Retrieve snapshots after broken vmx file has been restored

I'm running a Win7x64 Machine (host and guest) with Workstation 7 and I came across a problem after a failed to stop... after that my host system restarted I could not start my guest operating system that the vmx file was broken.

I created a new machine virtual and added the original virtual disk (vmdk) and could restart the virtual machine. It was only after restarting when I realized that I've revertet to the initial state of the virtual machine and all the changes that I stored in snapshots disappeared.

So I tried to do the same steps again and instead of using the original vmdk, I tried to use the one of the last snapshot. But this was not possible (the virtual disk parent has been changed since the child was created)

Can I do to solve this problem? the parent disk was not changed at all, but I guess that the initialization of the system created new logs etc...

Please download the attached zip file
extract and replace "Windows 7 x 64 Edition_workstation.bin"

then run the cmd

DSFI.exe "Windows 7 x 64 Edition_workstation.vmdk" 512 1024 "Windows 7 x 64 Edition_workstation.bin.

Please note the small change in cmd!

When you're assigning the file "Windows 7 x 64 Edition_workstation - 000004.vmdk" to your VM or simply use the vmx file attached

    Here is the explanation:

    ORA-01152: file string has not been restored from a sufficiently old backup

    Cause: An incomplete recovery session was launched, but an insufficient number of logs have been applied to standardize the data base. This file is always in the future than the last applied log. The most likely cause of this error is forgetting to restore the file from a backup before proceeding with an incomplete recovery.

    Action: Apply more marbles until data is coherent or restore the database from a previous backup and recovery of repeat file.

  • BBM BBM plant after that dropbox file has been deleted

    Hey everyone, I recently shared a video using the dropbox feature and I accidentally deleted the video of my selection but now the cat closes when I try to scroll the time that I provided the link dropbox.

    Someone has an idea?

    Thank you.

    RE: I have manged to solve such problem by importing files to dropbox and renaming to what messenger BBM had renamed them also. In doing so, BBM has detected files where there and allowed me to move forward through the history of cats.

    "Problem solved, but I found a bug.

    If an official can report this bug that would be great.

    The bug is that if you link something someone using the dropbox function, then by removing the access dropbox file later, you can not go through the history of the cat

    Hi Carl,

    I suggest you go through this article to Java which can be useful.

    Why should I remove old versions of Java in my system?

    Removal of previous versions of the .net Framework is based on the applications that are running on the computer.

    For applications, if you have an application based on any .NET Framework on the computer, you cannot delete it since you have need to support the application runs correctly.

    .NET framework 3.5 SP1 includes .NET Framework 2.0 SP2 and 3.0 SP2. This means that .NET Framework 2.0 and 3.0 can not be deleted because they are the sine qua non of .NET Framework 3.5 SP1. If you have any application based on .NET Framework 3.5 SP1, please do not remove .NET 2.0 SP2, 3.0 SP2 and 3.5 SP1.

    I would also not to uninstall the security updates that are important for the security of your computer.

  • Sharing multimedia files has been disabled because a windows required setting or a component has changed.

    Earlier today, I was a game on my Xbox 360 and decided I want to play music in the background, using the guide of 360.

    I went to "Select Music", searched my PC in the devices menu, and it does not appear. This has happened before, I just figured out my PC was in place. I went to the 360 Dashboard and looked back to the server. He has not yet shown upward.

    I went to Windows Media Player on the PC that I share the media selected in the dropdown under library and went to share multimedia files. (Here's where it gets confusing...)

    He gave me a message saying "sharing multimedia files has been disabled because a Windows setting required or a component has been changed." I hit very well, and I went back to the sharing of multimedia files. Now, I had the option to check the box "share my media". I checked, hit OK, made sure everything was good to go. The unit has not yet appear on the dashboard. I went back to the sharing of multimedia files. To my surprise, I received always «sharing multimedia files has been disabled...» »

    This is the part of the confusion: if I turn on media sharing, Windows it cuts back.

    I tried all the solutions online that I could find, which includes deleting the files in the Windows Media AppData\Microsoft folder. Register a dll to the administrator. Ensuring that you have the "Windows Media" folder. All take very well.

    Basically I narrowed down it to: nothing works.

    Each person could fix their problem by using the solutions proposed in other posts on other forums/blogs. Mine is recurring. In addition, my media is on a separate internal hard drive, which I added to the Windows Media Player files to add multimedia elements. I went and deleted from here. I still have the problem of sharing.

    All said Microsoft is to restore your computer to a previous state. It's not really useful. I don't want to go just restore. I want to fix it where. In addition: restoration would not help, I don't know how long this problem exists, but I have not known about it.


    -Very well, after a fresh reformat the hard drive and re-installing Windows, I finally reduced the problem.

    I have not had ANY problems with the computer... Until I installed my Adobe CS5 Master Collection again.

    It turns out that the part of the Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended software called Adobe Presenter 7 causes the sharing to go haywire.

    I deleted Adobe Presenter 7, and just like that, sharing has increased again.

    In addition, Adobe Acrobat 9 was causing my sidebar to go haywire, so I advanced and which takes off as well.

    Have not had a problem since.

  • Script Java Application: WORK WITH FILES has BEEN DENIED?

    I've just updated Firefox v 17.0.1 when it restarted a message of Java said permission to work with files has been denied. I have never seen this before. Then I closed FF and reopened and the same message appeared again.
    (Note: this message was not there when I 1st FF open before I've updated)

    When the message appears, I'm still able to open and use the FF.

    To avoid confusion:

    Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.

    See "create a profile":

    If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a profile in the new profile, but make sure not to copy corrupted files.
