I have a problem starting up a Windows XP Pro Machine virtual Windows 8 host system (which has VMware Workstation 10.1).

I am new to the virtual machines.  For several months I've been running a Windows XP Virtual Machine in an old machine of Windows 7 with VMware Workstation 7.0.  The hard drive is having some problems at times, so I thought that I could move the virtual machine on a new computer that has an OS 8.1 Windows and VMware Workstation 10.  For example, on the Windows 7 machine, I copied the directory with all the * .vm files and pasted into the machine to Windows 8. But when I tried to start VMware Workstation 10 in Windows 8 machine, I got the message "this virtual machine policies are too old to be run by this version of VMware."  I went to the knowledge base and used the solution described here: I've deleted the lines of three 'policy' of the .vmx file and added the suffix .ancien to the .vmpl file, which actually disabled.  Now, when I try to start the virtual machine, the black screen appears with the VMware logo in the Center and everything seems fine, but Windows XP starts.  And logo VMware guard churning away as in a continuous loop.  It is not easy to stop.  The only way to stop VMware is via the Task Manager or restart the machine.

What must I do to get the Windows XP Pro VM to run in the new machine?

VMWare technical support suggested that I have disable 3D acceleration (VM > settings > view and uncheck the box 3D graphics acceleration).  The virtual machine starts now with some minor problems, but it is usable.  But by closing accel 3D turns, in the words of the Technical Support Engineer, David, that there is "a problem with the graphics card not imitate or through its capacity to the virtual machine.  In other words do not support to the VM guest 3D acceleration. "My next step is to make sure that I have the updated driver for the Intel HD Graphics 4600 display adapter.

Minor problems are:

(1) the virtual machine works best in screen mode reduced.  There are a few problems speed mode full-screen.

(2) the VM will still work after switching on of the host.  But after execution of the virtual machine, if power you the virtual machine and the release of VMware workstation, then later, start the workstation, the virtual machine will power not.

To turn it on again you must out of VMware Workstation, disconnect the host machine and then reopen it in one.

  • Suddenly have a problem starting LabWindows CVI 7.0 on XP system

    I've been using LabWindows CVI version 7.0 on a Windows XP operating system.  Earlier in the day, I changed my system screen resolution and was working with the applications.

    Everything seemed to work, but at some point, I finished the session, then restarted.   Instead of leaving, I have a Message popup that says "Index passed is out of reach" and the CVI application closes.

    I tried to reinstall CVI original cast CD.  When everything was installed I get the same message when you attempt to start the CVI.

    Anyone have any idea what could be wrong?

    I vaguely remember having a similar problem a few years ago, because I think that something in the windows registry fixed - but I'm not sure.

  • I have a problem with re - install Windows 8.

    Original title: WINDOWS 8

    Hello

    I have a copy of windows 8 current running on my home pc, but I have problems with the PC, I need to reinstall windows 8 on another pc, I can do it without breaking the rules?

    Hello

    If you have a copy of Windows and installed on several PC, activation may not work because the product key has already been used on another PC, or it is used on PCs more than to let the Microsoft software license agreement. Normally, the rule for most copies of Windows is 1:1, which means that a copy of Windows can be installed on a single PC.

    If your product key is used on PCs to let the Microsoft software license agreement, you will have to purchase a product key for each of your computers in order to activate them.

    Check out the link for more information.

    Why can't I activate Windows?

  • Problems starting HP Mini 210-2100, partition deleted, flashing the line underscore, System Recovery does not

    Hi all

    my situation is like this:

    When I turn on my laptop I get a black screen with a flashing underscore above it "no boot device - insert boot disk and press any key" (even if the BIOS boot order a hard drive for laptop on top). I changed this order a couple of times because I used a USB stick with Windows 7 on it (black version) to enter System Recovery Options (without USB I can't access the system recovery (F11 doesn't work not).)

    My System Recovery Options window is white/empty (no operating system, the size of the partition and the location). I'm going on and click repair system that did not help (it of a loop, do not start Windows). In the Diagnostics and repair of details it is Root cause found:

    The partition table doesn't have a valid System Partition.

    Repair action: Partition table repair

    Result: Completed successfully. Error code = 0 x 0

    That's because before this problem starting with underscore flashing, I had another problem: "BOOTMGR is missing. Press Ctrl + Alt + Delete to restart» I was impatient and wanted to fix that quickly and made a big mistake, after looking on the web for some time I have found no useful websites describing how to fix it (I found one when it was already too late). I went on a channel on youtube and came with: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8n-G9Rv2zo before I didn't know what a clean install was, I looked up 03:55 and made perfect:

    CMD:

    DiskPart

    list disk

    Select disk 0

    partition from the list

    selected and deleted all 4 partitions (size: 215GB, 199 MB, GB, 103-17 MB)

    created new partitions same dimensions (all the primary dimensions)

    then I stopped and clicked on a cross (x) in cmd to get out when I came to a new window where I clicked on YES (I have not read what he was doing, I just wanted to go to bed because it was too late). Since there is no "BOOTMGR is missing. Press Ctrl + Alt + Del to restart"(damage because now I know how to fix this, I was just too stupid, impatient and irresponsible), there is just a line of underscore flashing with"No boot device - insert boot disk and press any key"any of the BIOS boot order is this sentence does not disappear. He did a couple of times before, but no more.

    So after this long description, my question is:

    Is there a way to recover my data which I assume is lost and can not restore? I have no backups or images.

    P.S. I do not installed Windows 7, I just deleted partition table and created a new.

    Sorry for my English, I'm not a native speaker. Thank you in advance.

    Hi MatBar,

    Thank you for visiting the Forums HP's Support and welcome. I'm sorry but there is no way to recover the data once you have deleted the partition. You could try a local repair facility, given that some devices of data to recover your data.

    You may restore the Windows 7 operating system with disks if you find someone with the same version of Windows that you use their discs.

    I hope this helps.

    Thank you.

  • USB foot pedal problem (Infinity IN-USB-2): recognized by Windows but does not work on VMware Workstation 10

    When I connect an Infinity IN-USB-2 pedal for my guest Windows 7 Professional (on Ubuntu 14.04 and VMware Workstation 10.0.2), the pedal gets recognized by Windows and different applications, but by pressing the pedal itself has no effect.

    I downloaded a USB foot pedal Tester (http://vec-infinity-in-usb-1-foot-pedal-tester.soft112.com/) on the client and he acknowledged that the device is connected, but when I pressed on any of the three pedals, the tester has not detected the presses.

    I tried the pedal on a real Windows computer, and it worked fine.

    When I connect the pedals, even with the guest in the foreground, VMware Workstation will appear a dialog box:

    The specified device is claimed by another (usbhid) driver on the host operating system. The device can be used. To continue, the appliance will be first disconnected from its current driver. [Cancel] [OK]

    When I click 'OK', we state above: Windows recognizes that the device is connected, but foot-presses are not detected. My other USB devices are not pop this dialog box. (Click Cancel maintains the device disconnected from the guest.) I don't know if the dialog box is significant or a red herring.

    Here's what/var/log/syslog says when I connect the pedal with the Windows client in the foreground:

    kernel: [281434.822751] usb 2 - 1.7: new low speed USB device number 28 using ehci-pci

    kernel: [281434.920667] usb 2 - 1.7: new USB key found, idVendor is 05f3, idProduct = 00ff

    PSG-probe: bus: 2, device: 28 is not a MTP device

    And when I click on "OK" to the dialog, he said:

    kernel: [281480.900448] usb 2 - 1.7: reset low speed USB device number 28 using ehci-pci

    When I unplug the device, it is said:

    kernel: [281517.582472] usb 2 - 1.7: unplug USB, the device number 28

    Thanks for the ideas on solving this problem.

    Answering my own question: I spoke with a salesman who told this pedal does not work on virtual machines for the following reason:

    These pedals are all just Universal USB controllers that require programs or applications to be able to see and recognize them for use. Because they are installed by the base of Windows and Generic USB devices drivers, they can not be seen my remote computers via USB sharing etc.

    They recommended using a hotkey program to work around the problem. I have not tried this solution, but bought a different pedal that works out of the box with VM: a vP-1 vPedal. Lower build quality than infinity (in my opinion) but it works perfectly.

    This is the idea of the key of the seller:

    I have a solution that will allow you to use the pedal as expected if the remote program who need to use supports the use of shortcut keys. For example, these pedals are commonly used with NCH Software Express Scribe professional software. This software can use either a pedal, or you can assign the playback functions to access keys. In the scenario you are talking you re Express Scribe on the remote computer to use keyboard shortcuts, you then install Pedalware (http://www.altoedge.com/pedalware/index.html), a free Windows only the foot pedal utility made by NCH Software, you then use the Pedalware utility to assign the buttons on the pedal of a keyboard shortcut that coincides with those remote program.

  • Windows 10 no internet comments on VMWare Workstation 10 and 11

    Hello

    I have a Windows 10 comments on my Web host pro 8.1.

    With one of the latest updates of windows 10 (guest), there is no internet available.

    My other guests (< w10) - all filled as well - work very well.

  • What version of Windows host running better on VMWare Workstation 32 or 64?

    Hello

    IM planning to install VMWare Workstation and I want to hear what you guys have to say on what host Windows works better under VMWare Workstation platform.

    Will install Windows on Macbook Pro C2D 4 GB operating system.

    KR,

    Cristiano Botelho

    on a 4 Gb machine 32-bit and 64-bit systems probably all detect 3.x GB RAM just so you can use a good 32-bit or a 64-bit system.

    My first choice staff would be 2003 32-bit, but you will be here other recommendations as well.

    This question usually results in contradictory answers... you have been warned

    whatever you do - do NOT use any taste of Vista

    HP G6 8 64-BIT Windows clubhouse

    PRODUCT: C4M16EA #ABU
    MODEL: g6-2241sa

    When starting my laptop I get the message ' Loading/Starting Windows' or 'prepare auto repair.

    It will always stay as such indefinatly.

    My keyboard is also sense is unresponsive, I can't access all the screens that can help, even if for some reason any 'ctrl + alt + del' seems to work before the HP Logo loads, but causes just the laptop to reboot.

    I tried to turn my cell phone off, remove the power cable and the battery, now the power button for 15 seconds, plug the power cable while leaving the battery and pressing the power button to turn it on, but nothing.

    Now, this problem seems occor after the fall of the battery, I suppose that he would be wrong with the clips.

    but before even the pack fell, the laptop started to freeze, for the first time since I bought it, unfortunaty battery fell as he was frozen, adding probably more to the struggle of laptops every start.

    as I'm just young and still in education I am not proven flexible meaning I don't have an income either.

    So if I need to replace my laptop or any computer component of such, please suggest the cheapest possible you...

    Thank you.

    Unfortunately, my warranty has expired, I thought I was doing he extended but a year and a half, according to moore's law, I should be able to buy a brand knew portable with double technology for the same price as this one. So I decided just let expire and take care of it.

    But overall, the problem has been solved, I left my laptop on one night while I was sleeping and it fixed itself, I guess it was just a matter of waiting.

    In the future, I'll wait and see what happenes before posting for help here.

    Thanks a lot for your suggestion however.

    Regardless of the choice that I do, XP starts to run, then I get a blue screen flashes briefly (too fast to be able to read what whatsoever) and the process begins again.

    I can access the BIOS and were able to boot from a CD.

    The BSOD appears especially because of the hardware or software serious malfunction.
