Can not take new snapshot or manage old snapshots VMware Workstation 6.5.1

I had a stable system of VMware Workstation 6.0 for a long time. I upgraded to 6.5.1 several months ago and it has not been stable. The last symptom is that I can't manage existing snapshots or create new images. The log file of the user interface indicates there is a fault of locking a file. I've gone through the other suggestions of the VMware community, but these have not helped.

Environment:

The host is Windows XP SP3 + updates

Guest is Windows XP SP3 + updates

VMware Workstation 6.5.1 build 126130

Symptoms leading to the situation:

Turn comments off

VM > overview > Snapshot Manager

Take a snapshot

Delete one before (old snapshot)

Wait a while, the bar of progression and GUI finally indicates success

Delete an another prior (old snapshot)

Wait a long time, progress bar freezes, the host OS Task Manager shows process VMware is inadmissible

Click on the upper right corner, 'X' in the Snapshot Manager to close the application, Windows gives error inadmissible usual cancel or continue, cancel selected

Windows offers to send symptom information to Microsoft for the diagnosis

Restart the host operating system

Start VMware, power reviews (it powers on OK)

Repeat the mistake (VMware Snapshot Manager crashes on delete old snapshot)

Restart the host operating system

Consider the suggestions in the community of VMware Workstation, suggestions are to delete the .lck or .lck files for comments, run chkdsk

A ran CHKDSK D: /F /R (no problem found)

Renamed all .lck files in the folder structure customer (renowned specific folders follow below)

Start VMware powered reviews, case comments (it starts very well)

Watch VMware directory, confirm that there is no new .lck files/folders

Use VMware Snapshot Manager, try to take pictures or delete old snapshot - both fail, suspended process, must cancel

Here is an excerpt of "UI current log file" (C:\Documents and Settings\gperkins. MERITER\Local Settings\Temp\vmware-gperkins\vmware-gperkins-2268.log)

Apr 16 14:27:57.853: vmui | File unexpected error updating cache snapshot of Foundry of blocking: the file is already in use

Here is a list of old .lck files that I renamed (within each are .lck files which are not renamed):

D:\vmware\WinXP VA33100XP\Delete-me2-Windows XP Professional.vmx.lck

D:\vmware\WinXP VA33100XP\Delete - me - Windows XP Professional - 000001.vmdk.lck

D:\vmware\WinXP VA33100XP\Delete - me - Windows XP Professional - 000002.vmdk.lck

D:\vmware\WinXP VA33100XP\Delete - me - Windows XP Professional - 000003.vmdk.lck

D:\vmware\WinXP VA33100XP\Delete-me-Windows XP Professional.vmdk.lck

D:\vmware\WinXP VA33100XP\Delete-me-Windows XP Professional.vmsd.lck

D:\vmware\WinXP VA33100XP\Delete-me-Windows XP Professional.vmx.lck

Any advice/suggestions would be welcome.

With the VM power off and out the VMware Workstation (close the app) try to remove the *.lck files

Now start Workstation and see if you still have questions

  • I can not create new folders. And then I discovered that I have more problems.

    I can not create new folders.   So, I tried to create a restore point, and who do not also have. He said that the restoration of the system did not completely & system files and settings were not changed.  Details: System Restore could not access a file.  It's probably because an antivirus program is running.  So I have disabled all programs and I still got the same message when I tried to use system restore.  I tried the SFC scan.  The scan SFC says he found no violation of integrity.  I could not create a new user, because it says that the user profile service does not log on.  Failed to load the user profile.  So I am totally confused. I recently followed the instructions on your site, to create a new Normal template as mine has been altered.  That worked very well, but all of a sudden, no new files cannot be created.

    Windows could not start. A recent hardwre or software change might be the cause.

    Anyone got any ideas on what I can do. IM resigned pretty much on the fact that Im going to lose everything that I just need the computer to the top and running again as soon as I can.

    Thank you very much

    Until one of the experts can give you advice on the repair of your Vista system, you might like to try to recover your files. I'm not very computer literate, but managed to achieve this when I "killed" my installation of Windows 2000. I ASSUME the same process should work with Vista. (Somewhat disturbing, Windows passwords do not seem to matter.)

    Download a Linux live CD - Linux "Puppy", I found a small one - download good and easy to use. Burn the .iso file, resulting on a CD. Insert the CD into your CD/DVD drive and start the computer. Let it boot the Linux operating system. (You may need to experiment with the BIOS settings for the computer to boot from CD before its own hard drive).

    You now have a linux regardless of your hard disk operating system. (If it is one of the major Linux programs, it will be slow when run from CD - is not a problem - just requires patience!)

    With a little luck, the Linux system will see all disks connected to your computer, including your hard drive. (The same as your normal operating system sees a USB and can copy files, for example.) You might then be able to browse the files on your hard drive and copy them to a disk external drive or USB key.

    I met a few issue permissions to write to the external drive - sorry, can't remember the flippant answer but it was very simple - and had only once. Again, it just Google the problem. There are many experts Linux display discussions out there!

    This does not allow you to start your Vista system or something like that, but if you can get your files copied to a safe place, so you can just copy them back once you have reinstalled the offending Vista system.

    I'll try to provide a link to an answer that I already proposed here - Sorry, it's a little tedious, but the link it can be useful, too.

    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=44736&TSTART=30

    One of those things that is easier to do than to describe, perhaps - lots on the internet about Linux rescue CD.

    I found a lot of useful articles on this google link:

    http://www.Google.co.UK/search?hl=en&q=using+a+Linux+live+CD+to+rescue+Win dows + files & btnG = Google + Search & meta =

    I've never been good by entering search terms. you will find many things better.

    But the good news is that it would be possible to recover at least some of your data before reinstalling.

    If you have not used Linux live CD before, first do some work at home. They are surprisingly easy, especially when you have overcome one or two of the usual initial traps for example try to burn the live CD as data rather than an iso CD then wonder why it won't start. Proabably more easy for you to do a little research on Google than for me to write pages here!

    Another alternative, if you're better to dismantle the computers than me, would be to remove it from your hard drive and install it in a suitable external hard drive enclosure. This can then be connected to another computer via a USB port and you should be able to read your files as if a USB flash drive and copy them. I only tried this with the old readers of old desktop computers with nothing on them that counts too - but it seems easy enough. Once again, just a way to copy all your stuff before wiping the hard drive of your laptop and reinstall Vista.

    Sorry if it was a little hike - hope that gives you some ideas.

  • Impossible to apply an ICC profile to display. can not understand instructions for color management

    I just upgraded again own computer with Windows7 from my old XP machine.  I have icc profiles for my two monitors.  Under XP, I had nothing wrong with 'apply' or 'associate' or 'use' of these profiles by using the MS color, and both monitors would change appearance when starting a State fully calibrated and profiled.

    Now, in Win7, I followed fairly confusing instructions, go to the color management / devices / select one of the screens / click "use my settings for this device" / add a profile box "Profiles associated with this device" using the add"" button.  Then I click on the correct profile in this box and click "Set as default profile".  Nothing happens.  I can put any weird profile as a default, and nothing happens.

    I don't even know instructions during the effective application of this profile is supposed to happen, but guess it is when you click on "set as default profile."

    "It may be a clue that the color management dialog box fails to identify my poster other than in the form ' generic PnP monitor - NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT" while the control panel NVIDIA and Windows 'Screen Resolution' box both manage to identify the poster correctly and use their own name i, e, Eizo L768 and Samsung SyncMaster.

    In addition, 'Identify display' in the dialogue box CM works exactly the opposite of how it works in the other two boxes that is Samsung (left) is number 1 in color Mgmt, but number 2 in the control panel Nvidia and Windows 'Screen Resolution' box.

    I'm stuck until I can address this issue, so would be very grateful for any help.

    Thank you

    Thanks the geek for your help.  No thank you somehow to anyone from Microsoft.  None of this reflects well on Microsoft; No to the current Windows 7 CM interface design, not the fact that after years of complaints and messing around with color management that they could have finally gotten the mechanics in place, but still cannot explain, or make it possible for mortals to use it, and certainly not the fact that they create these monsters and offer no support to any well-founded None.  Not a response to a MS person here, not a good answer to similar questions scattered throughout the Web, no after sales support during any period after the purchase of a new operating system of MS qualified (it's supposed to be provided by the OEM, but of course, none of them knows this kind of thing, how can you keep waiting if Microsoft don't?).  So - NO support.

    I can't believe I fell for the hype and purchased a new Windows System.  I swear to you that this is my LAST purchase of windows.  Microsoft, despite the amazing improvements in Win7, still do not understand.

    Here's the answer to my problem, thanks to some photographers and no thanks to Microsoft...

    1 ASSOCIATE YOUR PROFILES WITH DISPLAY AND SET as a DEFAULT value

    To apply an existing ICC profile (ICM file created by any process of calibration), follow these steps.

    Control panel / display / change display settings / advanced settings / color management / color (new!)  / Devices / select one of your displays * 1 / click "use my settings for this device" * 2 / if necessary adds profile applicable to the area of "Profiles associated with this device" using the "Add" button (if your profile is not already listed but is available somewhere on the network or the computer) / click on the correct profile in this box and click "set as default profile."

    * 1 the dialog boxes CM do not label your displays just like the other dialog boxes, they seem to lose the manufacturer and the model number information that is available elsewhere, so your display ABC model nn appears as display: 1. Generic PnP monitor .  Also note that at least on my system, display "1" was in fact display '2' in the other dialogs settings display and vice versa.

    * 2 that could think by selecting 'Use my settings for this device' would mean the Windows using your settings for this device (screen), but apparently it isn't.  That means... Well, I don't know what that means.  Perhaps it means that if you do select not her, even the next step (see below) will not help you.

    Good work so far - unnecessarily complex - and tortuous, but has a certain logic.  Unfortunately it is not nothing at all, until you train the secret key.  Well it seems that the above should do what you want, you need to do something that is quite obvious and not mentioned at all in the General discussion of the help and apparently not known by the 67 people who have read my question.  In fact, it is listed in the section to help Ms... at the bottom of the "Description of the color management settings" and after a largely incomprehensible mass of things that appear not to be relevant, there is a link that is not listed in the content at the top and almost impossible to see... To enable or disable calibration loading Windows

    2 ACTIVATE THE CALIBRATION BY WINDOWS LOADING

    Here's the little hidden from the help file...

    1. To enable or disable calibration loading of Windows, you must be logged in with an account of a user with administrator privileges.

    2. Click to open color management.

    3. Click the Advanced tab, and then click change system default values.

    4. Click on the Advanced tab in the color - default system, dialog management, and do one of the following:

      • To allow Windows to load and display calibrations, check the box use Windows display calibration.

      • To prevent Windows from loading screen calibration, clear use Windows display calibration check box.

    5. Click Close in the color management - default settings dialog box of the system.

    6. Click Close in the color management dialog box.

    Not only it obscure, it confounds even by the fact that you are in the same dialog twice, but the second time is the reference color - default system management instead of the color management as it was the first two times.   But only on the second time is the required box enabled to allow you to check or do a system wide setting.  Easy to miss.

    Experts of either MS doesn't know about it and can not find in the help files or the other, or that they couldn't be bothered to answer my question.  In any case a) I hope this helps someone else, and b) I hope that Mrs. lift their game to support and actually meets the future to frustrated and powerless people that I was.  Thanks Microsoft for losing a day of my life.

  • BlackBerry smartphones can not install new applications after upgrade to version 5

    Since I downloaded something like "Blackberry OS version 5" on the web and updated my device using the Desktop Manager, I was able to download new applications.

    I managed to get the BBM on - the phone would have been useless if not - but no more applications will be downloaded.

    Everything seems to work, if I download via the web, or use the Desktop Manager to install applications, there are no mistakes and he said it worked - but there is no icon of the application in a folder.

    For example, BB app world: says Office Manager installed, but it is not accessible, because there is no icon anywhere.

    My carrier say they can not me more help because it is a question of device.

    I got "view all", as well as the icons are certainly not hidden.

    I've tried dozens of times battery pull.

    I tried a backup using Desktop Manager, then factory reset the device, and then restored - several times.

    I tried to uninstall applications through Desktop Manager and install them again.

    I don't understand what the settings are meant to be changed after I do a factory reset and restore from a backup.

    I have a webcam built in on my laptop, a lifecam software, but I can't take pictures in offline mode. It always tells me to connect to a camera. Any ideas?

    The webcam is not a lifecam. This is why it does not. The lifecam program (I think) is reserved for the lifecam cameras. What is the brand / model of the laptop? You need to maybe go to some site and see if there is a program for that. It'll probably work in Skype or something

    Your memory is low and may cause disconnection.

    Cold boot your PC and launch the dm,

  • BlackBerry smartphones can not send new text of the messages folder

    I have a Bold 9650.  I have, unfortunately, updated for the new OS and now I am unable to send texts from the news of my Messages folder.  I can send an email and response to text, but when I open the menu and click on 'Another new message' there is nothing there.  It's a dead link.  I have to go in my contacts folder, compose and send text, then close to everything in my Contacts folder.  Is this a bug or something put in place bad?

    This new OS is horrible.  He got all these bells and whistles, with none of the previous operating system usability.

    Don't give up quite yet, Stacie.

    OS 6 is a solid operating system with many advantages over the OS 5.  If you have recently upgraded to it, your phone can not be used to it and she can act a little.  This is normal and with a few tweaks here and there, we can get it just how you want.

    A battery pull will probably solve this problem.  Remove the battery while your phone is on, then replace it.  Return to your Messages folder and see if the option appears.

    If Yes... Yay!  If not... let know us and we will try something else.
