Title: Please help me:How can cgminer run smoothly in a virtual machine? Post by: ok123 on January 08, 2014, 03:51:05 PM Hi,everyone! ;D
I meet a very troublesome problem,and I ask for your help. My host OS: Win7 ultimate sp1(x64) Graphics card: ATI Radeon HD 6850 When I mine many coins based on scrypt,cgminer can run smoothly in my host OS.But I want to place cgminer and all coin's wallets into a virtual machine now,because my antivirus software always prompts that there are many viruses in cgminer and some coin's wallets. So I installed VMware workstation(10.0.1 build-1379776) today,and converted my physical computer into a virtual machine by using "Virtualize a Physical Machine". But cgminer can't run in the virtual machine,and it prompts "No devices found". So I am ready to install the graphics driver,but I find that the graphics driver can't be installed successfully at all in the virtual machine. So,I want to know: 1: Can cgminer run smoothly in a virtual machine? 2: If it can,how should I set the virtual machine? 3: If it can't,how can I run cgminer safely? 4: Is cgminer a virus? My cgminer is downloaded from the link: http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer Feedback of Virustotal: https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/a1922fe0af34a6870daf1f0434775ca89a8b79d6d26a1047171f86a7ce377289/analysis/1389197769/ Title: Re: Please help me:How can cgminer run smoothly in a virtual machine?

What I am doing now: Keep cgminer in host OS,but place all coin's wallets into a VM. ;D Title: Re: Please help me:How can cgminer run smoothly in a virtual machine? Post by: ok123 on January 09, 2014, 12:15:20 PM Why did you need to virtualize the machine? virtualize the machine=Virtualize a Physical Machine ??? It's the fastest way to create a virtual machine.
