What does it mean "I created a vmware image" ? Did you ghost it? Copy
the files? Use some other disk imaging utility which you didn't specify
the name of? What programs specifically are complaining about not being
registered? Does NOTEPAD.EXE throw up this error? Is it a path problem?
Did your drive letters change?
How did you image your old system and then put the image into your
VMware virtual machine? The answer to that will help us understand why
your Windows system might be acting like the programs are un-registered.
