5 one!)
5) Try running VMW again after running these, and it should work =] Then you can install your OS =]

i got tinyxp ebeast edition burn onto a disc and its iso, then i use that it still just says you do not a vmware tools all i got is a blank black screen
lolpie
2007-10-13 13:11:38
You take the CD out after Beast is installed, then click on Install VM Tools from the menu, then click on My Computer (inside the VM), and find the drive labeled VM Tools or something like that
RudeBoiAlex
2007-10-13 16:18:10
Thanks i gonna try that in a min (when my other comps intenet gets back up)
EDIT: i try that then it says tinxp beast edition does not exist help pl0x :D

2007-10-14 08:22:02
soz for double post but how do you install tinyxp?
das terminator
2007-10-14 14:59:15
As in the tut, you use virtual drives (some good ones are daemon tools and alcohol 120%. Google)
It's best to install them IN the virtual machine. Then mount the iso or whatever image you downloaded.
PS: Lolpie, want a 1 on 1 on UT99 LOL ;)

2007-10-15 02:23:09
THANK YOU LOLPIE!!!!!! :p. Works great! & your tut was easy to follow ;). Also: Can you have 2 VM's running at the same time + your normal comp?
How do I make the screen for VM bigger though?:

@ jesus you probably can, but with every VM your CPU and RAM usage gets higher, I would not recommend it if you want to run your main OS lag free (unless you have a quad core processor and 2gig RAM ofcourse)
For fullscreen use ctrl alt and enter ;). You also may to need to change the screen resolution
@ Lolpie nice guide, just a tip, you can generate a serial key for a 30 day trial while you use bittorrent to download VMware. Other possibility that if the serial comes in a seperate file in the bittorrent, download only that file and just download the program from the main site (post link soon for both)

That just black out the surrounding areas, how do I make the VM's "Monitor" bigger? so its like a regular comp & not shrunk down.

When you click on download VM Tools, you have to go to My Computer inside of the VM, then double click on the CD-drive. It launches the program from there.

Well I have tried running 2 VM's. IT doesn't run very well (probably because it's my laptop with a shit video card) but it works nontheless, probably only at 3/4 of the speed but ohh wel, in the end if you add up its 1 1/2 :p.
When running 2 chatting like msn, music and internet still work, but you can forget games (UT,CSS anyone).
Recommended settings for 2;
1 processor,
3GB harddisk (best to Preallocate)
256MB RAM
I would recommend to only run 2 when your PC really can handle it (without letting your video card go to 61 degrees Celsius but meh xD)

Nice guide, currently im using Virtual PC 2007 from microsoft instead of VMW, but its basicly the same. First I tried off with Win98 but couldnt get more than 640*480 on 32bit colour, so now im going to try out Tiny XP.
And really simple since you can just load the ISO file directly in the computer without burning it.

Yeh, I asked my dad, and he said exactly the same thing that it was only a cdr not a cdwr. I have it working now, I just looked around yesterday. ^^ I just booted within VMWare. In my opinion, it's better as you can just leave the setting instead of having to run from CD. Although, it would be good for portable use.

I doubt that if you got it from here, then it would screw you up. You probably clicked on something else. Because I downloaded it all (but tinyxp which I found a clean torrent for) here and nothing happened.

Mine was a bit slow, because of all the stuff I had open, but actually, I was amazed at how fast it did download though. It was pretty quick for about 250mb! I read somewhere that supposedly it was a fast download as well…Downloading on BitTorrent FTW! :spot:
Virtual Machines are cool! Lolpie, you are god! lol I set the thing to 3gb hard drive, about 224mb ram, and it doesnt lag at all! Only when I run scar and RS it only lags the tiniest bit, it is awesome!!!
One thing though, even though I shouldn't need to, can I change the 3gb thing to about 5gp without reformatting etc.? And does it take gb from my normal hard drive? I dont think it does, because I had less than 3gb left on my 20gb hard drive when I first installed. I only have about 1-2gb left though because of all the components. So it's pretty good ^^. :p

Lol. ok the more stupid damn english style, do not try to to resize the vm client hard disk and it would not happen…
use the VM ware clone service to add more client instead of re-create and install client
Mouse feature do exists in vm client but invisible to your eye use ctrl + alt to let loose the mouse on vm client and to prevent you miss click anything same like when you run scar on your host.

My computer is

I am currently running Microsoft Virtual PC but if I try and auto on both the VM and my host I lag slightly… making it possible to auto (i guess) but not as fast as I would like it to be. Do you think that if I run VMware instead of Microsoft then I would lag less? or maybe not lag at all if I'm trying to auto on both my host and VM?

Don't worry, you'll be able to install VMW and TinyXP…I have a C2D @ 1.8GHz and 2GB of RAM, and I can run 2 VMs without any lag.

how does this allow you to auto on two accts at once or to auto on the vm and surf on your regular one, for me the mouse is stuck in either, or i can make it be able to go back and forth between the two… the thing is tho the cursor isn't free for the last one
btw i'm using ms virtual 07

I can run 2 on mine while playing CS source or Oblivion, and I have a C2D E4300 w/ 2GB…my guess would be 5 or 6 on yours

Thanks. I found a keygen… I want to be able to run 10 bots at once, so I might buy some flash drives and use them as RAM, I believe I read how to do that somewhere…..
Great guide though!

I cannot find out how to make a .ISO bootable disk. I have all the stuff (VMware Workstaion 6, TinyXP, DeepBurner, disks, and keygen.
I first register VMware WS6, then I load DeepBurner, I choose make a .ISO disk, I locate TinyXP.torrent, then I burn the disk, then I set up a new VM with XP Pro, then I load the VM and it goes to some black screen and says nothing useful.
What am I doing wrong?!?! I did this stuff alot with Linux a year ago, but I forget and I wasnt using a .torrent file. The only thing I remember is it took me about a month to get it to work. lol.

There's no need to burn it to a disk. Just have the iso somewhere on your computer, then create the workstation. Go to Edit Settings, find the settings for CD drives, then make it boot the iso.

Do virtual machines need an anti-virus installed on them to be safe or does the host computer's anti-virus take care of that?

You don't need to burn it TinyXp to a CD. Just create the VM, then go to Edit Settings -> CD-drives -> set it to boot from an iso -> browse to the TinyXP iso

You shouldn't need an antivirus on your VM…I mean, all you're doing is autoing on RS, right? The host AV won't take care of the problem since the entire VM is just one big file.

Yeah, well, I didn't download tiny xp, when I started to download it, it opended limewire and was taken for ever!
Do I need to download bitcomet?
