In the Setup Wizard we will configure our GNS3. The IOS images which you will run during the configuration of the topology.
Here you have a choice where do you want to run your GNS3 and IOS images.
If you will get such error message quit from the Setup Wizard and open the Preferences from the Edit tab of GNS3.
Under the Binary images sub-tab of General Preferences browse or select the folder where you have kept your IOS images.
Now, add the IOS images by clicking on New button in the IOS routers, subtab 'IOS routers' of Dynamips.
You can receive warring message in case of invalid IOS images.

For connecting the devices with each other we need to choose the Network adapter at the specific slot, we can also make these changes later.
By selecting the correct Idle-PC value, we can prevent the IOS to over use of the CPU processing, and it is really very effective.
Apply the changes and run the New project.
