High resolution monitor and VMware Workstation, causing the system to hang

I usually like VMware / WS... I used VMware / WS for many years with problems little / not serious - until recently.

I'm under WS 6.5.1 on MS/Windows/XP/Pro/SP2 (host), and 2 guests of virtual machines: RHEL4 and MS/Windows/XP/PRO.

Recently I bought a SAMSUNG T260 (1920 x 1200) high-resolution screen - I really like (I also used SAMSUNG monitors for many years with little / no serious problems).

Currently, I am frequently (several times a day) see the two VMware / WS (all guests) and my XP any host COMPLETELY FREEZES up.  The only way out of this is perhaps a shutoff of the system and then restart.

Needless to say it is (IMHO) a OFF THE CHARTS SERIOUS PROBLEM... with all fingers pointing to VMware / WS (TBD).

Previously, I was running on a HP low resolution screen 1280 x 1024.  I can run for days/months/still without seeing the problem above.

Also, I believe many/most/all lower resolution monitors is likely no other problems (be it).

This is a 'system to freeze the scenario:

1 pass to MS/Win/XP vm host RHEL (mode full-screen)

2. press quickly on full screen non-plein screen

3. If I do the above too fast my entire army system freezes up.

Any body else see something like that?  Any ideas/help/suggestions will be appreciated.

PS/BTW - I've seen this problem originally under 6.0.3

Are you running the latest drivers for your videocard host?  Video drivers are complex enough that they almost always end up containing pretty serious bugs and VMware video cards use is broad enough for us fires frequently these questions.  If upgrading the drivers didn't help not can you let us know:

-What graphics card and cpu type is your host machine?

-Don't you update of tools in two virtual machines?

-What is your workload, particularly in the XP VM?

-3D acceleration enabled in the XP VM is?

  • VMWare Converter cause the system to hang to cold start 96% and no converter available to the licensee of vSphere 4.1

    Hello

    I'm trying to convert a Windows 2008 Server; everything seems to go along very well until we reach 96% and then it causes either the server BSOD or just hang.  I have read and found mention of the cold start conversion which is apparently available to subscribers from business 3.x.

    Does anyone have a good suggestion as to what I might try next?

    I have attached the logs, but I don't know where to look (aside from the bottom of the last log).

    If you have a license for vCenter Server 4.1, you should be able to download the latest converter BootCD. You will find when you go to the vSphere download section and click on the 'View history' link for the vcenter Server. From there, select modules and VMware vCenter Server 4.0 Update 3

  • Is it possible to transfer everything to a virtual hard disk that is smaller on a virtual hard disk that is larger in VMWare Workstation, using the same virtual machine?

    Hello

    I was wondering if it is possible to transfer everything to a virtual hard disk that is smaller on a virtual hard disk that is larger in VMWare Workstation, using the same virtual machine? In the affirmative, please could someone advise me on how to do it. Also utility management and disk transfer can be used in virtual machines to do this?

    Thank you very much

    Tim Auluck

    I'm not sure what exactly you are asking. Can you please clarify!

    Basically you can resize a virtual drive or add a second virtual disk to a virtual machine and transfer/copy files. You can also resize the virtual disk using VMware Converter for example.

  • How to monitor the CPU, memory and i/o on the system

    Hello..

    Some body help me?...

    1. how to manage the monitoring of the performance of the system and the database during execution of ODI?
    2. how to monitor the CPU, memory and i/o on the system?

    TQ
    balleur

    In an attempt to partially answer your questions:

    1. how to manage the monitoring of the performance of the system and the database during execution of ODI?

    Monitor the performance of the application from a commercial point of view. As transactions per minute, or response time or time elapsed for the key events of the company. Monitor the activity of the material such that the CPU usage is not necessarily linked to the performance of your application. Performance should be measured from top to bottom - business first, then the lower levels until you get finally to computer equipment. Only if you get a problem to the next level - response time is too large, for example - you can go through the lower levels to identify the cause and fix it.

    2. how to monitor the CPU, memory and i/o on the system?

    I personally use "sar" on UNIX-BASED or Linux, or rather "CFDCs" which is the system activity data collector. SADC will measure and collect data on activities on CPU, memory, disks, etc. and save them to a file in binary format. You can then extract these measures later for analysis using SAR (sar f sadc_file_name). The benefits of SADC are that it is light (these operating systems measure such things anyway, just CFDC records far), it records everything at once (with the exception of the network), it records the time stamp too for each measure, and you can analyze it later when you want to.

    There are commercial products out there too who do similar work, with additional features, such as the integration of Oracle and the relationship between several systems. TeamQuest is an example, but there are others also. (I do not work for TeamQuest, but I used their product in the past).

    Some common problems are the exception code 0 x 80000003.  This means a hard

    In this case, make sure a debugger must be connected and the

  • Certificate expired on a server that has only the client VMware and VMware workstation

    Our scanners detected security certificate expired vmware on a server. The only products currently running on this server are VMware workstation and the vSphere client. I looked in all the installed certificates and their lack of vmware. When I open a web browser and go to the IP address of servers using port 443 I get a message of invalid certificate and look a certificate it shows expired recently, and was published by VMware. Where can I find this certificate and what is used to indicated the products installed on this system?

    The certificate was for workstation server configurations (connection sharing VMs/Remote). Just disabled the sharing feature because it is not used.

    Find the certificate in the program data-file VMware. Could not find information on renewal, only how to replace it.

  • Ghost 7.0 and VMware Workstation 6.5.2

    I've used Norton Ghost 7.0 to the image of a Windows 98 machine. I'm trying to use this image to create a virtual machine with VMware Workstation 6.5.2. The virtual machine starts by using the CD de Boot Ghost I have, but when I get this CD out and put the disks in the disk, the image "turns", but not to very high ROTATION speed that you normally hear. When I navigate the discs, the menu always displays the boot CD, and he does not see the disk image.

    What I am doing wrong?

    you need something

    eject the cd ghost and didn't inject the CD with the image again - pretend that everything is fine. Ghost complain of course

    now inject different CD and say ok

    as it usually works

  • Visual Studio 2012 and VMWare workstation plugin does not work

    Today we moved to Visual Studio 2010 Visual Studio 2012 in our project.

    After installing VS2012, I installed VMWare workstation 9. To my surprise, it did not appear any menu in Visual Studio VMware. In the previous version, the menu item will automatically appear by the installation of VMWare. We use the VMWare plugin to debug Visual Studio applications on the virtual machine remotely.

    Does VMWare workstation 9.0 support Visual studio plugin for VS2012?

    My version of VMWare is 9.0.0 build-812388 and my version of Visual Studio is Visual Studio Premium 2012, 11.0.50727.1 RTMREL.

    The VS plugin that comes with 9 Workstation does not load in VS 2012 due to some changes in the interface COM vs.  The next update to 9 Workstation will correct this problem.

  • Update of VMware ACE and VMware Workstation

    I bought VMware ACE there a few times and got VMware Workstation 6.5.0.

    I always use VMware Workstation 6.5.0 to protected generateACE packets.

    Can I update WMware Workstation version update (say 6.5.3) without losing the ACE capabilities?

    Can I update ACE as well?

    Am I entitled to upgade to WMware Workstation 7 without having to buy it again?

    Concerning

    Marius

    You can update 6.5.3. without any problem.

    But you cannot use vmware workstation7 since the license that you purchased (6.5) does not work with the 7 workstation.

    Also, you cannot use the old license for the new version of the vmware ace management server.
