I'm using a Windows 7 laptop. I tried booting from the LiveCD, but it told me that the X server failed to start - probably a hardware issue. I then followed the advice above about using the CD in VMware Player. I made the .vmx file above and tried to use it. However, the following error appeared: Error while opening the virtual machine: File "C:\Program Files (x86)\Security\livecd.vmx" line 3: Value "\x938\x94" for variable "config.version" is not valid in encoding "UTF-8". Please assist. Thank you. Greetings.

Unless it's fixed since the last time I dared to use it, it adds the meeting to the google calendar and then re-invites everyone again.

If you have only a few searches (I have only 2) this is better IMO. I found the site when I was searching if there's any difference between ctrl e and ctrl k. It seems that there is none.
