• Very slow network with 10 Workstation and Windows 8 / 8.1 Windows

  Hello

  I come to you because I have a problem with the network with 10 Workstation and Windows 8 / 8.1

  In fact, if I copy files from or to a virtual machine with my host of Windows 8 by sharing Windows (SMB / CIFS), it is very very slow and unusable.

  Example: My host is a Windows 8 x 64 and Windows 8 x 64 host: transfer speed is about 100 or 200 KB/s and often 0 KB/s (transfer seems to be paused).

  With a guest Windows 8.1, same problem.

  After many tests, I also tried with Windows PE 5 (same kernel as Windows 8.1): same problem, unusable.

  But, miracle, if I use "Utility MSI - X OFF" Intel, I reboot and the problem disappears.

  There:https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?lang=eng & DwnldID = 18946

  Someone in this community, said that it have the same problem and a workaround solution was not to use Intel e1000e but e1000 then: I must admit, it works.

  With e1000, speed is around 30 to 60 MB/s and stable.

  But, by default, 10 Workstation e1000e value when I create a new VM Windows 8.1, so it's a problem... Do not manually change for each new virtual machine and explain this to my students.

  Please, you can reproduce this bug and fix it?

  Thank you very much.

  New workstation 10.0.2 fixed this bug. Perfect.

• Linux host freezes with 10.0.6 Workstation and Windows 7 comments

  Hello

  
  

  I am now quite desperate because it is really preventing me from doing my job.

  
  

  I deleted Windows and I installed a fresh Kubuntu 14.04.02 (LTS) with 64 bit under my desk. I also installed VMWare Workstation 10.0.6 to run my development machines. I am now having serious problems:

  
  

  Every now and then, my full host is the gel if I'm running a Windows 7 virtualized on my workstation. The mouse only moves very slow and all the windows are very (!) slow response. My CPU monitor list all 4 CPU to 100%. If I managed to open the monitor system (or top on the console), I can see that vmware-vmx and kwin burn most of my CPU resources. If I wait 10 seconds to a minute, the system becomes usable. Now CPU goes down to normal. But as soon as I start to move a window (any one), the thing is happening again.

  
  

  Symptoms in short:

  • HOST: Linux Kubuntu 14.04.02 (x 64) on Intel i5 CPU with 8 GB of RAM and running on SSD (ext4).
  • COMMENTS: Several Windows 7 (x 32) several software running. Assigned 1 CPU and 1 GB of RAM. It comes on several guest computers.
  • Every now and then, all my CPU taking nearly 100% 4. The host CPU is used by vmware-vmx and kwin (used above) processes. Sometimes after 15 minutes, sometimes directly after turning on the prompt. No idea on reason.
  • Host of mouse, Windows, and OS works very very slow.
  • Meanwhile, Windows 7 virtual machine is inactive! Energy saving or screen saver are all off!
  • If I manage to run Taskmanager guests, I don't see an action (sometimes TaskManager itself using 60% of CPU!). Looks to me that the host is down, not comments!
  • My host is running an SSD (256 GB).
  • VM log file does not show something during this phase.
  • VMware.log attached.

  
  

  What I tried:

  • I disabled 'Accelerate 3D' for all my virtual machines.
  • I have re-installed VMWare Tools on the guest computers.
  • I run VMWare workstation with vblank_mode = 0/usr/bin/vmware
  • I recreated the machine with less hardware as possible and recharged the .vmd.
  • I converted to virtual prior to the current format format disk image (VMWare asked me to the front step, I said 'yes').
  • I have inserted a separate network card (NIC) and disabled the network card that is embedded in the BIOS.
  • I disabled the onboard graphics in the BIOS and added a card NVIDIA GeForce 8400 PCIx16 (using NVIDIA binary drivers provided by Kubuntu).
  • I removed the CD-ROM of the virtual, Audio computer, diskettes and any unused material.
  • I have tried using cpulimit strangle vmware-vmx and kwin on my host, but without success. System remains unusable in this situation.

  No success at all.

  Is there anything else I can do to put my environment in a productive state? You can imagine that this always happens in the worst situations :-(

  Any ideas?

  Thank you!

  I found this page:

  Disqus - Arch Linux becomes insensitive to khugepaged

  It seems that this did the trick!

  I ran (as root):

  never echo >/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/defrag

  madvise echo >/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/defrag

  Since then, everything works fine. :-)

• VMWare Workstation and Windows 7 64 bit

  Someone had problems with VMWare Workstation running Windows 7 64 bit? My computer hangs when creating the virtual machine guests. I also have VirtualBox running very stable with Windows 7. I was wondering if anyone has had problems? VMWare has a new version of 7 who suppose to be stable with Windows 7. I am skeptical. Your comments are welcome.

  "There is a time and place for that. The time is... Never. You can figure out the place on your own.

  I have no problem with VMware Workstation 7.0.1 build 227600 and Windows 7 Ultimate edition. It works like desingned.

• Media players and windows Explorer crash

  Hello

  Recently I got this problem where my windows Explorer crashed whenever I opened Control Panel, specifically, whenever I tried to view the system information. I tried a few "solutions" that I saw on the internet nothing has worked so far - this all started about 2 months ago, when I tried to update my graphic drivers.

  Then a few days ago I was watching movies with my laptop and I fell asleep while the film was presented, my laptop is not plugged the battery flat overnight. When I woke up and return the laptop computer he would play no matter what video file with any of my media players (Windows Media Player, GOM or VLC) - when I try to open the video file, it simply says that GOM/VLC/WM has stopped working, then closes.

  Important notes:

  -I am able to watch movies if I boot in safe mode (there is simply no sound.)

  -I can also go in control panel - system of information if I boot in safe mode.

  -I am running windows 7 (with the latest updates)

  -J' use a pavilion dv6.

  -All music files open with media players, the problem is just video files.

  I suspect it's a graphics related question, but I'm not sure. It works as it should when it is in safe mode, but I don't know how to say what is causing the problem.

  Many thanks for any help :)

  Hi Mithrandir,

  I found the problem!

  I updated the graphics driver and that seemed to do the trick - the players videos play in all media and is not any control panel crash or media players.

  The only problem I have now is that after the backlight driver update does not work (although it is a driver issue it seems that many people have had) - I was wondering if you know if it is possible to reinstall the previous driver (not just go back to it, but have in fact all this re installed because I think there's maybe a corrupt file or something like that which was causing the) problem)

  So, as I thought it was the graphics driver that caused the outcome...

• Disconnect Linux guests and Windows in Win7x64 host of sound

  I use a Dell OptiPlex 790 integrated with audio.

  Periodically a Windows prompt, or every time I try to use audio on Linux hosts, I get the "error opening audio device 0:  "A device ID has been used that is out of range of your system.  Sound will start disconnected. "

  (I don't have a control panel RealTek).

  On Win7x64 host:

  I downloaded and installed the audio driver of Dell (Realtek, ATI?).

  I disabled the ATI audio device high definition in the host and activated exclusive reading.  I also disabled the two microphones in sounds.

  Who took care of the issue of Windows and my Win7x64 guest comments can now read the audio data without disconnecting.

  However, the above has not set the same question on Linux.

  Under Linux, I went my Gnome settings, under his and turned off the microphones, closed the window settings of her Gnome and re-connected the audio device to the default sound in the virtual machine host.  That will allow me to hear the chirp in Linux system.  However, whenever I try to open the application of Gnome sound settings, or to say an audio app like Audacity, sound disconnects with the original error.

  There must be a solution out there.  Surely, after all these years people report these problems, some must have found an answer?

  Finally found the answer to my problem.  I have uninstalled the Realtek software and disabled audio all output devices.  Then I restarted and connected via USB a SoundBlaster X - fi Go! Adapter audio pro.  The software is installed on my host, rebooted it, and then reset all the guests computer virtual for the audio device by default.  Now, all of my guests, so Windows or Unix play sounds.

• Free virtualization software takes supported Windows 7 as operating system host and Windows Server 2003 as a guest operating system?

  People,

  Hello. I need to install the Windows 7 host virtualization software, and then install Windows Server 2003 as a guest operating system.

  VMware Workstation supports Windows 7 as operating system host and Windows Server 2003 as a guest operating system, but it's not free download.

  People know that supports virtualization software free Windows 7 as operating system host and Windows Server 2003 as the operating system invited?

  Thanks in advance.

  As I said in your previous post, VMWare Player is a free download and does not support Win7 as host and Win2k3 as a guest.  VMWare Player is also included with VMWare Workstation, you can imply that most of the time something that supports VMWare Workstation as a guest operating system is also a guests supported for the reader.

  And unlike previous versions, player 3 includes the ability to create virtual machines base.  For many people, especially those who are starting just in virtualization, player is sufficient.

  VMWare Workstation, although not free, can be installed as a 30 day trial.  After the trial, you can not start your virtual machines in my computer, but because the player is included in the installation, you can still run your virtual machines in the drive without having to uninstall anything.  So just install Workstation.  After the trial expires, if you wish that the advanced features of the workstation, then buy it.  If not, just continue to use the drive.

• What support VMware Windows 7 as a guest host and Windows Server 2003 as the operating system operating system?

  People,

  Hello.

  Because my laptop is preinstalled Windows 7 and cannot dual boot multiple operating systems. I need to install VMware in Windows 7 host and then install Windows Server 2003 as a guest operating system.

  I installed VMware Server 2.0.2 in Windows 7 and Windows Server 2003 operating system as a guest host. Everything works fine for a while. But VMware Server Home Page https://mylaptop:8333 / IU cannot display more.

  I found that Windows 7 is not a host for VMware Server 2 and strange operating system might happen at any time. I found that 'VMware Player 3' is fully supported in Windows 7 as host operating system but is not taken in charge of Windows Server 2003 as a guest operating system.

  People knows what product VMware Windows 7 support as host operating system and Windows Server 2003 as the operating system prompted?

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  IMHO, I think that Workstation is the vmware product just for you, the requirements

  It supports Windows 7 as a facilitator and Windows 2003 as a host with no problems. You can be confident about it at 100%.

  Best wishes / Saludos.

• VMware in network bridge: Freezed host with WS6.5 and Windows Vista x 64 or Windows 7 x 64 host operating system

  Hello

  I have a problem with VMware Workstation 6.5 on 64-bit Windows host.

  First, I installed VMware Workstation 6.5.0 118166 on my x 64 Windows Vista SP1 host, and I had a weird problem when working with network on my host system, no matter there is a guest running or not. The problem is when I try to connect/disconnect from VPN connections or plug/unplug my network from my LAN socket cable, etc., host OS freezes suddenly with no answer to anything whatsoever, no movement of the mouse, without strikes, nothing.

  After sometimes, I installed Windows 7 Beta 7000 x 64 on my computer and have no problem with it until I installed VMware Workstation 6.5.0 118166 on it: the gel problem once again. I thought it may be a problem on this specific build of VMware, so I downloaded and installed the latest version (6.5.1 126130) on my system, but the problem persists.

  After playing with a large number of settings, I find that if I delete the service "VMware Bridge Protocol" of my network card, the problem does not happen.

  I searched the forum but I can't find anything like that, so I wonder if anyone can help me with that?

  My network card is an edge ' Realtek RTL8168B/8111 Family PCI - E Gigabit Ethernet NIC (NDIS 6.0) b ' on my card mother Gigabyte GA-MA770-DS3.

  Other features of the system:

  AMD Athlon 64 X 2 5200 + CPU

  6.0 GB of RAM

  Seagate ST3500320AS SATA HARD drive

  nVidia GeForce 8600GT 512 MB video card

  Thank you.

  Which driver version you have installed for your network (NIC) card?   This link shows a version of driver Vista/Win2008 6.216 (dated 2009/02/26) available.  The same driver should work as well for Win7.

  If the above does not resolve the problem, view the properties for the NETWORK adapter and temporarily disable all 'Task Offload"or other characteristics"discharge"to see if that helps.

• Tecra S3 Windows Explorer crashes on copying files and other actions

  Tecra S3 Windows Explorer crashes frequently on the copy of files and other actions. In the system event log, you find the event ID 26 Application Popup Explorer.exe Application error problem (in Dutch: Toepassingsfout) read write memory error.

  Hello

  Unfortunately, this path is not easy to say anything because, who know what did you do with OS and how is your personal configuration. If this problem occurs because some time roll back OS to an earlier time using System Restore tool.

  Also check this page useful http://www.helpwithwindows.com/techfiles/explorer-crashes.html maybe you'll find some answers there.

• I keep getting "the trust relationship between this workstation and the primary domain failed" error windows 2008R2

  Hi all

  I appreciate your help. And I hope that this issue has been addressed previously, although I couldn't find any solution there.

  I manage a domain windows 2008 with 3 domain controllers. Recently my workstations continue to fall out of the field. I get "the trust relationship between this workstation and the primary domain failed" to many workstations.

  I know how to fix properly, use netdom.exe. But the mistakes keep coming back. I don't know where to look for the source of this error. A possible problem might be the time in any field is out of sync. But all my workstations synchronize with the domain controller with the primary domain controller role and seems to work correctly.

  Are there other sources, that I need to check? This is getting frustrating.

  Thank you much for the help.

• Cannot run a few rare games and programs, error: Windows Explorer crashes

  Original title: Explorer Crash!

  I am running windows xp sp3. My explore blocks every minute. The hook of the office and taskbar, but the programs that run on top continues to operate smoothly and even I can work with them. Then I open the Task Manager and end Explorer and it starts again. It works very well for a minute and then it crashes again.
  Now I am unable to run some games and programs. They close automatically when explore crashes. Help, please!

  If I were you, I would uninstall the problematic Windows Desktop Search (you can always reinstall it later), reboot and see how things work.

  Since it is not supposed to fix a system that may be achieved malicious software, I would then scan your system for malware:

  Download, install, update and do a quick scan with these free malware detection programs (not at the same time):

  Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free
  SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

  SAS will probably be a lot that you can just let it remove tracking cookies.

  They can be uninstalled later if you wish.

  The scans by operating clean, restart and see how things work.

  Here's how to solve the Explorer Shell Extensions of (these are generic, but still good instructions for troubleshooting):

  When the Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer) is wrong (especially when right click), begin to suspect third-party add-ons explore extension.

  Those who would be the Explorer extensions that do not belong to Microsoft.  This means that extensions that you have added.  Solution Explorer extensions are generally well and installation of certain applications will install extensions from Explorer solutions for you, give you a choice and sometimes they can be added without your knowledge when you
  install new software.

  Solution Explorer extensions are sometimes added as a new right-click option, you see on folders and files (like the scan of this file, open that file, play this song).

  If there is something in particular that you do during exploration that you know will be the cause of the problem, which will help focus on the problem and the help that you suddenly know, when you have found and corrected.  If you can get there when you want it, make an adjustment and then there is no message the next time you don't do anything, you do, you have found and corrected.

  First of all you need a way to see what modules explore you have installed now and a way to turn them off (not uninstall them) so you can understand that we are at the origin of the problem.  You can have a lot of extensions not installed Microsoft don't even know you about.

  Download ShellExView here to see what Explorer extensions you have loaded:

  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/shexview.html

  ShellExView does not install anything on your computer, simply of runs and displays.

  After launch ShellExView (shexview.exe double click) and acknowledge the security warning, adjust the column widths you see everything
  clearly.  Under Options, choose "Mark non-Microsoft Extensions" and extensions not Microsoft will be in pink, but on some systems which is a difficult color to see, so click on display, choose the columns and move Microsoft column closer to the top (Mount), so you can see on your screen without having to scroll left and right.

  Click on the header of column called Microsoft to sort display (by clicking on the column heading in Microsoft) then all the non Microsoft extensions are at the top and easy to see.  They will say 'No' since they are not Microsoft extensions.

  Non-Microsoft extensions would be things you have added (non-Microsoft) and are what you should be suspect.

  You can also Google the name of a suspect add-on and see if there is any success on the mistakes of the DEP and what other people have done about it.

  You can Google something like:

  Explorer XP crashing

  You must complete your suspect on behalf of adds on.

  See what kind of search results hits you get and are looking for solutions or situations that sound like yours.

  I'm not a defender of trial and error, but I can't think of another way to do...

  Right click and disable the non Microsoft extensions one at a time (or maybe in groups of 3-5), keep a list, so you can enable them again later if you wish. The result of the change is immediate and no reboot is necessary.  Test your failure condition.  If the Explorer starts to act normally, you'll know that some extension you just disabled in this group of 3-5 is the culprit, then you can start to enable them one by one until the Explorer fails again.

  If you recognize all the extensions that have been added or recently downloaded, start with these first.

  Disabling the extension does not uninstall the extension - it is just disabled.  You can always enable it later, so keep track of things by writing them down.

  Disable them one at a time or in small groups (to make things go faster) until your right click does not generate an error, and then restart and try again.  You have disabled the last extension would be suspicious.

  You can also disable all non-Microsoft extensions, restart, test your fault condition and allow them one at a time until you find the one that generates the failure condition.

  If you have a large number of extensions, you can disable them is small groups, 3-5 at a time instead of 1 at a time until your system starts to behave.  When it does not, you will know that the problem is one of the extensions of this small group and you can enable members of the Group at a time until the problem returns, then the problem is with the last extension that you enabled.

  The hope is that you will find extensions that is causing the problem and then you can figure out what on this subject - either uninstall it or see if you can get an update of the author of the extension of their web page.

  I have not your problem, but I can when you toggle extensions, the extension is immediately disabled, so disable an extension does not seem to require a restart, but if you think that you have found the problem, I reboot and repeat the test in any case to be sure the problem disappeared.

  If you post your non-Microsoft extensions list, maybe someone will recognize it as a potential problem.

  If you find the offending extension that's the problem, please let us know what it is that I can add to my list.
