Problem running applications in Win 7 x64 guest

[mrg]

Hi,

I've fresh installed a Win 7 x64 VM in VB, with Win 7 x64 host on a Thinkpad W510. I mainly want the VM to try out demos and other apps without cluttering up and slowing down the main system. The first applications I have installed is Camo Unscrambler X multivariate analysis software but on running for the first time I get the error:

Code: Select all

Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.

   at CAMO.Components.Authenticate.ActivationHelper.GetHardwareID()

   at System.Windows.Forms.Control.ControlNativeWindow.WndProc(Message& m)[/size]
   at System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.Callback(IntPtr hWnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam)

I've tried installing the same on a fresh VMware Win7 x64 image and it works fine, so it obviously isn't a generic virtualisation problem and is specific to VB. Is there a setting somewhere I need to change or some other workaround for this problem?

Thanks in advance
