hello tuners


after a purchase and new installation of windows 8 i suddenly cant drag and drop files (.ols, .bin) to winols anymore. it worked perfectly in windows7 64bit.
it is happening on winols 2.xx. works perfectly in tunerpro.

anyone else had this problem?

regards

ive had that problem.


i've googled, and googled.  tried running winols as administrator is the only answer i can find. i am running it as admin. if i dont, winols wont start up at all. just giving me an memory error.  it would start perfectly with or without that i win7.

you have a solution you want to share?

Pop this in the VMX config file if you want to get WinOLS to run inside VMware virtual machines

isolation.tools.getVersion.disable = "TRUE"

Let me know if it doesn't work as there's a few other options we can try also.

your the man! thank you very much. it works perfectly. but got another problem now. cant enter 'unity mode' in vmware anymore. it says i should reinstall vmware tools. but when doing that it comes with an error about vmware tools can only be installed inside the guest system which i am also doing.

do you know any solution for this?

Unfortunately this trick prevents VMware tools from running also, & without tools, you wont get Unity mode. I'd love to patch out the check directly in WinOLS (it will be querying the backdoor VMware I/O port), but my assembler skills are beyond rusty!

that above worked well with winols.  if you others are having some troubles with other programs like me then try adding these lines:

monitor_control.virtual_rdtsc = "false"
monitor_control.restrict_backdoor = "true"
isolation.tools.getPtrLocation.disable = "true"
isolation.tools.setPtrLocation.disable = "true"
isolation.tools.setVersion.disable = "true"
isolation.tools.getVersion.disable = "true"
monitor_control.disable_directexec = "true"

runs almost everything on vmware now
