  Unfortunately, you must have prepared a recovery disk in advance or use the one provided with your computer.

  For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

  It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

  Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

• Conversion to a virtual machine using VMware Player?

  We have an environment consisting of ESX:

  • vCenter 4.0.0 (build 162856)

  • Runing host ESX 3.5.0 (build 163429)

  I have very limited exposure to VMware Player and who has been with the first versions.

  We received a request to make an existing virtual machine in Windows 2008 for use with VMware Player.

  1. Is this feasible?

  2. I had user Converter?

  3. I'm confused about the end result and how to deal with operating system licenses and IP information as they proliferate this image in VMplayer?

  Looking for some tips and information to help me get started.

  I usually copy the complete directory of the virtual machine on ESX to a host with vmplayer and it - just run without any conversion. Just doubleclick vmx-file...

  This works even when the virtual machine has snapshots, although I do not recommend.

  If I have problems they can usually be cured by a simple modification vmx and vmdk so I amy forget a step here.

  Anyway - just try and come back with error messages.

• How can I download ICQ in vmware player?

  Hello

  I wonder if anyone can offer me some advice please...

  I would like to know how to download ICQ in VMware Player?, he asks what application I want to use to install ICQ, but I am relatively new to all this and I'm not sure that want to application in order to use...

  VMware Player is an Application that runs on a host computer, and you install an OS in VMware Player.  Then, we can install Applications in the guest operating system and it is basically the same way as if the operating system will run natively on physical so act accordingly.  In other words, download the operating system appropriate ICQ client of instant messaging for the guest operating system and follow the installation instructions on the site Web of ICQ.

• Configuration connection between two virtual machines on VMware Player

  Hello

  I have a host machine running Windows 7, which is connected to my company's intranet. On this machine, I have two OS guests on VMware Player:

  VM1 - Running Windows Server 2003, in my company intranet

  VM2 - Running CentOS 5, not registered in my company intranet.

  The second of the two is a pre-packaged VM, fully operational to run a complex database system that has been downloaded from the software provider.

  I need to set up the environment such as the VM1, an application can connect to the database running on computer 2.

  For the moment I can do the following with success-

  * Ping the host to VM1 and vice versa

  * Ping the host to VM2 and vice versa

  * Ping to VM1 VM2

  However, I don't do a ping of VM1 VM2.

  Can someone please explain why this is the case? In addition, please suggest me on the best way to get this working environment. I prefer to do the minimum to juggle the VMS as they run important applications. In addition, it is not possible to save VM2 on my intranet, if that would solve the problem.

  Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to read and answer.

  EDIT: Just noticed that I am able to access restricted intranet websites through VM2.

  Ahhhh, presto! Easy solution!

  All you need to do is change the 2 virtual computer hardware settings and change the network card.

  RightClick the VM, in settings, then replace the network card of NAT in bridge

  See this screenshot for a Visual:

  See you soon,.

• Cano I run several virtual machines with VMware player?

  I can't find a way to launch several machines virtual oin my Windows 7 PC with VMware player. Please advice if this is possible. If this is not the case, what vm product will do the trick?

  You can also double-click any VMs .vmx files you want to start.  What I've done is set up the shortcuts in my quick launch for my VMs frequently used toolbar.  Each shortcut target the respective virtual machine .vmx file, is to start.

• automatic start of the virtual machine on vmware player 2.5.1?

  Can VMWare Player 2.5.1 the virtual machine autostart when it starts? I have Windows running VMWare Player when it starts, but just, this brings me to the main page of player where you can open file, recent opening, etc. You still have to physically click to open the virtual machine. So is there a way that I could automate it to just run itself when it opened (change of maybe a file somewhere)? If this version/product does not support this, can you recommend one that does?

  Player doesn't have the ability to auto-start the virtual machines.  The fact of VMware Server.  Server start virtual machines when Windows starts, not when you start the server GUI, which is not exactly what you are referring, but is usually what most people want when they want machines virtual autostart.

  'office' versions of Windows are listed as taken hosts supported OS.  Many threads on these forums about the small nagging issues with networking and such when to use Server on unsupported hosts, especially hosts Vista and Win7.  You don't specify what version of Windows you are using as the host.  If it is a server version, VMware Server is an option for you.

  But a simple solution is to simply make shortcuts to the. Files in the folder of your VMX virtual machine.

• Error playing the virtual machine in VMware Player

  Hi all

  I am getting error below while reading VM(UI VM.ova) UI in VMware Player. Everyone has also same error. Help, please.

  Thanks in advance,

  RizQad

  
  

  

  It is in fact no error, but the result of not being able to get the automatic (DHCP) IP settings. Please check which virtual bridged network (Host-Only, NAT) is configured for the virtual computer and check if the related DHCP service is running. Also make sure that NIC of the virtual computer is configured with "Connect to light". If no DHCP server is available, follow the instructions in the red part of the screen.

• How can ping virtual machine on VMware Server external network?

  In the Vmware infrastructure products you can can be crazy from the outside through their individual networks connections, which is a good thing... lol

  How this is possible on VMware Server when guests use the VMnet8 network that uses NAT?

  In many scenarios, the use of bypass is prohibited due to the policy defined at the level of the external switch, but it is still necessary for the basic functionality of ping. Otherwise, how they would be able to know if a virtual machine is actually up to who answered the questionnaire on the network without entering actual connections to such hosts?

  You're right - that's how NAT works (whether via a service such as the VMware NAT service software or a hardware router/firewall NAT).  All computers behind the NAT server are hidden from the outside world (unless you map specific ports to the specific IP address of a computer)... they are so NOT to pings from the outside.

• How to convert Imesh mp3 videos so I can sync it to my mp3 player?

  I downloaded about 400 songs from Imesh, I am not a monthly member, but am a Subscriber.

  Some of the songs are in video format, and I can't sync them with my mp3 as the MP3 player, regular.

  How is it possible to convert these vedios to WMA - MP3 format?

  Hello

  ·         What operating system is installed on the computer?

  Songs from Windows Media Audio (WMA) that are downloaded from the iMesh can be protected by DRM (Digital Rights Management), which prevents you from converting the file to an MP3 file that can be played on any computer or portable media player. In order to convert WMA files to MP3 you can burn to a CD in Windows Media Player and then tear up the new CD in Windows Media Player in the form of MP3 files.

  See the following links for on how burning the CD using Windows Media player.

  You can also use any software third music converter to convert WMA to MP3 format. You can use your favorite search engine and the search for music converter software.

  Warning: Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

• Can I deploy the same virtual machine to VMWare Player running of several PCs without network problems

  Hi all

  I am a newbie so please forgive if this is a stupid question...

  Can I deploy the same virtual machine (XP Pro), with the same machine name and the same GUID for several machines on a network without going through issues such as errors of names duplicate etc. Or will I sysprep prior to deployment.  If so, is there an easier way to do it?

  Not sure if this is important, but I need to use Bridged networking due to problems with our personal firewall.

  You will need to deal with the dupe GUID. Sysprep is a method.
