Problems with VMware Player

Can someone help me please?

I have two questions, but here's the background. I run a virtual machine using VM Player with Enterprise Server 2008 x 64 as my OS and Windows 7 on the client system. The version of the player that I use is the 3.0.1 and am not able to upgrade to a newer version that the virtual machines created on the new version won't be compatible with the rest on 3.0.1.

Question 1: I get the following error message:

"Could not get the driver vmci version: the handle is invalid.".

You have an incorrect version of the driver 'vmci.sys '. Try reinstalling VMware Player.

Power DevicePowerOn module has failed. »

I uninstalled the software and reinstalled again, download the software from vmware download sit and still get the same error message. I also entered in the configuration of the .vm file and changed the settings vmciio:present from true to false. Should I do this?

Question 2: Now the virtual machine is not recognizing the CDROM. I tried to use the real player allocated on the client system and also let the virtual machine automatically select, the two ways fail. I looked through other forums that show screen shots of how to fix this problem, unfortunately the screen with what I presented is different from that in demonstration.

Any help would be fantastic, thank you.

Welcome to the community,

I don't know, but what you can try is to:

1st edition.) Can you confirm you changed the setting vmci0.present = 'false' with the virtual machine properly closed - not suspended - and VMware Player closed.

2nd edition.) In settings of the virtual machine CD-ROM, click on the button "Advanced...". "and enable"Legacy Emulation"see if that helps.

If the above does not help, please report (attached) file vmware.log of the virtual machine to a response message.

    Problems with media player 11 and all other players, playing music is broken?

    Hi all

    I have a big sound even and odd / problem reading music?

    My computer using windows media player 11 and classic media windows and others to play my music in the hard lists recorded by windows media player 11 copied from my CD.

    But here's the weird problem that only started to happen now, when I play music saved on any one of the players of the computer the sound breaks sometimes but not always?

    Even if I try tp use players like windows media player 11 to play recorded video clips sound breaks toward the top, but the video image only?

    I have a newly completed with windows xp home system and service pack 3, and all memory and material necessary for a pc game of level, a new graphics card was installed and by the way the problem of noise was there before this was done?

    I don't know what is the fault? And I don't know how to find out what the required audio driver are for his computer system I?

    I tried the right click on the audio device to see if the pilot could be updated in case that's all? All he asks is a cd or a floppy disk, but I thought you could ask to search for drivers online too?

    He even now breaks the game sounds too!

    Help, please

    If you access Windows Update (start - programs - Windows Update), you can
    see if there is a newer driver. The drivers are optional updates are not so made
    automatically.
     
    Download the driver for your audio hardware manufacturer (or motherboard if
    "It's built-in sound). They are often newer than Windows Update.
     
    This explains how to disable the improvements.

  • Problem with video player

    Hi experts,

    I'm under 2 problems with video player in my application:

    1. the backlight turns off automatically after 30 seconds by default during playback of a video file.

    2. impossible to adjust the volume, he always plays with the highest volume.

    When I try to play the video by media player integrated BB Bold, the volume is adjustable and the backlight is on during the display of the video. Is it possible to do the same thing in my application?

    Thanks in advance,

    Kind regards

    Binh Nguyen

    -For the first problem, you will need to set the backlight to yourself in the code, something like:

    If ((Display.getProperties () & Display.DISPLAY_PROPERTY_REQUIRES_BACKLIGHT)! = 0)
    {
    Backlight.Enable (true, 20);
    }

    Be careful about the number of seconds that you pass to the enable(). They are tp limited 255 seconds even if you spend a lot. This means that if your video is longer than 255 seconds, you must call the activate more than once. I usually call it the timer as well as check the status

    -For volume control, the player does not meet the default control buttons. You need to implement it in your code.

    Set the class of player that you use to implement the method as follows:

      protected boolean keyControl(char c,int status,int time)
        {
            if(c == Characters.CONTROL_VOLUME_UP)
            {
                //IncreaseVolume;
            }
            else if(c == Characters.CONTROL_VOLUME_DOWN)
            {
                //decreaseVolume();
            }
            return super.keyControl(c,status,time);
        }
    

    Where the increseVolume is something like:

    If (_Kit! = null) //_vc = player VolumeControl
    {
    _vc.setLevel (volumeLevel);
    }

  • The simplies never backup? -with VMware Player

    Hello community,

    is it possible to use VMware player form simplies to 'save' like this:

    1. a virtual machine inside directoty create: VM_Win7_Folder

    2. copy and paste the complete record for let say Copy_VM_Win7_Folder

    3 and virtual distributor once the VM_Win7_Folder is infected or something just go and delete the entire folder

    with Windows Explorer and rename Copy_VM_Win7_Folder in VM_Win7_Folder and start VM?

    Is it works too?

    Best regards

    Milan

    Yes, make a copy of the files that make up a virtual machine is a way to save.  Made it with the stop of the guest operating system, not suspended and VMware Player closed.

    You can also use snapshot to revert to a previous State thus solve the immediate problem, but remember to always keep any user of data that is stored with the file systems Guest if operating system you do not lose and the user data when it is necessary to restore a VM from the backup or to revert to a previous snapshot.

  • I need assistance with VMware Player Manifest.txt file

    I make a program of federal work with ITT Technical Institute study. Well, we have VMware Player installed on lab computers, and on a weekly basis, I have to empty the student accounts.  Well some student accounts I can't delete, I am logged in as the administrator of the Local Machine and when I try to remove most of the accounts I get the message saying that the manifest.txt file is "cannot delete manifest.txt.2: access denied."  Make sure that the disk is not full or write protected and that the file is not currently in use. »

    and see that I have clear accounts because space is limited on these machines.  I was just wondering if any 1 can help me on how to remove this file, it would be greatly appreciated and if I have this post in the wrong section will be some 1 let me know?

    Thank you

    If the boot without failure for the administrator account and not be able to delete a file under the other user account or the account itself, there is something else wrong.

    First, I make sure that no VMware not associated with the process are running which must be in Mode safe and then I would take a look at the permissions on the file and, if necessary and or possible I would take possession in order to delete the file.  Otherwise issues that may could be corruption of the file system, in which case I would run chkdsk with the argument/f or if it's just that a file could / can be an area damaged the disk hard physics so you can test the physical hard drive with a diagnostic tool specific HARD drive manufacturing.

    Other options would be to try to remove the file from the Recovery Console by booting from the installation disc or Windows using a Linux Live OS like Slax.

    BTW is this topic on the host or guest?  If in a guest I just delete the virtual machine and replace it from a backup and if it is on the host computer, then this is not really a matter of VMware itself and it is more a problem of Windows Administration and must be treated accordingly from the point of view of the user account and or file system management regardless of the application that created the file and act accordingly.

  • vmrun suspend problem of VMware Player

    I've been using VMware workstation for a while but recently switched to VMware player 3.0, (largely because of the irritating instllation problems for Workstation 6.5.3 under Ubuntu 9.10 x86_64).

    With my computer, I use the vmrun command close all my virtual machines.

    Despite downloading the latest version of Vmware-vix (1.8.1), vmrun suspend & lt; path to the vmx file & gt; generates this error message:

    Unable to connect to the host

    Error: Type of Service VIX_SERVICEPROVIDER_VMWARE_WORKSTATION

    My reading of the documentation seemed to suggest that vmrun must work with the player as a workstation. Please could someone help me understand what ' I'm missing here?

    Thank you very much

    Enter the code < code > < code > here you use the t on vmrun indicator to indicate that the target is a vmware player? :

    < Code >-T < hostType > (ws| ) Server| server1 | fusion| esx| vc| Player )< code >

    I was able to run suspend with:

    <code>$ vmrun -T player suspend /export/vmware/cmp/cmp.vmx

    </code>

    It is with the version of the player (3.0.0 build-203739) included in VMWare Workstation 7 (on Ubuntu 9.10).

  • Problems with media player and Streaming Online & Essentials

    I didn't know where to post this because it concerns problems reading media downloaded and all media and streaming online. In other words, any media. I have now found my problem with the problem and that's coming from MS Essentials and becomes very disruptive. Carefully One I've ever had this problem and it's probably because it was not a free service, however, since I installed essentials the problem has worsened. Also on one of my computers, the update will start just randomly and all but shuts down the system. Yet once, never happened with care. If this problem persists I will launch essentials to another more compatible antivirus protection system. Moreover, it happens with all other types of media also like Real Player and i Tunes so it is not exclusive to WMP.    All resolutions to this problem would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

  • A very strange problem with DVD player (some DVD play not)

    Hello everyone.

    I bought a laptop Dell Inspiron 3543 2 months ago. Overall, I am very satisfied with this product, but I have a problem with the DVD player. When I insert some DVD discs, the driver reads some DVDs but not others. After trying to play DVDs, I see that the DVD player play about half of the DVD I'm looking for. Although I can guarantee, I didn't send my laptop to the service because I can't work even a day without my cell phone. So, in order to solve the problem, I bought a DVD player new, original Dell (the same model of dvd player, which is Panasonic Matshita DVD +-RW UJ8E2). Today I started using my new DVD player, but it also has the same problem as my old DVD drive or it also does not play some DVD.

    To make the issue even more strange, here are some details:

    -My dvd drives have no problem and I have tried many original DVDs (especially the original films). And all the dvd disks that do not play on my computer play on other computers with no problems. There is no problem with the disks.

    -Certainly no problem with the "DVD region Code". I use original DVDs with region code 2, which is the area code for my country.

    -All my drivers, the operating system and the dvd drive drivers are up to date. When I look at my DVD drive properties, it is written that "the dvd drive works properly.

    -When I insert a DVD disc, if my DVD player he plays, he plays each time. But if my dvd player does not play a dvd, and then he never plays it. So, there is a consistency in the dvd disc set to play or not. When a DVD disc does not play, my DVD player rolls the drive some time and then the DVD done pretending as if there is no disc in the drive.

    -Both my old and newly purchased DVD drives have exactly the same problem, so I think that there's no problem like a lens dirty. I also think that there is no mechanical problem with one of my DVD drives because my newly purchased, original DVD player also has the same problem.

    I thank everyone for any help or advice in advance.

    Today, I received my dvd player third, new, Chinese, not original from a seller of spare part. He plays all DVDs with no problems. :)

    If in the future someone always has the same problem as me and read this Web page to find a solution, you know where is the problem.

  • Guy Android coming to BB. Installation with VMWare player/Simulator/SDK issues

    I installed it,

    C/C++ QNX Momentics IDE...installer-bbndk-BB10_0_04-win32-186-201204250810-201204251322.exe

    VMWare... VMware-player-version 4.0.3 - 703057.exe

    I go to the early stages of QNX Momentics IDE and try opening an example (SDK)
    I get the Setup Deployment Wizard. I go to Device Setup and choose Simulator.
    What should I do now? The last step click the HELP (?) says he launched the Simulator, but I get a page with the title "Blackberry Simulator is not found and it's looking for a file VNX. I checked and tripled check the previous steps on the help icon.

    The Simulator is deadlocked C:\Documents and Settings\User1\My Documents\Virtual Machines\BlackBerry10Simulator-BB10_0_04. And I clearly see a BlackBerry10Simulator.vmx file in there
    but the SDK app doesn't see a single VMX file. The folder 'controllers' and other records.

    I tried the VMWare Player. It works very well.

    What I am doing wrong?

    Hey be based,

    The initial installation of the IDE and Simulator can be sometimes a bit daunting. Some of these steps you've done but im going anyway to list them:

    1. raise some Code by signing keys: keys

    2. download and install Momentics IDE and install

    3. download and install Blackberry Simulator

    4 download and install VMWare

    5 disable all firewall programs including windows firewall

    6. open VMWare-> choose open a Virtual Machine-> access your VNX file and open it

    7 if it opens really slow try changing options in VMWare 2 CPU and see if you can activate the "Virtualization technology" or "AMD Virtualization" in the BIOS

    8 the address of development of the Simulator (click the icon of the person with the toothed wheel on the menu bar of your alpha dev Simulator

    9. open the IDE, click window > Preferences on Windows and select BlackBerry and click BlackBerry Setup Wizard Deployment.

    10. follow the onscreen instructions to set up your target (Simulator or device) and add your chips of the device debugging.

    11 A this point your simulator could not auto discover so add your IP address you found earlier and if you haven't added a password in your simulator then let empty password.

    12. the rest of the wizard of BlackBerry deployment configuration should work just fine.

    13 open a sample application

    14. click on the file of the bar - descriptor.xml in the Project Explorer view, and then select "Set of symbolic debugging.

    15. right click on the project file, and then select Configurations to Build > Set Active > 4 Simulator-Debug

    16. right click on the project file, and then select generate the project.

    17. then right click on the project again and select run as > BlackBerry Application C/C++

    18. If all goes well, everything should work from there.

    Remember you need to do 14-17 for each project you want to run through the Simulator. And always turn on the virtual machine before you start the IDE I found that things always work better that way.

    I hope this helps!

  • Need help with VMware Player to run!

    I've been using VMware Player 7.1 successfully for some time, but my drive hard host started making noise, so I installed a new SSD drive as drive C on the host computer.  My old hard drive installation was 8.1 for Windows 64-bit, but needed to be cleaned, so I did a clean install of Windows 8.1 64 bit on my new SSD for the host.  My guest OS (8.1 64-bit Windows) has been installed on drive E, then I'm not touching this player.  I then installed VMware Player 7.1 and all is well.  However, when I now run VMware Player 7.1 and try to open my (8.1 Windows 64-bit) guest OS, he says now that the Intel VT - x is disabled.  I've never touched the BIOS at all, but to check I went into the BIOS and Intel Virtualization is always on because it has been.  My system is a motherboard ASUS Sabertooth with an i7 processor and 16 GB of ram.

    So I rechecked everything in the BIOS and made sure the virtualization is enabled.  What else can I do to get VMware Player 7.1 running?  Help, please!

    The log file created when I tried to run the guest operating system is attached.

    Thank you

    Abby

    It is indeed strange that there is a difference with no changes to the BIOS. In any case, other messages in the forums, it seems like some antivirus/end point protection applications can cause these issues (see, for example, binary translation is incompatible with the long mode). You have already installed this application?

    It might be interesting to see vmware.log from the virtual machine HARD disk.

  • Vmrun fails with VMware Player

    Hello

    I am currently using VMware Player version 7.1.2 and VIX version 1.13

    I want to start my VM using vmrun VIX, unfortunately when I type in the command line, the following command:

    departure of player vmrun t 'D:\myUser\VMWare\Windows7\Windows 7.vmx '.

    It will give me something like this:

    Unable to connect to the host.

    Error: The specified version is not found

    I'm doing something wrong or is this a bug?

    For the mention I don't want to not buy or even to install VMware Workstation as I had a lot of trouble with it in the past (I had to do a system restore to get rid of) uninstall.

    OK, managed to make it work, here's how:

    1) there is a vixwrapper config.txt file in the folder VMware\VMware VIX. Make a backup and overwrite the following on the content of the file:

    #@Version-Info
    #
    # VixAllProducts revision mapping for Workstation/Player
    #
    # This file translates product version specifications into the appropriate Vix
    # implementations.
    #
    # Each @Version-Info line has 5 white-space seperated entries:
    #
    #    provider-type: ws, esx, viserver, etc
    #    apiVersion: the apiVersion supported, as passed in from VixHost_Connect()
    #    ipc-type: none, vmdb, vmodl, cim
    #    product-version: the product version string
    #
    #    implementation-directory: the path to the library that implements the
    #          version described by the first 4 parameters
    #
    #
    # The configuration is based on the first 4 fields, which describe
    # the product.  The 5th field is the location.  To force it to try
    # multiple location, the same configuration can be repeated.  Note that
    # list is built in LIFO order, so the latest entry in the configuration
    # will be the first used.  If for some reason that value fails, it will
    # continue through any other matches.
    
    # Workstation 11.1.2 and Player 7.1.2
    ws        17  vmdb  11.1.2 Workstation-11.0.0-and-vSphere-6.0.0
    player    17  vmdb   7.1.2 Workstation-11.0.0-and-vSphere-6.0.0
    ws-shared 17  none  11.1.2 Workstation-11.0.0-and-vSphere-6.0.0
    
    # EOF
    

    (2) if there is a folder named "workstation - 11.0.0 - and-vSphere - 6.0.0" then move elsewhere as a backup

    (3) make a copy of the folder "Desktop - 10.0.0 - and-vSphere - 5.5.0" and name it:

    Workstation - 11.0.0 - and-vSphere - 6.0.0

    (4) do not forget to add the vmrun path to the variable user: PATH (the vmrun path should be something like this: "C:\Program Files (x 86) \VMware\VMware")

    Now the vmrun commands should work.

    The following command opens the virtual machine:

    departure of player vmrun t 'D:\myUser\VMWare\Windows7\Windows 7.vmx '.

  • Problems with Flash Player

    About 2 weeks ago I started having problems with the CBBC iplayer (for my girl not me honest)

    He told me to download Flash player. I followed this link, downloaded and everything seems OK. However, I still get the same message.

    I tried different download options, save, run, save, run, and save and I seem to have the same problem.

    As advised by a Web page, I went into settings > manage add-ons > toolbars and extensions > Shockwave poster as installed and activated

    I tried the following Web site and I am told that it is not installed.

    Any suggestions gratefully received
