    Hey there, I have two questions about your VirtualKD app:

    1) does it work on Vista/32 host with a Vista/32 guest (VmWare)?

    2) does it address the excess CPU usage (spinning of some kind) that VmWare exhibits when the guest OS is paused via WinDBG?

    Thanks!

    Yes, it supports Vista. You need to copy KDVM.DLL instead of KD1394.DLL and setup Vista to boot with 1394 debugging (bcdedit). Be sure to replace KD1394.DLL in DLLCACHE as well.
    CPU usage while being paused happens only on multi-processor virtual machines and was not yet investigated properly. Maybe, it will be fixed in next versions.

    hi,
    should it work /w win7 (x64) as host os?

    this is what i get…

    ModLoad: 000007fe`f54e0000 000007fe`f5516000 D:Program Files (x86)VMwareVirtualKD-2.0kdclient64.dll

    First chance exceptions are reported before any exception handling.
    This exception may be expected and handled.

    another problem i have is that vmmon64 uses 100% cpu, even when vmware isnt running.
