Today I started working for project, after a week gap. I tried to install OpenWRT in VMware. I read many posts about it. But I can't find the apt one. At last in the evening I found a Chinese post about it. I translated it into English (thanks to Google translation).
That told about another virtual cpu Qemu. It said that there is an option in Qemu to convert raw image into VMware image (vmdk). I thought that would work. Fortunately both Qemu and VMware image are small (Qemu is 3MB and VMware image is around 50MB). But mistakenly I downloaded the LInux version of Qemu. Then I started again the Windows version (7MB).
In that evening my modem's speed sucks. So I put the download and went to another work. My bother came and just closed the downloads. When I came back, my system was shutdown. When I booted it, the aero theme is not working. I had only the older type of visual experience. I try to look about the problem in Internet. So I started connecting my modem. Again there was an error that some service to make remote connection couldn't be run.

But fortunately that error helped. I opened msconfig to see the services which are allowed to run. There I saw that some services including that remote network connection service and the theme manager. I simply enabled all the services and restarted my system.
After restarting the system everything worked fine. I didn't know why that was happened. So I ran a full scan by panda cloud anti virus and at the same time I resumed the download (fortunately I do all my download using a download manager).
The scan as well as the download finishes around 11 o clock night. After that only I felt better. I ran the command to convert the raw OpenWRT image into vmdk image(qemu-img convert -f raw -O vmdk
As my good time I have already downloaded the linux version of Qemu. So I started my Ubuntu 10.04 in VMware. As doing copy and paste between Windows host and Windows guest, I can't do with Ubuntu and Windows 7. I installed VMware tools inside the guest Ubuntu (here I learned to use gzip, tar and how to install a .pl file).But that never helped.
I searched for solutions online. The best way they told is network sharing. But how to? This is not the right time to find the answer. Because now the time is 12.30AM. I was thinking about the butterfly effect (the chaos theory) and shuteddown my system...
