Cannot change the number of processors present on the drive

Hello

I am a new user but have searched the forums and FAQS and can't find the answer.

I have VMWare Workstation Player version 12 for Linux.  Host is 23 Fedora on a processor quad-core i5 with 8 GB of RAM.  Guest operating system is Windows 7.  It's for personal use, so I don't have a license key.

The question I have, is that several parameters is not editable, especially the number of processors. The selection is grayed out and set to 1.  In addition, the hard drive and display settings (graphics card) cannot be changed either.

I tried both with the virtual machine off and with it works.  Doesn't make a difference, the settings are grayed out.

I searched everywhere for an explanation, but have not found a clue.  Help, please!

Thank you

DW

The settings are grayed out when:
-the virtual machine is running
-the virtual machine is suspended
-l' virtual computer runs in background

If poweroff the virtual machine with a full stop of the guest.
If it still does not - check if you are the owner of the vmx file

  • cannot change the drive letter of the external hard drive in XP

    I bought an Iomega 1 TB external hard drive and I can not change the drive letter.  I have a click right on my computer and select manage.  When I click on disk management, it does not recognize the outside.  The weird part is that it appears in my computer and I can access the drive without problem.  I disconnected the drive of my XP machine and connected to my Vista laptop and I was able to access it through the management of the disks without problem.  Iomega support claims that it is most likely a problem with my XP machine.  Any ideas how to solve this problem?

    Hello rolandboy,

    Thank you for visiting the Microsoft answers community.

    Try to use diskpart to complete the task.

    -Click Start > run > type diskpart and press enter
    -At the prompt, type list volume , press enter
    -At the prompt, type select volume 1 (where 1 is the number of the volume is the volume that you need to change the drive letter)
      
    -At the prompt, type assign letter = A (where A is the letter you want to assign your volume)

    Close your CMD, and you should be finished.

    Hello

    I have two laptops running Vista. On each of them, I have an external USB or SATA drive that I use as a backup partition.
    I have my own backup utility, and I like to use the letter B for the backup.

    When I change sometimes the discs I've met this parameter is incorrect problem on two computers - sometimes I can change using the method above and sometimes I can't.  I tried to stop the disk cache, anti-virus etc etc etc. with totally inconsistent results so far as I can tell.

    Today I tried to boot mode safe mode (F8 at startup) and tried the same steps as before and it worked on the first attempt.

    Maybe it's worth a try.

    PS: I'm leaving a beginner in the Linux world, so explanation would be welcome

    Hello

    Welcome to the VMware community forums.

    I don't think that the problem is related to a beginner linux user, it's a problem triggered by a specific hardware configuration.

    If you look at your log file again, there is an error just before the vmware process attempts to core dump. The dump is a reaction to the problem.

    vmx| E105: PANIC: VERIFY bora/vmcore/vmx/main/timeTracker_user.c:238 bugNr=148722
    

    If you then put the bug number into google, you get:

    http://KB.VMware.com/kb/1227

    Which indicates in return you can set a configuration file to specify the actual frequency of your processor.

    Your processor is an Intel (r) Core i5-3570 CPU @ 3.40 GHz

    The linux variant of the config.ini file they speak on windows hosts is/etc/vmware/config

    Hi imoffshore,

     

    Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forums.

    We would like to get some more information from you to help solve your problem. You better, please answer the following questions.

    ·         When was the last time it worked?

    ·         Remember to make changes to the computer recently?

    ·         You have security software installed on the computer?

    ·         You get the error message?

    When you open the tab automatic updates in the control panel or My Computer property sheet, all options of configuration of the automatic updates may be grayed out. This happens due to one of the following reasons:

    1. You are not logged as administrator (or equivalent)
    2. Strategy of automatic updates is enabled
    3. Automatic updates (and Windows Update) access is blocked by group policy

    The options available for automatic updates.

    You must make some changes in the windows registry.

    Important: this section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

  • Cannot change the font color on the desktop icons

    I am running windows vista. I can't change the font as in windows xp. No matter if the background is dark or the police is always black... Help!

    Hello

    Thanks for posting the question in Microsoft Answers.

    I apologise for the inconvenience.

    Unfortunately, you cannot change the font color of desktop.

    Because desktop wallpaper images have different colors, it is easy for the colors of unreadable fonts if they are on top of the same color in a background image to display. For example, a black font on top a dark part of the background image or a white font on a white part of a background image.

    The desktop icon fonts are dynamic and show white on dark background and change in white with a shadow effect black on a light background.

    In previous versions of Windows, it did not matter what color you chose to fund policies, some would still make invisible because of the background color of a desktop wallpaper. The user was constantly moving icons around the desktop computer to another colorful area where the police could be read. This was the source of a large number of complaints from users asking for a policy that was still visible, regardless of the color that was behind the police.

    However, you can change the theme and see if that helps:

  • Cannot change the captions

    I have a form that was created by printing a worksheet excel to PDF, then we are changing in Livecycle ES - the form fields have been added.   However, we cannot change the captions for a group of radio buttons and options as insert text appear grayed out in the menu.   Is it just something weird about it because of how it was created?

    Sorry, I misunderstand the question.  When you import a PDF file (created from Word, Excel or any other application), you are presented with a dialog box that gives you two options... 'Create an interactive form with fixed pages' or 'create an interactive form with a fluid layout.  If you select the option 'fixed pages', a form is created where all the master key is represented as an image and cannot be changed, also, only form 'interactive' objects can be added to the form, such as fields, radio buttons, list boxes etc..  As you have noticed, the "non-interactive" objects like "static text", and "rectangles" are disabled.  In addition, the non-interactive properties such as captions (static text) are also disabled.  LC Designer is bahaving as expected, it is supposed to give the form designer a very accurate copy of the presentation of the original document.

    If you import a PDF file and select 'Create an interactive form with a fluid layout', the 'standard' of the original PDF is editable and properties of objects, and non-interactive form Explorer (legends, etc.) will be available.

  • Good for laptop - cannot change the ISP; keep returning to a previous provider

    Windows 7 laptop of my grandson, I'm migrating FIREFOX (excellent resource!) of my aging XP desktop. An existing Mozilla installation on the guarded device tries to connect to an ISP in Sydney (1000km) which kept out, I guess because the signal is too weak. Too far - on the Internet?

    Reinstalled my new ISP contact, reinstalled a fresh copy of Firefox, copied the old profile XP (just underneath the random string file name), but cannot change the fault. Firefox at startup tries to raise the old ISP (Sydney) and expires, and then allowing me to establish a manual connect with the ISP (my current) new.
    Perhaps a clue: in my Firefox troubleshooting info, change preferences, the browser start page is the address of 'old', with 'override mstone' ignore, what look like prints of registry entries, but I can't change all that - and maybe it's wise! An annoying secondary question: on arrival, the laptop listed no administrator user. So I am me came as an administrator, but I wonder if a past or current even Admin hidden could register (or other) entered resistant to change.

    Late discovery: the laptop is apparently infected with browser pirate btsearch.name. Search Google throws a series of removal procedures, and I'm now working through them.
    What Miss me?

    Sometimes a problem with Firefox can be a result of malware installed on your computer, you may not be aware of.

    You can try these free programs to search for malicious software that work with your existing anti-virus software:

    Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP, if you do not already have one.

    I used my iMac as a hard drive backup to my macbook once. Now when I update to El Capitan he says that it cannot be updated due to being of a backup. How do I change the drive mode so I can update?

    If you use your iMac as a backup to disk using Time Machine look for a folder called Backups.backupdb.

    It's what keeps you upgraded your operating system, you must remove it.

    Copy everything first if you are on a different drive. It would be wise to create a backup of the iMac on another drive also.

    Check system preferences > Time Machine and make sure that the iMac is not selected as the Time Machine drive.

  • Satellite A200 - cannot change the language on the CD OEM Toshiba

    Hoping to find help on how to change my Toshiba Satellite A200 language Spanish to English.

    I asked a friend to buy me this laptop to Spain, unknowing it OEM came Spanish language and the recovery CD is only as only Spanish but I do not understand Spanish and I was wrong to go on the laptop because I don't want to click on the wrong thing in Spanish.

    Even when I install programs, it automatically installs in Spanish and it's really frustrating.

    Someone HELP!

    Your laptop was purchased in Spain, and therefore the Vista operating system is also in the Spanish language.
    You cannot change it to English without buying a new drive for Microsoft Vista in English.

    In some cases, it would be possible to install a MUI (Multilanguage) package for Vista, but it works with Vista Edition full (and businesses?)
