Problem starting a VM that I copied to another machine

I'm trying to recreate our Web/VM production server in a test environment on a separate box.  The host on both machines operating system is Linux (Centos 6.x), and VM/webserver is Windows 2012 (running IIS).

I run nightly backups that backs up the VM directory on the production linux box, I then restored these files to the new test box.  Subsequently, I have installed the same version of VMware workstation/VIX on the new box, but when I try to start the virtual machine I get: "error: unable to connect to the virtual machine.

I wonder what could be the origin here, or how to go about troubleshooting?  I'm just trying to figure out if VMware creates sort of files that bind the virtual machine to its original host, or if it is caused by something else entirely.

OK, so I got it working

Basically, I found a file with extension .lck which I assume is a lock file.  I walked out of the directory (just in case where I was wrong, that I delete it LOL) and then the virtual machine starts.  Windows always passed by chkdsk at startup, I guess because this backup has occurred when the server was essentially run which probably gives him some questions, maybe I could have deleted the logs as well ("guess I'll experiment a little '.)

    Hello

    Where did you downloaded it go?

    Google has little information about this file, so it's probably a Malware startup more entry left which has been removed from your security programs.

  • Why cs6 tells me that "Setup has detected that a reboot of the machine can be pending? What do about it?

    Hello, I am trying to install CS6 Design Standard on a Windows 8.1 Machine.  I receive the response message "we encountered the following problems: Setup has detected that a reboot of the machine can be pending."  It is recommended that you exit Setup, restart your computer and try to reinstall.

    When I restart and try to launch the installation process, told me the same thing.

    I downloaded the software from the adobe site, this is the second time I downloaded, to make sure I got the files correctly, but it happens again.

    Thank you for your help.

    For reference, after reboot several times, I clicked on 'Ignore' and now the software seems to have installed correctly (I hope).

  • I use AOL for email and Firefox 9.0.1. Problem started 2 days ago. Before that I put in the two first letters of an email address and he gave me a list of possible. Now I get "undefined" for each possible instead of the email address.

    There is no problem after updating to Firefox 9.0.1. My contact list always displays as he did before that this problem occurred. When I type the first letter or two of the email address, it used to give me a list of possible. Now t shows just as "undefined" e-mail address when he gives me suggestions for the address that I type in the invoice line. This means that instead of being able to click on my choice in the possible he gives me, I have to go to my contact list, find the name and then click on it if I send email to a person. If it passes in more ways than one, I either enter the full address or use copy and paste from the list of contacts. It is a huge hassle. Any help is appreciated.

    You use like CCleaner cleaning software?

    It is possible that there is a problem with the file that stores the data for the "saved form.

    Rename or delete the formhistory.sqlite (more formhistory.sqlite - log and formhistory.sqlite.corrupt, if they exist) in the profile folder of Firefox in the case where there is a problem with the file that stores the data for the "saved form.

    Which will remove all the data forms, so you can rename formhistory.sqlite to formhistory.sqlite.sav or move the file to another folder in case you need to retrieve recorded data.

    If that worked, then you can delete the files renamed.

    Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > appearance/themes).

  • Is no longer able to see the photos I want to 'move' or 'copy' of the media on the record card "my images". This problem started about two months ago.

    If I do a "move" images, I'm losing pictures of the press card and they are not in the folder. If I do a 'copy' pictures do not appear in the appropriate folder, they are still on my press card. I sell books on ebay, insert pictures at registration. Now when I "move" or "copy an image in 'My ebay sale items' folder, the image does not appear in the folder. However, when I go on ebay to put in the list and click on 'Add photo', the photos in the folder appear as numbers on the screen from ebay. How can I return to what all the images I 'move' or copy ' media card show as pictures in my various folders "my pictures"?

    John,

    In response to your email in the morning... I was able to do what you suggested: make a right click on the photo, make a copy and then paste it on desktop. SPIKE came as a page with the corner turned down icon. I clicked on the icon and was able to display the image that I had copied.

    My wife doesn't have a file of my images. We both use the same computer and the necessary files, although more in games. She's just a hotmail in addition to our regular Outlook Express e-mail account address.

    When the problem started, I did a search for lost images .jpg, thinking they can have wound up in another folder. Each time, research has indicated that the images were in the folder that I thought that I put them. Yet whenever I went to this folder, there are no photos.

    OK... so you know the problem is with your computer
    operating system and not the memory card.

    It is a strange situation for me and I can only guess
    you have a corrupted user profile.

    Don't keep just on my suggestion, but I suspect
    that you may need to create a new user profile:

  • I started Windows 7 Windows 10 and told me that my copy of Windows 7 is not genuine.

    * Original title: Windows 10-7

    I ran Windows 7 for 2 years without any problem. I have upgraded to Windows 10 but he could not recognize my CD/DVD burner, so I started Windows 7. Now, after about 6 weeks, I am told that my copy of Windows 7 is not genuine. Does anyone else have this problem?

    Thanks to everyone who responded with helpful advice. I finally solved myself by going back to the shop that originally installed Win7 on my computer. They have removed the "non-genuine" copy that I had run without problem for 2 years and installed a copy of 'authentic '.

    Thanks again.

    Two points:

    1. it is unlikely that your current installation would work if
    you have changed motherboards. You need to reinstall itself.

    2 but you cannot use your current copy of Windows if you change
    motherboards, not even if reinstall you it cleanly. The largest
    disadvantage of an OEM version, is that its license it binds permanently
    the first computer, it is installed on and Microsoft believes that
    If you change the motherboards, another computer. It can never
    legally be moved to another computer, sold or transferred (except with)
    the original computer). If the computer dies or is stolen, your
    license dies with him.

  • My iPad has been slow and unstable. What can I do if this is caused by a virus from the Internet because that is what I suspect. The problem started after a message like "scripts to run.

    My iPad has been slow and unstable - it actually seems to be hung when I use it. Once I put it, a blue line with four faces (which forms a rectangle or square) appears on the display and moves as he tries to anticipate my next actions or touch on the scree. All started about four days ago while I was downloading of articles in google scholar. A message that reflects something as "run scripts" or "scripts to run" appeared just before the problem started. Please advise on what I can do.

    Try resetting your device. This will not erase your data stored on that device.

    • Press and hold the sleep/wake button
    • Press and hold the Home button
    • Press and hold both buttons until the display turns off and on again with the Apple logo on the subject.

    Alternatively, you can go to settings - general - reset - Reset all settings

    If that doesn't work, restore your device to factory settings. Please note that this will delete the data on your device.

    Take a look this Apple Support article: use iTunes to restore the iPhone, iPad or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support.

  • After 4 years of use my computer without any problems at all, I get a message saying that my copy of Windows Vista is NOT activated.

    Original title: Vista Activation issue

    After 4 years of use my computer without any problems at all, I get a message saying that my copy of Windows Vista is NOT activated.

    Of course, he was and has been deleted now tile view! I made no changes to anything on the computer, so I did a little research

    and found that it could be a virus trying to get 'paid' for a new activation code. I did a complete reinstall of Vista to remove

    such viruses or errors and it still say my copy of Vista is not activated. When I try to follow the steps to activate Vista,

    I got nowhere! Everything I've read say s do the activation of the phone, but my computer doesn't give me the option of phone!

    It gives me only 3 options - "Buy a new online product key", "Enter a different product key", "Contact Hewllet Packard to help solve this problem."

    I called HP and of course my warranty has expired and they even want to talk to me about $100! I'm going crazy trying to figure this out! Help someone?

    Thanks for the reply, but I tried ALL the links you've posted over and over again until I've already posted my question here! The links you suggested sent me round in circles! They say all "choose the Activate by phone option" but I was not getting the phone option on my computer for some reason any.

    I have corrected the problem and HERE IS HOW - 1-800-Microsoft

    It was as simple as that! Now, if only they post this number somewhere here on the site it might save people hours or days of research! After calling the number, work your way through the automated system until you get a man! The guys at Microsoft that answered the phone was great and had activated me and up and running in minutes!

  • Printing in 2 programs problem started 2 days ago, only firefox works fine with Internet Explorer?

    Services Bank web site has a "Print - Friendly View" text, on the top right of the page that displays the account information in a different format if you click on the text. Printing all other functions work ok. The problem isn't when you use them Internet Explorer. The other program is on the Aflacs website, and the problem is very similar. When I click on the text stating "Print copy of invoice", nothing happens, as the text of the Bank. Both work perfectly with Internet Explorer. The problem started about 2 days ago. When it works well, a window will open and show you what it will print and you click on the text "print", and it prints. Any help on this problem will be greatly appreciated.

    Hello

    What version of Windows are you using?

    If it is deleted from the memory card, it can not be recovered. However, there are some third-party applications or the tool that will help you recover photos. If you have saved the pictures on the hard drive and deleted, so you can check in the trash.
