    Hi all,

    My wife visit coupon sites that requires their printer software installed prior to allowing you to print their coupons. I've read from some people that examined what the printer software captures and would prefer to setup a coupons only VM strictly for this use. Any other personal and private tasks are done on a separate VM.

    With the latest updates, Winloader 2.0.4 is not working on my VB VMs.

    Alternatively, VMWARE Fusion appears to be fine with the Win7 activation but coupons.com's printer utility detects the the Win7 Guest as a VM and won't install. Oddly, the VM in VirtualBox is not detected so VirtualBox is my current preferred Virtualization app.

    Any assistance in pointing me to the right place is greatly appreciated. In the meantime, I'll continue searching this site. TIA!
