• The former "cannot change the power state of virtual machine: the process has exited with an error: end of the error message" thing again (Fedora 8/Server 1.08)

  OK, this problem beautifully undescriptive I've seen caused by what seems to be dozens of things happening for me.

  I made the mistake of horrible update my FC8 kernel to the latest one (2.6.26.8 - 57.fc8).  Mind you, that's all that's changed.  It was with a 1.06 server with happiness and perfectly good computers running virtual in use before the upgrade.

  After the new kernel and reboot, I had to rebuild vmmod.  I had to get a fix of any - any later that I used with my previous kernel (116 does not solve the problem of compiling) so I used all-any117d.  Update like a champion.

  Try to turn on a VM and Ihanta!, the above error.

  Nothing else was changed.

  I tried the upgrade to VMware Server 1.08.  Used all-new any117d - update OK.

  Error again.

  I have re-run the compilation, this time to say 'yes' to what the installation script to "adjust the permissions of all virtual machines in xxxlist" or whatnot.

  Error again.

  1. status of /etc/init.d/VMware

  Networking networking on/dev/vmnet0 is running

  Invited only on/dev/vmnet1 network is running

  Network invited only on/dev/vmnet8 is running

  NAT networking on/dev/vmnet8 is running

  Responsible vmmon module

  Loaded module Vmnet

  FWIW, I compile as long as root, but have always run VMware server from my UID nonroot.

  What now?

  I'm in the same boat.  Fedora 8 2.6.26.8 - 57.fc8 #1 SMP

  I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling v1.0.6 thru 1.0.8 with all 116 updates and 117d.   117D compiles with every version of server but when I try to turn on a virtual computer I get this error.

  Cannot change the power state of virtual machine: the process has exited with an error:

  vmxvmdb: name of the Index generated by the configuration file

  POST (no connection): Version mismatch with vmmon module: expected 138.0, obtained 168.0.

  You have a bad version of the module kernel "vmmon.

  Try reinstalling VMware Server.

  POST (no connection): failed to initialize the surveillance apparatus.

  Failed to initialize the virtual machine.

  End of the error message.

  I found several posts other people have this problem but

  they are months with no recent activity and nothing that solved the problem.  I found appeared

  to get a fix, one updated the all an update that corrects the problem for

  2.6.26 performing several nuclei, but the link for the update on TI-psycho appears to be dead.  Here is the link to the discussion

  Of course, I would like to know how to solve this problem as well.

• Volume down 5% after you connect the removable device

  Hello
  A few months ago, I noticed something very strange: whenever I connect a removable device as USB flash or external HARD disk drive or even my smartphone, the volume goes down to 5%, but only to the browser & media player. Can I change the sound volume by using the volume mixer but it's annoying to do whenever I have something to connect to my PC.
  I reinstalled the drivers for my sound card & for each device, I usually connect & also I reinstalled the browser (Opera browser) & Winamp without success.
  Also, I had some problems in the past which could be linked to it. After you install SP1, whenever I am connected to windows I was warned that the Audio Service does not work although it was running. (solved this one).
  Another problem was related to the removable USB devices. Apparently, Windows could not assign letters to all my removable devices, even if I manually assigned a letter to a device of some. I does not solve it, but I use USB remove to assign letters and it seams to work fine so far. ( Windows 7 assigns letters of readers to external hard drives & Windows 7 assigns letters of readers to external hard drives )
  Any ideas?

  Nevermind, I think I got it.

  Control Panel-> sounds-> communication tab-> when Windows detects communications activity-> reduce the volume of other sounds of 80% has been verified

  I went to do nothing and so far it sews and work.

  Do not know exactly why hard drives have been detected as of communication devices, but my guess is that this has something to do with the Winamp/WMP library, because I'm always asked by these 2 apps to add the new device to the library, even if there is no file audio/video/photo on it.

• Windows cannot access the specified device path or file. may not permissions to access you the item.

  Hey guys,.

  I am running Vista on my laptop Toshiba P200D. Recently I was making an error whenever I try to open the files that I downloaded from the internet. The message I get is "windows cannot access the specified device path or file. you don't have the appropriate permissions to access the item "."

  I tried,

  • Safe mode (not to fix)
  • (No luck) system restore
  • check security options - I have full access to the file.

  I am running Vista 32 bit. I have avast antivirus running, but is not working and im unable to uninstall it.

  Any help will be accepted with gratitude,

  Thanks in advance,

  Chris.

  PS I'm the system administrator.

  I do not fashion without failure, I advised a SafeMode with networking for network access using a wired connection to download and install Anti-Malware programs.

  If this does not work:

  Download/save the removal of Avast on a friend's computer tool > transfer it using a Flash Player > uninstall the corrupt Avast.

  Which can be the source of the problem.

  As you can not turn it off:

  If under warranty, contact the manufacturer of your laptop.

  If this is not the case, take it to a reputable repair shop, computer room.

• Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You can not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.

  Hello

  I recently changed to use AVG free Antivirus Vista 2010 edition and since then (next day) seems to be locked out almost everything on the computer other then IE.  Open any kind of .exe translates into "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You don't have the appropriate permissions to access the item. "I can access the Control Panel, but when I try to run something (a user restore Sys account) nothing happens or I get the same error.  I can not even access/cmd?

  Operating system is vista 64 bit home premium
  Computer has 1 which is defined as administrator SP1
  Tried to do a restore of the system in normal mode and safe, the two will not start.

  I have a feeling I know what the problem is, that when you look at the properties > Security "Progam files" in the 5 groupnames user administrator has not enabled in the lower area of permissions?  Guess a virus has locked all accounts to use the machine key files? (When editing and allowing the admin to have full control etc. in written authorization, I get an "access denied" Message.)  Be honest this really problems out of my PC knowledge, I would usually just reformat if I hit I can't solve a problem, but this time reformating is not the best option.

  Thanks in advance for any help, I would really appreciate it, it left me speechless!

  PS. read through the similar questions and have used the "fix windows' programs, with nothing working or me being not able to access something used.

  Hi Dany88,

  First of all, I would say that you uninstall security antivirus vista 2010 of computer software, since there are several questions on the computer after installing. This software may have created conflicts between other programs on the computer.

  As you face problems to access items from 'Control panel', I would say you visit the security software vendor's Web site and search a tool of suppression using which you can uninstall the software.

  Important: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  If questions are set after uninstalling security software, I suggest that you change the security antivirus vista to some else software or contact the vendor of the software for more information.

  I would also say that you are investigating the computer by using the methods mentioned in the link below.

• Can't install downloaded software, receive the message error "Windows cannot access the specified device, file, or the path"

  Cannot install any software downloaded - says "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file.  You can not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.  This happened after I went on a bad site and downloaded something accidentally and I was not able to do anything after that.  I have avast and avast kept popping up saying I've made to a site with malware and that it would interrupt - well these pop - ups have ceased and I was scanning my computer using windows defender (which did not find anything) - but I still have problems on my computer. Should what steps I take?

  Hello

  also run the sfc/scannow command.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

  Use the (SFC.exe) System File Checker tool to determine which file is causing the problem and then replace the file. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click principally madeprograms,Accessories, right-clickguest, and then clickrun as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or clickallow.

  Cannot eject the USB device. I don't see the icon to safely remove in the task bar.

  The icon is hidden behind the small arrow in the lower right of your screen.  Click on that, and you will see a number of icons, which one will remove safe material one.  Be aware that unless you have a removable USB device connected, the icon will not be there.

  Good luck.

• Burn the disk to a virtual machine?

  It seems that I cannot burn a disc of my virtual machine. I searched, and apparently you have to add the drive as a SCSI device. So I edited file (this file may be less organized!) machine's .vmx and changed all instances of ide0: 1 at scsi0: 1, but it seems to merge changed to IDE.

  So, how to configure a virtual machine to allow under 3.1 disc burning?

  Hello

  .. .and changed all instances of ide0: 1 to scsi0:1, but it seems to merge changed to IDE.

  Normally merge changes only return if you do not leave merge until you have changed the .vmx file.

  This meant that the file has been opened by Fusion during the time that you edited.

  Just as a note.

  Every time you handedit a .vmx file, make a backup before you change it, then you can go back if someone went wrong

  Hope this helps.
