Alternative To Bluestacks
YouWave for Android is one of the alternative way I did run on my Win7 notebook. It seems to run from a virtual machine. As I was trying the trial software and the trial period had expired, I could not write up more details about the software.
Not all apks can run as it is using native code which is not supported.
Some of the key technical features:
- Supports Android 2.3 Gingerbread
- Runs on Windows XP/Vista/7, 32/64 bit
- Simulated SD card functionality – enables game saving
- Saved State – enables fast restart
- Enables multi-player online games
- Dynamic rotating – phone-like instant response
- Volume control buttons
- Retractable control panel
You can try iPadian if you like to run Apple’s ios in your PC.

Increasing Bandwidth Limit
By default (even with QoS disabled) Windows XP and above reserves up to 20 percent of your connections bandwidth. To override this reserve take the following steps.
* Start > Run > type gpedit.msc
* You will see [Local Computer Policy]
* Expand the [Administrative Templates] branch
* Expand the [Network] branch
* Highlight [QoS Packet Scheduler]
* Double-click [Limit Reservable Bandwidth]
* Check [Enabled]
* Change [Bandwidth limit %] to 0 %
* Click [Apply] [OK]
* Restart
Make sure you Log on as Administrator, not as a user with Administrator privileges.

VMware Workstation: Operation on file .vmdk failed
I got an error “Operation on file .vmdk failed.” when i tried to boot up my virtual WinXP machine in VMware Workstation.
Here the things I tried:
a) Repaired the vmdk file –> Basic VMDK-repair know-how
b) Converted to .vhd file –> VMDK(VMWare) to VHD Converter
c) Opened the .vhd file –> Windows Virtual PC
d) Converted the .vhd file back to .vmdk file –> How to convert VHD to VMDK partition types (Convert format to VMDK)
After days of finding the solution. I figured out the simple answer is using Winimage 8.50 and open the .vmdk file to recover all your precious data.
