I'm NOT trying to do anything nefarious here, I have a laptop that I decided I needed to get more familiar with Linux so I decided to installk Ubuntu on my laptop. Problem is some of my apps won't run under Wine and I'm too lazy to dual boot. So I had the idea to virtualize the Windows system under Vmware. It works but the Coupons.com "printer" won't install because it's detecting that I'm running in a VM. The same "printer" won't work under WINE so I'm stuck here,. Any ideas how to hack my own VM so it doesn't appear as a VM?
