Tech guru's, can you help me? I run EFILive 7.5, on Windows Vista Ultimate, on a virtual machine using VMWare Fusion on a Mac Book Pro. I had no problems until switching to another Mac Book and now I'm getting an error and EFILive won't run.

The hard drive failed on my old Mac Book, so I used a backup drive to load the VMWare & EFILive onto the new Mac Book. I needed help from VMWare to get Windows up and running, but my Windows runs fine now. Also, my EFILive 8.2.1 runs fine, but I cannot scan or edit with it, I can only download tunes with it (and I think upload too). I need to be able to scan, log, edit, and upload/download, and when I try to open EFILive 7.5 I get an error message. I am running as administrator. I have uninstalled and reinstalled EFILive 7.5 and still get the same error. EFILive support says they cannot support since it is running on a virtual machine. I get the following error message, can anyone lend me some help?
