Help reqd with XPMode upgrade

Hello

I use Windows 7 Ultimate, 64-bit with VMWare 4.0.4 build-744019 some time ago, I've installed XPMode from Microsoft and converted the resulting virtual machine using VMWare VCenter Converter so I could run using the player that worked fine, but now I'm going to reinstall my Windows OS and intend to upgrade to version 5 Player please advise on the necessary steps, in particular

What I have to install VMWare VCenter Converter version 5 and convert my existing machines to make them compatible with version 5 of the Player or can I continue to use the version 4 machines

I have to install the converter as a Client Server, as was the case with version 4

Ther are other things I need to know regarding the conversion of my old machines to the new format

Is it then just a case of installation and running Player Version 5 and pick up the new machines

What changes to these are, what if all I want to do is update my existing installation rather than make a new Windows Installer

Thank you very much

Mike

Good vmware.log shows "DISKLIB-LINK: open"C:\Program Files\Windows XP Mode\Windows XP Mode base.vhd"" as well as "DRIVE: OPEN ide0:0. "F:\XPMode Images\WinXP_Plus_Delphi7Pro\Windows XP Mode.vmdk" "and this means that the virtual hard disk"F:\XPMode Images\WinXP_Plus_Delphi7Pro\Windows XP Mode.vmdk"is a linked clone and points to"C:\Program Files\Windows XP Mode\Windows XP Mode base.vhd"and this should be presented as" parentFileNameHint = "C:\Program Files\Windows XP Mode\Windows XP Mode base.vhd" ' in the 'F:\XPMode Images\WinXP_Plus_Delphi7Pro\Windows XP Mode.vmdk"disc DescriptorFile."  If you must back up the folders 'C:\Program Files\Windows XP Mode' and 'F:\XPMode Images\WinXP_Plus_Delphi7Pro' and restore them after the reconstruction in order to have a working VM without installing other then the new version of VMware Player and then upgrade VMware Tools when you run virtual machine under the new version.

  • help reqd with the cmdlet "get-customattribute.

    Hey all

    Can someone help me with the cmdlet above pls?

    What I'm trying to do, it is all simply do a search in our VC against some "custom attributes" and confirm the virtual machines associated with them.

    (i.e. custom attribute 'RED' has a servers VM called "SERVER1, SERVER2, etc.")

    I tried to find objects associated with this and all I get is the following objects:

    ServerId
    Server
    That is to say;
    Name
    TargetType
    UID
    Customer

    So, how can I use these to get something that again relates a servernames VM?

    As usual - thank you very much in advance for your help

    Of course, try it like that

    Get - VM | Get-Annotation - CustomAttribute "red" | Where {$_.} Value}

  • help reqd with an advanced function of book of LucD

    Hey all

    Recently bought Luc relaxing book "Automating vSphere Administration" to help me understand how to create advanced (among others). I tried one of his scripts on pg 437 (Get-VMGuestDiskUsage) - as shown below. Problem is I have a few problems and I don't know what seems to be the problem. It could possibly be something very basic (but having worked on it for a week) I'm at the end of my home as to what it could be? Any help would be great appreciated ly

    Problem 1) every time I try and entry of the virtual machines via the pipeline, be they of a txt file or a simple 'get - vm"command I get

    Get-VMGuestDiskUsage cmdlet in the command pipeline position 1
    Provide values for the following parameters:
    (Type! help.)
    VM
    :

    AND then


    Cannot process the transformation of argument on the parameter "vm". Could not convert the "" value of type 'System.String' to type 'VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.Impl.V1.Inventory.VirtualMachineImpl '.

    I understand that it is because the input objects are of type "System.string" and what I need is a type of "VMware.VimAutomation.ViCore.Impl.V1.Inventory.VirtualMachineImpl". But his declared top so I do not understand?

    Problem 2)

    Where it is said $objDisk | Add-Member - MemberType Noteproperty-Name 'Use %' - value ('{0:p2}' f (($disk.capacity-$disk.))) FreeSpace) / $disk. Capacity))

    There seems to be a problem with the DIVISION operator (this does not work when processed against the ($disk.capacity - $disk.freespace) value) I tried to get into things like 1 MB ', but every time I have replace their return with $disk.capacity I do not get the output? !!! ??

    I know that it can be easy for the 'gurus' out there, but I realized how convenient these advanced features are, and as soon as I can get my head as to why this is happening, I hope I'll be able to improve what I learned a lot faster. I simply can't work and so desperately need your help. Why did I NOT?

    The script is below and I copied exactly from the book (the only thing I added was a call at the bottom of the function of an entry by calling the real function (for example, Get-VMGuestDiskUsage)

    Once again thanks a lot in advance for any help

  • Need help with problems upgrade memory on Pavilion DM4

    I have a Pavilion DM4 1201us with original DDR3 2x2gb memory cards.

    I bought a pair of Corsair DDR3 1333 Mhz 4 GB memory cards.

    I have the latest BIOS (F.27) and I'm running the OEM Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - Bit. SP1.

    The BIOS recognizes the 8 Gb and when I run the BIOS memory test it runs without error.

    When I try to boot Win7, it gets somewhere before the logon screen and makes a BSOD with a message about a new memory being installed.

    I went back the Corsair Memory cards, but you need to know if there is a problem with any upgrade up to 8 GB of memory with my particular setup. HP offers an upgrade to 8 GB with the same spec boards. (I'm beyond the warranty period!)

    Any thoughtts?

    Interesting!

    I can tell you that the model only supports 8 GB memory: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c02704310

    Have you tried more than one kit of 8 GB?

    The reason why I ask is with memory DDR sometimes reticular sticks will pass all the tests if the two sticks are installed then a stick could be bad without you knowledge.

    Also you tried a bar of 4 GB and a 2 GB stick to see how it worked?

  • Problem with Windows7 upgrade - Satellite A500

    I bought a portable Satellite A500 with Vista 32 bit Home Premium.
    It came with an upgrade to Windows 7, which I completed the process of installation/uninstallation of upgrade Vista Home Premium 32 bit for Windows 7 32 bit on the Toshiba site, before the beginning of the DVD of windows 7 installation process.

    After restarting my computer in step 6, I have a message "new hardware found - base system device" I tried to search c: and I tried the Windows 7 DVD for the specific file searching and can't locate it.

    The installation/uninstallation deleted the drivers to connect to the internet.

    Can't seem to start installing Windows 7 from the DVD.

    Help, please.

    Hello

    Windows 7 ask the driver!
    It s not installed on the C or the DVD of Win 7.

    I assume that you have improved the Vista to Win 7 and installed not cleaning.
    I recommend a clean installation, because Windows 7 would reinstall and will not use the applications that were pre-installed on Vista.
    In many cases these apps are not entirely compatible with Win 7.

    After the clean install of Windows 7, you could install Windows 7 drivers you will find on the pages of Toshiba.

    But Win 7 drivers are not published on Toshiba page European right now
    If you could use a Toshiba page us to get drivers or should check the European page later

  • HP DV7-3063cl laptop PC: what is the maximum temperature for safe operation of the DV7 3063 cl with the upgrade of the 640 M CPU?

    I have recently restored a HP DV7 3063 cl laptop that died a hot mother (MB). I replaced the MB with a new Board of Directors of HP when the price has been reduced to $100, updated the CPU with an announced as new AMD 640 M and applied Arctic Silver on CPU and graphics chips. I put in 4 G memory cool, got the computer to work and installed Windows 10.

    The computer seems to run very hot and stopped twice from overheating during its first period of 2 weeks when it there was not a lot of calculating, fan was run at top speed at all times, and the laptop was high to allow good airflow below.

    According to the program of the Open Hardware Monitor, the CPU had reached 97-99 C a few times. I bought support cooling a player and that seems to help a lot, dropping the temperature to 20 ° C.

    What is the maximum temperature for safe operation of the DV7 with the upgrade of the 640 M CPU?

    Anything more than 90 c is too hot. You can specify the processor and the motherboard you have installed?

    Also if this from the Manual:

    Thermal paste is used on 1 CPU and heat sink section 2 that the services it. Thermal pads are used on the chip Northbridge 3 and 4, the graphical subsystem chip 5 contact Northbridge and graphics/heatsink contact 6. Thermal material replacement is included with all kits of spare parts of processor, heatsink and system board.

    So unless you have changed the cooling system to heat composed on the chip graphic you should have used a thermal buffer. Without the pad, it may leave just a small hallway and destroy the cooling properties. You can use a shim in copper or other piece of something metal to fill the void, but if you just put the heat sink down on the video chip you won't get optimal even with thermal cooling paste.

  • HP pavilion dv6-2150us: problems with the upgrade of processor for an i7-720qm on a hp pavilion dv6-2150us

    Hi all

    My friend recently bought an i7-720qm processor used to upgrade hp pavilion dv6 2 1 5 0 US and I

    summer giving a helping hand by making the upgrade.

    Since the 10 Windows running Google Chrome used up to 70% of the processing of an i3 - 330 m power

    processor, it seemed to be good upgrade to improve the performance of the laptop.

    We checked that the new i7 processor is compatible with the laptop (it is listed as supported by the)

    ( interview guide , page 108), and the seller assured us he tested the CPU on some different

    HP pavilion and it worked fine.

    But when I replaced the processor with the i7 processor i3 and tried to boot up the laptop, only the LED lights

    on the front and the setting of the power and volume buttons would light up periodically. The screen was black

    All the time.

    Thinking I might have made a mistake during the reassembly of the laptop I put the original i3 processor back in

    and it starts fine.

    I updated the BIOS of the F.1C version I found on the internet and once replaced the i3 with the i7 with the

    same results - display off, flashes periodically LEDs. The BIOS updated smoothly, and the correct version is displayed in the main menu of the BIOS.

    I am confused on what could be the problem with the upgrade, everything should work. Is there a BIOS update I have

    missed, or the problem elsewhere?

    Disassembly and reassembly are made with care, and we took care to avoid static electricity. All the rest

    on the laptop works well - I am writing this post on the laptop in question with the original i3 processor in place.

    Any help, advice or general guidelines as to what should be done would be really appreciated.

    Thank you for your attention.

  • Help please with a printer.

    I use an HP laserjet M1212nf MFP printer. I have recently upgraded to Windows 8 to 8.1. Now, the printer keeps going through a phaze "during initialization... "and will not respond. I have re-defined, transformed extinguished/turned on and I'm perplexed as to what to do next. After that he goes through a couple of cycles, it will sit in the "Ready" mode for a few minutes and then restart the "Intializing. If I'm lucky, I can get it to print only after after the second or third print command was sent.

    Hi obscured.

    I see by your post, after the update to Windows 8.1 the printer keeps initializing and then sometimes appear after giving the command to print a couple of times. I can help you with this problem.

    I'd do a power reset to see if that will solve the problem.

    When the printer is still lit, disconnect the power cable from the back of the printer.

    Then, disconnect the power cable from the wall outlet.

    Wait 10 seconds and reconnect the power cable to the wall outlet first, then the back of the printer and turn on again.

    Make sure that the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (do not use a hub or a surge protector)

    Just to rule out a hardware problem, try and print a self-test on the printer hardware to see if it is a hardware or software problem. Unplug all cables from the printer except the power cord.

    Restart the printer. Printing of Pages of information. Go to the section for M1210 / M1218nfs series.

    Then, you can reconnect the cables again.

    I would like to know if the test of the material printed.

    Since the upgrade you uninstall and reinstall the printer software?

    If you do not, then I would like to see if this will solve the problem.

    Uninstalling the printer software.

    HP LaserJet Pro M1212nf MFP drivers.

    If you're still having problems, then go through the steps described in this document.

    Print jobs are stuck in the print queue.

    How is the printer connected? (USB/Ethernet)

    I would like to know how it goes for you!

    Good day!
