• can not power on virtual machine after activating the VR

  This is the error I get after activation of the replication of Vsphere and turn on/off the machine. I say feeding because allowing the VR blocks virtual machine. If I disable the replication, the machine starts correctly. The Bayt thing is that I can reproduce a 80 GB drive on this machine, but the minute I have activate the duplication of a 2 TB drive, I have this problem.

  Any idea?

  "An error was received from the ESX host turning on VM Novastor.
  Unable to start the virtual machine.
  Power DevicePowerOn module has failed.
  Unable to create the virtual SCSI device for scsi0:1, ' / vmfs/volumes/4ffda1f1-22a39f8e-bd7d-e61f13f6d8ff/Novastor/Novastor.vmdk'
  Impossible to attach the 'hbr_filter' filter to scsi0:1: limit exceeded (195887110). "

  I guess that's under the limit of 2032GB of Vsphere replication then why make this mistake when I enable replication for this disc?

  2 TB is equal to 2 048 GB that exceeds the maximum size supported 2 032 GB (= to 1,984375).

  Hi Robrw,

  1. when exactly you receive this error?

  2. don't you make changes to the computer before this problem?

  You can try to rename the catroot2 folder and check if it helps.

  Step 1:

  a. Click Start and in run type C:\windows\system32 and click ok

  b. find the Catroot2 folder. Right-click on Catroot2 and rename it to Catroot2.old

  If you are not able to do the normal mode, try to start in safe mode and rename

  Check out the link for more information on starting your computer in SafeMode below:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/315222

  Step 2:

  If you are unable to access the catroot2 folder, and then try to change the permissions on the files and check if it helps.

  See the following article:

  How to capture a file or a folder in Windows XP

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/308421

  Step 3:

  You can also try to temporarily disable third-party security software and firewalls and check what is happening.

  Note: Activate the security software after the resolution of the problem.

  Hope this information is useful.

• Error: "the process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process." when treid to install the device driver

  Original title: Windows cannot install the drivers

  I had a lot of trouble installing the drivers on my Windows computer.  I went straight in the Device Manager and deleted the devices I tried to install and reinstalled them, I went into safe mode, I got Windows to run the console and only the basic process and run from there Device Manager... no matter what I do the same mistake.

  "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process".

  Even after a restore of the system, he did this, and I don't know what to do anymore.  Only devices that have been previously installed work.

  What's more important install my Blackberry software because my phone is broken.  The software cannot detect my phone because the drivers have not been installed.  Most of the devices I can use with Linux (I have Windows Vista and Ubuntu running on the same computer), but RIM don't make Blackberry for Linux software, so I have to do it on Windows.

• executable files: cannot access the file because it is being used by another process

  Hello
  I created a file named test.bat on my desk
  baptized "test.bat" and sent the notebook, wrote "REM" and recorded.
  so, I closed my notebook and reopened, has added another "REM" and saved the file again.
  then I tried to rename, move the file to another folder and delete
  everything went without any problems.

  But if I create the file and run it, the command prompt will appear for a while and then disappear.
  I can rename or move the file without any problem,
  But if I try to edit the file in Notepad, I get this error:

  The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.

  and the file is not saved.

  also, if I try to delete the file, it seems to be deleted until I press F5, the file appears again.
  When you try to rename/move this new file, I get another error:

  File Access Denied

  You need permission to perform this action

  You need the permission of the administrator of the computer to make changes
  in this file

  It seems the file is opened (or if I choose to delete) after a few minutes, then it is not if I try to access
  the file (I kept pressing F5 every few seconds for 15 minutes and the file is missing)

  the problem appears if occuar with any file name, anywhere, not just the office or home by car, not even on the same disk,
  while I had no problem when I started in an old installation of windows xp and repeat the same steps.

  Hello

  It is the result of malware, then do a very thorough check and when the system is
  clean see the following message to remove this error.

  If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
  scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
  resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be more difficult to detect as the
  cause.

  No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
  to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
  its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one

• Virtual MACHINE cannot access the vlan

  We have a vSwitch with a portgroup that services our Production network with no VLAN specific specified (0).  Gave us access to a new vlan on a physical Cisco switch level in our chassis and basic in our data center switches.

  VSwitch physical maps show the new VLAN and production networks when you look at the vSwitch properties and the port group.

  However we still cannot get out on the side of the chassis with a configured virtual computer to access the new VLAN.  Do we need to add a new port group to the vSwitch specifying the new vlan?  Any other ideas?

  I have attached a doc showing the 101 new VLAN as a network, that NETWORK cards can see.

  Thank you

  Morrisos

  This VLAN 101 are arriving in two network cards?

  If not, configure the two network cards.

  If the vlan is marked on your switch, when you create a port group, set VLAN ID 101.

  Also tried copying the VMDK to a new location, but I get an error that the "Device or resource busy" I guess something has locked but I can not find it.

  Any ideas... I'm fighting.

  You must use ps - auwwwx | grep VMname on all ESXs.

  Then, you can use kill command (if the virtual machine does not respond).

• Media Player will not work "Windows Media Player cannot play the file because the required video codec is not installed on your computer."

  I currently have Windows 8.  However, when I try to play a seminar online on the internet, I get the following message is displayed:

  Windows Media Player can not play the file because the required video codec is not installed on your computer.

  Can someone point me in the right direction to solve this problem?

  Please and thank you!

  Hello

  Welcome to the Microsoft Community forums.

  I understand that you are not able to play a Webinar on the windows computer using Windows Media Player 8.

  I would be grateful if you can provide us with the following information to help us better understand the issue.

  1 you get an error code or the name of the codec to install?

  2. are you able to play other files with Windows media player?

  3. What are the file format of the multimedia files that you are not able to play using Windows media player?

  4. are you referring to the video file saved using Webinar?

  This problem is caused if the file format is not supported by windows media player.

  Codec compresses or decompresses media files. Windows media player uses codecs to play and create media files.

  See the link below for the types of files supported by windows media player.

  https://support.Microsoft.com/kb/316992?WA=wsignin1.0

  You can also refer to a link to find out what codecs are installed on your computer.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/codecs-frequently-asked-questions#codecs-frequently-asked-questions=Windows-8

  Additional information:

  See the link below if you receive a playback audio codec error but video does not play when you play files multimedia in Windows Media player 11, as shown in the link also applies to Windows Media player 12.

  2010-09-15 13:55:16, Info CSI 00000185 [SR] cannot repair the military record [l:24 {12}] "cryptsvc.dll" Microsoft-Windows-cryptsvc-dll, Version = 6.0.6002.18005, pA = PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE_INTEL (0), Culture neutral, VersionScope = 1 nonSxS, PublicKeyToken = {l:8 b:31bf3856ad364e35}, type neutral, TypeName neutral, neutral public key in the store, file is missing "

  Following the advice of another thread, I extracted the file from my Vista DVD and stored in c:\windows\temp, but when I try to copy in c:\windows\system32 I get a message saying that the file is being used by another process.

  I'm not sure what the file is still so I don't know how use it.

  Any help would be much appreciated.

  Thank you.

• Cannot access a file because it is locked (running ESXi)

  I managed to work around this problem by restarting the ESXi host, so it's not critical.

  I had a case where I couldn't start a virtual machine because its files were always locked by a process running on the ESXi host that was running at the origin of the VM.

  I know that with the ordinary ESX hosts, there is a procedure to kill the process that still has the locked files.  However, with ESXi I do not have a console to connect to.

  Not to mention that the computer restarting host physical ESXi, how can you find a process and end it on a locked files VM ESXi host?

  Thank you!

  You do not have to restart the ESXi host, but you will need to use the UNSUPPORTED as Nick shell.  Once you do, you can use ps to find the process and kill to kill the process.  You can enable ssh as well, but who would need to display the console not supported first then edit le/etc/inetd.conf.

  I don't know why you get this.  You can try the MSI installer instead of the EXE - download it from here http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.3/enu/AdbeRdr930_en_US.msi
