• Portege R - 400 3 G modem freezes VMWare Player 3.0 in Windows 7

  Hi all

  I have a problem following needs your help.

  I have a Portege R-400 with 3 G build-in modem. It is installed Windows 7. All is well until I install the VMWare Player 3.0.

  Without modem 3G connection, each application still works fine. (I use WiFi most of the time.)

  When I'm not in measure use WiFi and connect with 3G, without starting VMWare Player, the system freezes within 5 to 20 minutes.

  The symptom is without any response to the keyboard and mouse, but can see HD light flashing.

  Then, I'll try Virtual PC from microsoft. He may have the same problem, too.

  It will be very appreciated if there is no solution for this problem.

  Thank you very much!

  Dear Mike is a rather complicated question. I mean Toshiba muss well deliver books and work with the factory settings, everything should work fine.
  If you use some third-party software of the part and if something goes wrong, it can be really complicated.

  Who is responsible for support here?
  I hope that someone on this forum has exactly the same specifications, the setting, the operating system and additional software like you and can help you with this.

• Impossible to install VMware tools in Win 2012 R2 guest

  Hi all

  just upgraded merger 7.0.1 for 7.1.0 because I thought that he could solve this problem:

  After you have configured the client Win 2012 R2, I try to install vmware tools, choosing the option in the VM menu. But I always get the message "not available for this customer to vmware tools" (hope translation is exactly the same of my installation of German fusion...).

  Only the seams Win 2012 R2 to be affected. Linux, OS X, Win XP/7 works fine.

  Any idea?

  Thank you, david

  I met the same problem.   You need to do a manual installation of the vmware tools (http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&docTypeID=DT_KB_1_1&externalId=1003417).

• Commands to start and stop a virtual machine hosted by VMware player

  Where can I find the commands to start and stop a virtual machine hosted by VMware player on a host Windows Server 2008 R2 (64-bit)?

  I need to start and stop the virtual computer from a script as I could do this by selecting the ' power on ' and his 'guest stop' or at least 'power off' options of the GUI of VMware player.

  If a control interface is not available, is available if I update to VMware Workstation?

  With the player, the VIX API is a separate download (on the same page you downloaded the install drive in), so I guess you will have to install the separate package to use it.  But it's pretty easy to do...

• VMware Player 4.0 LAN segments

  I tried VMware Player 4.0 on Windows (Windows 7) and Linux (Ubuntu 10.04).

  One thing I noticed that a different Linux a Windows is that VMware Player on Windows has the choice to create and use the local network segment while in Linux, I can't find this option.

  Just a question here, is the segment LAN is a feature introduced in VMware Player 4.0? If so, how to enable it on Linux if possible? Any idea?

  I noticed that when I open a virtual machine on linux which has been previously configured to use the LAN segments on a windows computer that VMware Player DOES recognize the local Network Segment.  He didn't display the name of the local network segment or allow me to choose another LAN segment, but the comments seem to work on the local network as planned segment.  I don't have another computer virtual configured to use the local network segment.  So, I can't verify that they would be able to communicate effectively on the segment, but I suspect they would have.

  Why they support LAN segments and not only not wanted to give us a graphical interface to manage is beyond me.  But GUI seems to be pretty hit or miss on linux in general.

  Thus, a possible solution is just manually edit the file ".vmx" to set up so that it uses a local network segment.

  (1) turn the VM guest that you want to change and to use a local Network Segment.

  (2) open ' / home/vmware //.vmx "with a text editor.

  (3) look for a line similar to:

  ethernet0. ConnectionType = "hostonly".

  (4) change the line as follows:

  ethernet0. ConnectionType = "Charlotte".

  (5) add a line similar to the following line at the end of the vmx file (this identifies the LAN segment to which will connect the VM):

  ethernet0.pvnID = ' 52 52 64 84 ea 7f 81 13 - df this 81 3 c 59 5b b7 e5.

  (6) to save your changes, close the text editor, and open the settings of computer virtual of the guest in VMware Player PC to check the NIC is plugged into a "LAN" Segment declarations

  (7) make the same changes on other virtual machines that you want to be on the same LAN segment.

  NOTE: The path identified in step 2 can be different on your system.  You can find the path by using VMware Player by going to the settings of the virtual machine in the virtual machine, selecting the 'Options' tab and looking at the "Working Directory" in the "General" settings  You should find the ".vmx" for the virtual machine file to this place.

  I hope this helps.

• A license for VMWare Player?

  I saw the deal for VMWare Fusion for Mac includes a commercial license for VMWare player, so I was wondering, if I buy VMWare Fusion can I use the VMWare Player on my Windows machine license or is there a better way for me to get a commercial version of VMWare player without having to actually buy VMWare Workstation?

  lzrelak wrote: I saw the deal for VMWare Fusion for Mac includes a commercial license for VMWare player

  No, VMware Fusion for Mac does not include a license for VMware Player it's VMware Fusion 5 Professional, which includes the license for VMware Player for commercial use.

  so I was wondering, if I buy VMWare Fusion can I use the VMWare Player license on my Windows machine

  With VMware Fusion 5 professional, Yes

  is there a better way for me to get a commercial version of VMWare player without having to actually buy VMWare Workstation?

  To use VMware Player commercially, buy VMware Fusion 5 license Professional even one chooses or can even use VMware Fusion 5 Professional.  It comes through a convoluted cross-license that VMware has not done a very poor job of marketing and or explain and caused a lot of confusion among some users trying to interpret.

• VMware Player installation program starts not at all on win7 Enterprise x 64

  Hello!

  My problem is, when I click on Setup nothing happens, UAC asking permission, click OK, but not even an error message... (the same scenario with UAC disabled)

  I would like to install vmware player on the host Windows 7 Enterprise x 64 (HW virtualization enabled in bios, CPU AMD Athlon X 2)

  This could be a bug in MS, I don't know, but extremely annoying

  Any idea would be great!

• How to run windows 7 x 64 vmware player in servers virtualized under esxi5.5

  I have a server I want to virtualize.  A run P2V and converted.

  There is a vmware player windows 7 which does not work on the server because it is said that long Mode is not taken in charge.

  On the host: esxcfg-info responds with "3 - VT/AMD-V indicates that VT or AMD - V turned on in the BIOS and can be used '. '"

  Under the settings for the virtual machine (2008R2) cpu "expose guest operating system virtualization assisted material" is grayed out.

  Is it possible to run this configuration?

  Thank you

  Ken

  I'm sorry.  I should have raised my X 7350 earlier.  The X 7350 does not support the EFA and is therefore not able to support VT-x/EPT virtualized.  You need at least a class of Nehalem system.  In addition, your host looks like it is in a cluster based VCA Merom.  If the host is in an EVC cluster, the EVC cluster must be at least a basic line of Nehalem for virtualized VT-x/EPT support.

• Host 64-bit Ubuntu 11.10 yourself running comments Windows 7 Pro 64 bit in vmware Player 4

  Hi all

  I have a new installation of Ubuntu 11.10 64 bit on my old Dell Optiplex GX-620 machine.
  I installed vmware player 4.0.2 on who.
  I would like to create a virtual machine for few comments Windows 7 Professional 64.

  Is the above a possible scenario? VMware player wonder what OS I'm going in the virtual machine and seems to only present 32 bits in the drop-down list of choices.  Maybe I can ignore that and go ahead and install the Win 7 64bits instead?

  Thanks for your help.

  avmad

  I fear that you will not be able to run all guests 64-bit with the CPU you use. As far as I know, none of the Pentium 4 processors support Intel VT - x.

• VMware-player - 1.0.1 - 19317.exe got my PC running Windows 7 Enterprise all messed up!

  Hello

  This is my first post and I hope this is the appropriate place for this.

  A few days ago I installed VMware-player - 1.0.1 - 19317.exe on my new OS install for Windows 7 Ultimate and when he ran that he informed me that there is a newer version, so I downloaded it.

  After the installation of the new version, I asked me to uninstall my old version via the control panel. I wnt to run the uninstaller and it blue screened my PC would allow me to unintall it.

  I've tried several programs uninstall, some are free and some that I paid for, and whenever the PC blue screened during the uninstallation of the process and has not completed this process.

  VMware-player - 1.0.1 - 19317.exe disappeared from my PC I can say, however the new drive "VMware-player - 3.1.3 - 324285.exe" still will not install and needs me to complete before uninstalling it will pass.

  Anyone know if there is a special program that will kill 1.0.1.19317 for me?

  Thank you

• 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.

• An easy way to get the IP address of a VMware Player running?

  Hey guys, need some help to get the IP address of a VMware Player running in windows & linux. An easy way? I search on google. I saw someone said how to limit the selection of the IP address, but this isn't what I want. I want to get the IP address of a VMware Player running in windows & linux. Thank you.

  Hi Badboy,

  Welcome to the forums.

  VMware Player has no IP address, but the guest inside the VM systems have not one.

  If your virtual machines based on the internal DHCP server of the player, for example if they are bridge now or NAT network, then on Windows, you should find information useful in the %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\VMware\vmnetdhcp.leases. There is such a file on Linux.

  Good luck.

• How to convert a Machine of VMWare ESXi 4.0 to run on VMWare Player

  Hi Experts

  I am new to VMWare and need help, we are running ESXi 4.0, I installed on our Windows Server (Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition SP2) the following:

  -VMWare vSphere Client 4.0

  -VMWare vSphere Host Update Utility 4.0

  -VMWare vCenter Converter Standalone

  We have currently x-2 VMS Machines on our server ESXi (ISSDBN01 & ISSSAP), ISSAP installing Windows Server 2008R2 Standard Editon and SAP, I now want to convert this Machine VM (ISSAP) so I can play on / via VMWare Player. My steps were as follows:

  -Turning off the machine that needs conversion

  -Make sure that I am on the parameters users & groups

  -Convert the Machine (ISSSAP) using VMWare vCenter Converter Standalone VM

  Once the conversion is complete it converts a 145 GB file (that is stored on an external hard drive and the machine has x 2 100 GB disks = disk C and data disc), I select the .vmx with VMWare Player (version 3.0.1.11056) file that I use on my laptop (running Windows Vista Business SP2, 4 GB of RAM), but it does not seem to boot up It keeps saying "Windows is loading files", I Googled it and came across someone adding the parameters of the resolution of the .vmx file.

  I'm not sure what to do now that I need to convert this machine as soon as possible, as I have to get a copy of this machine and test upgrades (because the server is going to be broken and most of the parts used for our hosted server); can anyone help me on what steps I must take to ensure that I convert it properly so I can play this machine converted by VMWare Player.

  Thank you very much for any help, much appreciated.

  Concerning

  Kurt Walters

  Hello Kurt.

  I just have a question about my machine converted, is there a best practice or a better way to convert a VM Machine.

  It is really not a good practice. The most important part of the conversion is the correct selection of the controller (as you did) and disk size/commissioning type. The other settings depend on what you want to achieve. After conversion, review the settings of the virtual machine to ensure that everything is as it should be for example (guest operating system, controller, network,...)

  You can also download the latest version of VMware Converter 4.3 which is supported for Windows 2008 R2 and Windows 7.

  Thank you very much for your help is was extremely useful and appreciated.

• My attempts to run VMWare player v4 ends by, "VMWare player cannot be installed on this computer.

"See the notes product for hardware and software configurations specific.  VMWare player v4 has been previously on my computer which, for about a month, has not if used causes of unemployed in the city.

The above message appears with a reading of Kael'thas window, it of a FLP file and needs internet to find a site to open it. I downloaded Free File Viewer that gave no results. I'd be happier than a pig in the cool mud to fix this problem. Thank you for any assistance.

  Looks like a BIOS setting may have changed (in terms of virtualization).

  Unlikely a Windows problem.

  Uninstall VMware Player.  Restart the computer.  Download the latest version of VMware Player (save to your computer) and install it.  Restart the computer.  Try to run it.
