12 GB of RAM is "not enough physical memory" for a 2-GB virtual Machine?

I run VMware Player 6.0.3 on Windows 64-bit 8.1. My host has 12 GB of physical memory and my virtual machine uses 2 GB memory. And yet, I can't start my VM because VMware has said "not enough physical memory is available to power on this virtual machine with its configured settings".

According to the Windows Task Manager, only 15% of my physical memory is reserved for the current enforcement process. So, how is it possible that I don't have enough RAM to run my virtual machine?

This is a known issue!  Take a look at: (workaround in) Re: 8.1 Windows October rollup KB2995388 and problem with 10 Workstation

  • VMware Workstation 6.5 - not enough physical memory is available to power on this virtual machine

    My host is a processor Intel Core i5 (active VT) and 8 GB of RAM Windows 7 64 bit running with hardware virtualization enabled.

    Apart from McAfee Antivirus and the usual Windows updates, no other software has been installed on the host machine.

    I am running Vmware Workstation 6.5 and I installed 3 popular VM with below guest OS, s/w and memory:

    VMware ESX 4-2 GB
    Server 2003 (DC and DNS) - 1 GB

    Server 2003 (vCenter Server) - 1 GB

    However, it is not possible for me to all 3 virtual machines run simultaneously. If I turn on Vmware ESX 4 and try to start Windows 2003 VM, it displays the following message:

    Not enough physical memory is available to power on this virtual machine with its configured settings.

    To resolve this problem, set the parameters in additional memory to allow for more virtual memory machine to swap.

  • VMware Workstation 10 - not enough physical memory...

    So, I'm aware of the Windows KB2995388 8.1 update that causes this problem:

    Not enough physical memory is available to power on this virtual machine with its configured settings. To solve this problem, decrease the size of the memory of this virtual machine at 460 MB, increase the amount of physical memory for all the virtual machines to 3296 MB or adjust the parameters of extra memory to enable more virtual memory machine to swap. It is possible that native and/or services applications have locked memory which could help launch the virtual machine. Close unnecessary applications or services can free up enough memory to start this virtual machine. If you were able to on this Windows virtual machine on that host computer in the past, try restarting the host computer. Reboot may allow you to use a little more memory host to run virtual machines.

    but after upgrading my OS today I have the same symptoms and can't find installed KB2995388.

    I tried running VMware Workstation as an administrator with no luck either.

    Y at - it no alternative workaround, or is there an another Windows update that can cause this problem?

    Thanks for any help and advice.

    Yes, other updates can cause the same issue, because the change that was made in KB2995388 was incorporated in to many other more recent updates as well.

    What version of Workstation do you run?  If you run Workstation 10.0.4 or newer on Windows 8.1, this should no longer be a problem.

  • After the crash of the system, Workstation 10 reports "not enough physical memory is available" - how to fix?

    On a Windows Pro 8.1 with 32 GB memory main system, I was running three virtual machines on 10 workstation.  Then we had a power failure and the system crashed.  Once the power was back and I restarted, any attempt to run a virtual machine failed with the following (change numbers) message:

    Not enough physical memory is available to power on this virtual machine with its configured settings.

    To solve this problem, decrease the size of this virtual machine to 988 MB memory, increase the amount of physical memory for all the virtual machines to 1219 MB or adjust the parameters of extra memory to enable more virtual memory machine to swap.

    This occurs if the virtual computer, I try to start is one of those that was going or who was not working at the time of the accident.  In this case if I am as an administrator or not.

    I checked Edit/Preferences/memory, and reserved memory is set to 24480 MB - 24 GB.  Can I run a virtual machine if I set the memory size to below the value indicated in the message (in this case, 988 MB).  Of course, I don't want to run like that!

    The Windows System Control Panel reports (almost) complete 32 GB system memory. Task Manager indicates that only 7% of close to 32 GB is in use.  "About VMware Workstation", reports 32640 MB.

    How can I fix it?  I'm basically dead in the water.

  • Application error "not enough of space for the environment" in Vista.

    Could not find the right answers out there for this problem. Application error "not enough of space for the environment '. I am running Windows Vista Home Premium. Thanks for your help!

    I suggest you try compatibility mode.
    If the program is not compatible, then you try to install and run the program in compatibility mode.
    Use the following steps:
    (1) right click on the program
    2) click Properties
    3) click on the Compatibility tab
    (4) select run this program in compatibility mode and select Windows Vista or other operating system, the program has been run successfully.

    Check out the link here: make sure to run older programs in this version of Windows
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-Windows

    If you are running Windows 7 Professional or Ultimate version, install Windows Virtual PC and Windows XP mode (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/default.aspx) and run your software in Windows XP.

    If you run Windows 7 Home Premium, you cannot run Windows XP mode, but you can try VirtualBox (www.virtualbox.org) or VMware Player (www.vmware.com), or any other 3rd party software virtualization and install a separate copy of Windows XP (family or professional edition) for this purpose. You can find the virtualization software free that will run on Windows 7 Home Premium.

  • CS5 error "not enough scratch memory available" when there is plenty of it.

    Illustrator CS5 generates this error:

    When you try to save to the web. The content has a lot of images associated with it, around 1000 x 1000 px each, with masks of clipping, drop shadows and lights at 300 dpi.

    I realize that this could be difficult to flatten for JPEG and I would be fine with long delays treatment (which I get) but lacks memory?... Here is my config:

    Windows 7 x 64 ultimate

    Intel Core i7 920

    6 GB OF RAM

    Size of the pagefile: 24GB.

    Main working drive - 155 GB free.

    Secondary scratch disk - 544 GB free.

    These are all the gigabytes, not megabytes, no error. There is NO WAY that there is no the scratches enough memory available.

    And that's what the process looks like:

    Use of physical memory at this stage is 62%, delivery - 15%.

    Currently, I can work around this problem by making a screenshot of the 'Original' tab in dialog Save Web when he's there - because sometimes it's just a filled rose window.

    So, Adobe, suggestions, please?

    There is NO WAY that there is no the scratches enough memory available.

    There is, if it cannot create a temporary file, which is indeed related to the limitations for 32-bit applications and save for Web cannot exceed 2 GB if I remember correctly. That's what you say, and this has absolutely nothing to do with your system swap file. A possible solution would be to manually flatten the file before exporting it, but as pointed out by others, your workflow is not particularly sensitive and effective at first and certainly don't grave that do save for Web is designed for in the first place. Save a PDF file can be much less annoying. Also just consider using Bridge to create derivatives of the files HAVE real control.

  • El Capitan Upgrade - not enough of space for the upgrade to Photos

    HI guys.  I just upgraded my MB of 2013 at El Capitan Air, and I'm having an issue update to iPhoto to Photos.  We have the iPhoto on an external hard drive library.  When I try to update library it tells me that there is not enough space.  Of course, the obvious answer, and one that I've read here, is to get a bigger external drive.  But before I spend the $$ to do this, I want to make sure that you understand how the upgrade.  The hard drive on my Mac itself is fairly complete, so if he tries to use somehow * that * as space time to do the upgrade, it won't work even with the biggest external drive.  However, if she only cares about the space on the disk where the iPhoto library sits, a new external drive is the fix.

    Anyone know how it works?  Someone got experience with success the upgrade for the Photos on an external drive when you are main internal drive is full?

    Thanks for your help!

    Hello

    We're having trouble getting our Marlin F131B-NIR camera to run under Labview.

    The camera works (using AVT Unicam 1.1.3) using Matlab.

    The computer has MAX 4.7.4f0 and Vision Acquisition Software August 2010 (NOR-IMAQdx 3.7) and running Windows XP 32-bit SP3.  The version of Labview is v8.6, but the problem is to the MAX.

    The camera appears in MAX, as

    CAM1:AVT 1394 camera

    but when clicked on the camera, we get an error message

    Error 0xBFF69000
    Not enough memory

    We would be grateful for any suggestions how to get the camera to open up to the MAX.

    Thank you very much
