Using VMware Fusion at Middlefield

Logging in

If the computer is on and looks like it's running Windows, hold your mouse at the top of the screen for a few seconds to make sure Fusion has not already started. If a VMware Fusion menu bar appears, someone has already started Fusion and you don't need to do anything else. If nothing happens, restart the machine, choose the Apple logo from the Boot Camp screen, and log in with username tc and password tc when prompted.

Starting Fusion

The VMware Fusion Dock icon looks like two interlocking squares, one red and one blue. If Fusion is working correctly, its icon will bounce up and down in the Dock when you log in and the program will start on its own. If it doesn't, click the icon pictured here.

When Fusion is ready the Virtual Machine Library screen will appear. Double-click the panel labeled TC, wait for the virtual machine to resume, and log in if necessary. Use the MySabre shortcut on the desktop if my.sabre.com does not open automatically.

The Virtual Machine Library. Double-click TC to start the virtual machine for Travel Careers.

Changing the viewing mode

If Fusion is running in Full Screen mode, the machine will appear to be running Windows as though it were a PC. In Unity mode, Windows itself will be hidden and any Windows application you start will appear in a standard OS X window. If you know Fusion is running but can't find the Windows desktop, or you want to change the viewing mode for another reason, click View in the VMware Fusion application menu and select the options you want.
