How to suspend, restart, shut down as default instead of Force *.

I know it's strange, but I still see "Force Suspend, restart of strength and force Shut Down" when I click on the menu 'Virtual Machine' WITHOUT hold down the Option key.  This also affects the behavior when I set the preference 'when you close the virtual machine"to"Turn off the virtual machine", as he always does force stops instead of a graceful.  Note I can hold the Option key to Force * to go and make the soft stop, but that's all just annoying.

So the question is, how can I make sure the normal shutdown of suspend, restart, are the default actions?

My system is:

Mac Pro 2 x 2.66 GHz Dual - Core Intel Xeon

Mac OS X 10.5.8

VMware Fusion 3.0.1 (215242)

Windows XP SP3 VM (2 CPUs, 2048 MB RAM, 3D active)

Thank you!

The default power options are controlled by the .vmx powerType.* entries, and I think that they are also affected by the question of whether the tools are installed. You want the following lines:

powerType.powerOff = "soft"
powerType.powerOn = "soft"
powerType.suspend = "soft"
powerType.reset = "soft"

(as opposed to the 'hard'). These should have been set this way automatically, but if you have imported the virtual machine from another source, they can be different.

Note that if the client does not know how to properly manage power plants, that does not help.

  • How can I add "Shut down" as an option for the action of the Power button if it is not available

    How can I add "Shut down" as an option for the action of the Power button if it is not available.

    Hello

    Welcome to the Microsoft Community and thanks for posting the question. Looks like you want to add shut down as an option for the power button.

    Visit this link and try the steps mentioned:

    There are two ways to change what happens when you press the power button on your computer. You can change what happens when you press the power button on your computer case (or the edge of your laptop) and you can change what happens when you press the close button in the start menu.

  • Cannot restart / shut down comments

    I installed Windows Server 2003 on Fusion (Version 2.0.1 (128865)).

    Then I tried to install all the updates, but system (Win2k3) was slain.

    I am trying to restart or shut down but I can't not (!)

    Of course regular operation "Shut down" Windows Server does not work but it's normal behavior.

    It is whenever I do "Shutdown invited" or 'Restart Guest' in the menu 'Virtual Machine' the virtual machine screen only flashes and that's all that is really weird for me. I can not "hard reset" of my comment system! I tried same 'force quite' on the merger, but after the assassination of Fusion in this way it starts my suspended guest next time I try to run it.

    Note: It's like pulling the plug of the wall on a physical computer. Whatever this is not saved will be lost and there is always the possibility of corrupting the file system where preforming a hard stop! (Even if you have no choice but to do.)

    VMware Fusion menu bar > VM > press the option key and select Power Off

    By pressing the keys alt/option "Shutdown called" changes to "Power Off".

    Note: It also changes orders of "Suspend comments" and "Restart Guest' too.

    Or... On the library Virtual Machine ctrl - click on the target of the Virtual Machine and select Show in Finder and delete the .vmss file, the ctrl + click the target package of Virtual Machine, and then after the merger closed. Note: All that was not justified for the suspended state will be lost by deleting the .vmss file. Note: But you will have no other choice is the Virtual Machine will not suspend/resume/stop/start correctly.

    Hello

    Check with the HP Support and their documentation online.

    There are a lot of opinions, but I prefer the way that you do now. Start and stop

    the computer frequently causes the device to heat and cool a lot which is more stress

    on the material while leaving work. If you go for 2 + hours power on the monitor
    off anyway so you should have white for any period of inactivity. Stop when
    It will be on all night is also a good initiative.

  • Cannot restart, shut down, or logout

    When I turned on my computer this morning, I saw an update available which was simply to correct a problem of security. There is nothing wrong with the computer, but I had not yet started any work so it seemed timely to update. The notification that the computer should restart automatically came, and I clicked on restart to put the move process. It simply seemed to dismiss the notification. I tried again to make sure I hit the restart button, nothing more. I googled: Mac will not perform the security update. Most of the results were for older versions of Mac OS. I thought that it might help. The menu apple could not preform one. Stop, same result as before and the same thing has happened to a disconnection. I can sleep the computer, but a disconnection is impossible. I think a problem in Adobe creative suite (the most recently installed program) keeps closing down. It does not reset the SMC. Using the activity monitor to stop the process of connection window manually also fails to solve the problem. I want to assure you that I can install future updates, and it would be nice if I could install it. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

  • Satellite A300-1EC cannot load the OS and restart just /shuts down

    Can you help me with my problem of A300 PSAG0Elaptop.

    This is the case:
    before that I can still use my laptop normally without plugging the power cord but when plug the source ca the unit restarts all of a sudden. I charge the battery only when the unit is off. And now the worst case gets when I installed the recovery disk hoping would solve the problem. I can no longer load the operating system; It's just loading then it does not load and suddenly shuts down and sometimes simply frozen. I have not tried the safe mode, mode ahci, system recovery, system repair, and stil no chance.
    I brought this already at the center of ASP service and they demanded almost 1 unit brand new laptop for repair of my laptop is not advisable to send them to repair.
    I doubt that my system bios is not compatible with my vista Home premium OS, or perhaps my wife update of the bios that is not compatible in windows update. My current bios I checked is 1.4

    Given that I have no option instead of junking my laptop, I want to update or back to the original settings of the bios that can help to repair my device.
    Can you help me on how to update or revert to the original my system bios? As I can't access the windows can you teach me step by step using the usb port of my camera on system bios update? Or do you have any suggestions?

    Need help bad
    Here are the specs of my unit

    Windows vista Home premium core 2 duo T5750

    Hey Buddy,

    First of all, the BIOS can only be updated Windows System. There is no other version that you can download on the site Web of Toshiba.

    But I doubt that this problem is caused by the BIOS. It s I knew not that it is possible to change certain values which make impossible Windows installation. With other words BIOS is secure and with all the settings, it should be possible to install Windows.
    An alternative you can press F9 in BIOS to load the default settings. That would be the best option.

    But according to your assignment, if Windows installation of recovery disc doesn t work and you are not able to charge the battery while the laptop is turned on it seems to be a hardware malfunction because seriously it has nothing to do with the software.

    So either come you into contact with the ASP to get the repaired device or you can repair yourself with original spare parts with parts ASP or second-hand on eBay or similar platforms.
    Of course, you can buy a new laptop: in case the motherboard would be defective because the motherboard is very expensive spare part, it would be the best choice in my opinion.

  • How to solve the problems of windows 10 shut down (power, lighting the keyboard is always on)?

    Nice day

    How to solve the problems of windows 10 shut down (power, lighting the keyboard is always on)?

    with regard to my question above. I need to hold the button of power for 5 seconds to completely shut down my laptop. even restart or sleep does not work well. I upgraded a real victory 8.1 to 10 free victory by that windows app reservation offered. IM using acer aspire v5 - 573 g i7, version gt750m, Finnish keyboard

    solutions, I tried to random searches that did not work for me.
    1 unchecking quick stop to power options
    2 disabling hibernation in cmd (types a code forgot what I have)
    3. update all drivers and bios with sites acer official drivers, driver pack solution 15.8 and utility driver update intels
    4 decommissioning intel management engine components driver 11 to 9.5
    5. go to the bios and reset to the default settings
    6 make a shortcut of "shutdown" with codes e.g. shutdown /s /t 0
    7. click Update stop

    IM thinking of reinstalling windows 10 via recovery which removes applications, files, drivers, etc. and hope this solves. I can't roll back to win 8.1 because ive done this reset before you completely clean out my system of win random 8 and trashes the restore option was gone.

    Thanks in advance

    Hello/Hallo wuschel93,

    exactly what I had. Stop number appears only after a certain time the laptop running.

    The problem is INTEL MANAGEMENT ENGINE RELATED V.11!

    I fixed it with uninstall Intel Management Engine Version 11. Windows will then install version 9.5 automatically. After that I turned off the automatic update of the driver for this device. You can also install 9.5 without uninstalling the old one, it wil crushed.

    Other manufactures also have this problem, but while Acer is still asleep, they provide a solution (including download links):

    http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/notebook-operating-systems-and-software/sleep-and-shutdown-issues-after...

    Maybe there are any other issues that result in the same problem. But in most cases, it's the answer. The thread Starter maybe forgotten to disable the automatic driver update or made installation of v9.5 evil?

  • Unable to restart or shut down Windows when a USB modem is connected to the computer

    When I plug a USB modem, either 3 G or dial-up, my computer will restart or shut down.

After a manual stop, Windows reports that he is recovered from a serious error. I have had this problem since I first installed Windows Vista about half a year ago. When there are no modems connected to the computer, it restarts and stops normally. In addition, printers and USB flash drives appear not to cause to happen.
