  1. Can anyone advise if VM gives you a dedicated IP address? Need something for a stealth eBay account. Thanks.

  2. 4:00 im not getting the window pop up when i click start, i get a bunch of error pop ups.

    one says "failed to open a session" The virtual machine 'windows' has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1 (0x1). NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)

    the other says
    Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)
    Make sure the kernel module has been loaded successfully.
    where: suplibOsInit what: 3 VERR_VM_DRIVER_NOT_INSTALLED (-1908) – The support driver is not installed. On linux, open returned ENOENT

  3. I'm running macOS Monterey (12.0) which is incompatible with older Mac software. To get around this, I want to run Mavericks (10.9) in a virtual window. I can get as far as running the Mavericks 10.9 iso in the VM window, but when it gets to where to install, the available volumes window is blank. Ideas?

  4. when i try to install it i get a notification that says it failed and "encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance" what do I do?

  5. can I run pi-hole through a vm on my mac? I'm looking at different options to lock down my network a little better.

  6. You must explain all the steps in security privacy etc etc. Not only press next button and all these things…
