Serial communications port unusable - that makes Vmware Player useless for me.

I have installed XP Professional DVD original (inside Windows 7 Home premium), but although XP seems to 'see' the Serial Comm port, the application is not.

This request is Picstart16C old 16-bit software (1994) running in DOS mode (console) that attempts to communicate with a device so Assembly code to program in the internal EEPROM to a microcontroller.

In fact, I tried two different devices and software and none could communicate via the serial port.

The motherboard is the Gigabyte G41M-Combo.

Any ideas?

You try to use COM1 for Serial Port?  If so, the question may be a conflict with ThinPrint (printer under hardware in the settings of the virtual computer) like it by default uses COM1.  If stop you the virtual machine, remove the Serial Port and printer and then add the Serial Port back and set it to COM1 if you need printer host then crosses the prompt add printer after a Serial Port must set the printer to the COM2 port.

  • VMWare Player license for police headquarters

    Community in the morning,

    My question is: am I allowed to use VMWare Player for free in a headquarters of the German police or ist also "commercial use"?

    Thanks for your replies

    Hans

    Hello Hans,.

    It's actually a tough question, because the common phrase "for no commercial use" is rather vague and does not really respond when it's really a commercial use. In the FAQ of player, they use the term: "VMware Player is free for personal use."

    So I would read, if you use in your office on your desktop pc, it is not really a personal use, even you generate profits using.

    I don't know if this is the appropriate contact, but you can try to contact VMware directly and ask them. There is a branch in Germany.

  • Impossible to retrieve the serial number (no invoice number of digital river useless for the adobe customer service) - how can this be resolved

    I bought PS CS5 of adobe business store 3 years ago - the serial number does not show under my account

    Contact customer via chat and they can't help me because the invoice from the adobe site is provided by digital river and they are unable to track the purchase - they need to order number that is not on the invoice

    I don't understand how adobe can not keep a purchase according to the invoice is provided on their own Web site

    The site gave me a hotline number that has a message recorded for products CS saying Adobe does not offer telephone support for products cs - go to site

    A bit frustrating - the reception in Sydney adobe phone number even goes to a messaging speech just as the number of licenses in volume on the invoice

    Anyone at adobe can really help? -even find one at the end of a phone would be a good thing.

  • Evaluation of VMware Player license

    After testing on VMware Player 5, I also tested VMware Workstation 9 in order to get a grip on the differences. When I did uninstalled Workstation and install VMware Player 5 again. I now VMware Player (trial license) at the top of my VMware Player window. This isn't right? What will happen after the expiry of the period 'assessment? I will be able to use VMware Player?  Unstall and reinstall after a workstation installation seem to screw up the terms of the software license.

    Clues?

    VMware Player 5 appears as follows:

    VMware Player
    VMware Player (license expired)
    VMware Player (trial license)
    VMware Player (Non-commercial use only)

    The first 'VMware Player' means that it is authorized for commercial use and a valid serial number has been entered.  The other three should be explicit.

    If you have used VMware Workstation with the 30 day free trial serial number and uninstalled and serial number has not yet expired and install you VMware Player 5 I would expect it to appear as 'VMware Player (trial license)' because the VMware Workstation license key is still in the Windows registry.  It is located at [\VMware Workstation\License.ws.9.0.e1.201202 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\VMware, Inc.] and this withdrawal must make VMware Player 5 display as "VMware Player (Non-commercial use only).  As always make sure that you have proper backups before editing the Windows registry and or at least save the key to the target before deleting.

  • Serial communication - ignore parity error

    I have a question about how LabVIEW opens a serial port for communication. I communicate with a device that uses a protocol owner. It sets and clears the parity bit to indicate the nature of the response. For example, the orders are sent with the parity bit higher while responses are sent with the weak parity bit (unless the answer is at the end of the transmission, in which case the device sets the parity bit high to indicate).

    My problem is the way that LabVIEW opens the serial port for communication. Using Portmon, that I captured the control indicators, that it sends to Windows to configure serial communication:

    IOCTL_SERIAL_SET_LINE_CONTROL   Serial0 SUCCESS StopBits: 1 Parity: MARK WordLength: 8IOCTL_SERIAL_SET_CHAR  Serial0 SUCCESS EOF:0 ERR:0 BRK:0 EVT:0 XON:11 XOFF:13IOCTL_SERIAL_SET_HANDFLOW  Serial0 SUCCESS Shake:1 Replace:44 XonLimit:64 XoffLimit:64
    

    Note the values 'Shake' and 'replace '. In my view, they are originally bytes with parity errors is removed. A separate RS232 Comm Debug tool that I use with success looks like this:

    IOCTL_SERIAL_SET_LINE_CONTROL    Serial0 SUCCESS StopBits: 1 Parity: NONE WordLength: 8IOCTL_SERIAL_SET_CHAR  Serial0 SUCCESS EOF:0 ERR:0 BRK:0 EVT:0 XON:11 XOFF:13IOCTL_SERIAL_SET_HANDFLOW  Serial0 SUCCESS Shake:0 Replace:80000000 XonLimit:128 XoffLimit:128
    

    Notice the difference in values. By using this tool, Windows does not packages with parity errors - that's what I want. Is there any way to change how LabVIEW opens the serial communication port to achieve?

    I tried to change the parity, where the ILO is defined differently, but I think that I am running in a race condition; LabVIEW can not run the code and change the mode of fast enough parity before the next byte of data is sent by the device.

    Ravens fan: the parity bit, in the proprietary protocol, that I use, is not used for parity checking. Basically, the protocol uses a 9-bit serial communication. The parity bit must be paid or compensated according to what byte do (if it is a command, if it is the end of transmission, etc.).

    I found an old post on this page which seems to answer my question (my apologies for not completely research before posting... I learn the right use/search phrases that I find more information). I download the 3.4.1 version of VISA now.

  • VMware Player disables / disrupts Windows "Mouse keys" feature

    Is it true that VMware Player disables (or otherwise disrupts) windows "Mouse keys" feature?

    I have created a new account on the Windows machine, activated the "Mouse keys" function ("Start" > "Control Panel" > "Ease of Access Center" > "Make the mouse easier to use" > "Turn on mouse keys").  I then checked only by pressing the keys on the numeric keypad of my keyboard did indeed move the mouse according to this Microsoft Web page: <http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/use-mouse-keys-to-move-the-mouse-pointer >.

    I then started VMware Player and run a virtual machine in him.  I noticed that the function "Mouse keys" did not move the cursor within the virtual machine.  However, when I moved the mouse outside the window of the player (using the mouse), on the Windows desktop, then quickly press the pad digital is no longer move the cursor of the mouse.  Even after I left the player, the "Mouse keys" feature is lost.  Windows always shows that the option is selected.  (Turning the option off and then back on does not return the function).

    Am I missing something?  How can I retrieve the "Mouse keys" feature or prevent the player that affect it?  (I was testing or not "Mouse keys" would work inside the virtual machine).

    I think I stumbled on the reason for the problem I described.

    I think that, somehow, VMware Player tilt one of the parameters that affect Microsoft "mouse keys".  I noticed that in the ' use mouse keys when NUM LOCK is on / off "is set on 'On' rather than 'Off '.  (The setting is in the window by 'Start' > 'Control Panel' > "Ease of Access Center" > "Make the mouse easier to use" > "Set up mouse keys").  When I went to 'OFF', then keys mouse operated correctly again.  (You can also leave the single setting but tilting the NUM LOCK button also allowed head of the mouse buttons is fine.)

    So, I work the feature keys of mouse.

  • Using VMWare Player on Bootcamp of Win7 to access the Mac OS x partition?

    Greetings,

    I'm new to VMWare, and I Fusion for Mac OSX that accesses my Bootcamp (Win7) partition.

    I recently installed VMWare Workstation 9 for Windows that includes VMWare Player.

    Is there anyway to access my Mac OS x partition from the side Bootcamp as I do when I use Fusion on Mac to access Win7?

    I see the answer go both ways, but I wanted to post on the forum to be sure.

    Thank you!

    VMware does not support the operation of Mac OS X in VMware Player/workstation!  Also, legally virtualisables versions of OS X running in a Virtual Machine cannot be done when done in the Apple brand hardware but when done while running under OS X and for that you have VMware Fusion of VMware Player/Workstation or you violate Apple's SLA for this product.  So any help can you provided for OS X in this use of the scenarios that it would violate the community VMware operating conditions to do.

  • VMware Player 5: license has expired...

    In trial of VMware Fusion 5 Professional, there is also the possibility to insert the serial number of the trial in VMware Player (thus allowing commercial use) this: out of curiosity (I need not commercial use of the reader), I tried this, a month ago...

    The problem is that now VMware Player (nested within a Fusion Windows 7 VM, mainly to the XP operating Mode), in the title bar indicate that the evaluation period has passed; while I would of course prefer that he returned to the original behavior, that is, where it is said that it is only for non-commercial use, in the title bar.

    In the meantime, I also bought Fusion 5 in the normal version, in box (currently, I don't need the pro features).

    Yes, there are some parameters (hidden?) in Windows 7 that can restore the text "for non-commercial use" in title bar (instead of have "expired") Player...?

    In OS X, as far as I know, the license information in "Library/Preferences/VMware Fusion": but in Windows 7... where is he?

    Uninstalling and reinstalling player would fix the problem?

  • VMWare Player startup with the command line command does not work!

    Hello everyone,

    I'm new to the community and it will probably show. So, I say sorry in advance for the flaws, I'll do. Since I am of German native language I need to translate it into English. So, I could use special terms wrong, but I'll certainly try to avoid this. Just keep in mind. And now my question:

    I was running VMware Player 3.0 with VMware Tools installed and VMware VIX 1.8.0 installed on a host of Win7 Ultimate 64-bit. The Useraccount on the host has administrator rights. Guest operating system is WinXP SP3. Since I need two softwares of different recording/Dictation on my workstation and I could only one of them simultaneously open (which is very uncomfortable, when you need to change frequently), because those two were always challenging who got to use the microphone, I installed a second microphone (that only the application for the two contest) and then created a virtual machine to run the software second with one of the two microphones connected only to the prompt. (Directly/comfortably) to start the second software I created a. LNK shortcut file (and attached to the startmenu) who run the command

    Departure of player "C:\Program Files (x 86) \VMware\VMware" t "C:\Users\USERPROFILE\Eigene virtual Computer\Recorder Windows XP Pro Windows XP Pro SP3.vmx VM SP3\Recorder VM.

    with the recorder VM "VM Windows XP Pro SP3" opening the second software automatically (autostart).

    This worked well, until I updated my VMware Player to 3.0.1. Since the update however, my shortcut file simply is unable to start the virtual machine. However, starting the virtual machine of VMWare Player normal window still works. By running the command mentioned above constitute the command line prompt, I got the information, this vmrun.exe could not connect to the host, due to an error, the specified version is not found, which probably means that the VMware Player.

    P:\ & gt; "" Player t C:\Program Files (x 86) \VMware\VMware VIX\vmrun.exe "start"C:\Use ".

    virtual rs\USERPROFILE\Eigene Computer\Recorder VM Windows XP Pro SP3\Record

    ER VM Windows XP Pro SP3.vmx"

    Unable to connect to the host.

    Error: The specified version is not found

    P:\ & gt;

    I tried the VMware VIX update (from 1.8.0 to 1.8.1) without success. The errormessage even remains.

    The three relevant paths for VMware Player, VMware Vix and the VM are spezified in the systemvariable path as follows:

    % SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\; "" C:\Program Files (x 86) \VMware\VMware VIX ". "" C:\Program Files (x 86) \VMware\VMware Player. " "' Virtual C:\Users\USERPROFILE\Eigene computer; C:\Program Files (x 86) \QuickTime\QTSystem\

    Today suddenly wrong?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance to one that solves the Enigma.

  • How do you install Browser v10.0 Appliance in VMware Player?

    Hello

    I need advice/help please,

    I try to install the Browser Appliance v10.0 in VMware Player without success despite trying countless hours over the past five days, this software is certainly not newbie friendly :)

    .

    I can't find the button 'Browse dialog for the configuration of the virtual machine' which is part of the instructions below

    I tried many different ways to try to install it in VMware Player during the last five days, but nothing seems to work, I installed Ubuntu in VMware Player and then tried to find a way to install the device browser in Ubuntu, but nothing works.

    Here are the instructions I received with Browser Appliance v10.0 I downloaded on my pc that are outdated maybe?...

    Browser device, v10.0 - README file

    VMware virtualization
    * Operating system by Scientific Linux (version 6.0)
    * Mozilla browser (Mozilla Firefox 10.0)

    SUMMARY:

    This virtual machine provides a secure and isolated environment
    to browse the Web.

    It can be performed using either VMware Player available for free
    or other vPlatform products fourth-generation VMware.

    He was inspired by the browser 1.0.0 device provided by
    VMware Inc. to http://www.VMware.com/appliances/directory/80

    NOTES:

    This virtual computer includes VMware tools
    (vmware-tools - 8.3.12 - 559003) with Scientific Linux 6.0,.
    kernel 2.6.32 - 220.4.1.el6, updates Linux scientific through
    6 February 2012 and Mozilla Firefox 10.0.

    Power users may wish to consider and adjust several settings in
    the browser configuration file - Appliance.vmx using a text
    Editor in Chief. For security reasons, HGFS has been disabled by default.

    USE OF THE BROWSER:

    You can download the browser appliance from the VMware Web site
    at http://www.VMware.com/appliances/directory/507083 .
    On the same site, you can also download VMware Player, a
    free app of VMware that you can use to run the browser
    Device. For browser installation, just unzip the
    Download the file to your local hard drive.

    To run the browser appliance:
    Launch of VMware Player
    * In the dialog box, browse to the Virtual Machine Configuration
    File, navigate to the directory where you installed the
    Device browser, select File Browser - Appliance.vmx.
    and click Open.
    The browser unit automatically and the
    Supplied with the unit of browser, operating system centOS
    starts. This may take several minutes. Then the Mozilla
    Browser Firefox starts automatically. Enter a URL in the
    location on the ground in the upper part of the browser, then click surGo.,.

    you have the directory that contains the browser - Appliance.vmx and browser - Appliance.vmdk?

    Edit the vmx file and change this line
    virtualHW.version = "4".
    TO
    virtualHW.version = "6".
    8 or 9 if it does not work

    a double-click on this file should do the trick

  • Do I need work station to modify USB devices? You can also VMware Player...

    That's what I would do:

    Install VMware Player on Windows 7 evaluation version

    I have to configure a modem USB (ISDN-telephone line)

    Can I add this USB device to my virtual guest later in VMware Player?

    I feel like the installation of VMware Workstation for just add this USB device installation. I have no experience of using VMware Player. I've always had of VMware Workstation to support me in everything I've done, that's why I ask.

    I can only imagine that maybe VMware Player will limit to deal with the addition of devices/units, but what is the truth?

    Peripheral USB themselves act as plug-and-play.  As long as you have configured the virtual computer to have a USB controller and have installed the drivers (via VMware Tools) in the comments, you can attach any USB device to the guest with workstation, player, server, Fusion, etc..

    Workstation already includes the UI player interface so that you can test your VMS how they will be displayed to users who have installed Player.  There should be a shortcut installed for it.  You can run your VM via player INTERFACE and to answer to your question here, I think.

  • Cannot install VMWare Player, workstation or anything like that

    All appear to be the same way with a message like:

    VMWare.png

    However I've checked that the file exists and that I can access. What is the problem?

    I had VMWare Player 6.0.5 and could not install/update VMWare tools. So, I suspended my operating system prompted and rebooted VMPlayer. He told me that there is a new VMWare Workstation something 10.x and I wanted to upgrade to it. Okay, of course. Downloaded the update and tried to install. Said to uninstall VMWare Player 6.0.5. Being suspicious, I went and downloaded VMWPlayer 6.0.5 where he screwed up the installation of Workstation 10.0. Of course, he did. So I tried to install Player 6.0.5 so I could return to my suspended VM. In my opinion, what he said that I could not install because I haven't restarted. So I rebooted. Now, I can't install Player 6.0.5 or Workstation 10.0.0 or whatever it is. They all fail on the same way saying the cannot find a .msi file I can find and access.

    Help!

    BTW, you guys have far too much product and names making it confusing. What should I use? Player? Workstation? Spear? vCenter, Fusion. The list goes on and. Do not try to give me the list of "well it's for this reason and this other thing". The point is there are too many products and it is too complicated. If you want to tell me what the structure of the product is just limit it to the product I should use. I have a Windows 7 box and you want to run Ubuntu in a VM desktop - that's all...

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Please note that this is a forum for peer support and therefore, it is mainly users of VMware help other VMware users who make up the bulk of this forum. It is VMware employees responding in time in time, but in your case here (Note: VMware employees are recognizable because they have a small 'vm' next to their name logo)

    With regard to your current number. If you install VMware Workstation, then you have also installed VMware Player next.

    Even after the expiry of VMware Workstation, you can continue to use the free VMware Player.

    Hope this helps,

  • Can I make a partition D on VMWare Player?

    Hey all.

    I am new to the community and VMware.

    I use a non-commercial (free) version of VMware Player. I do a few laboratories of practice using Microsoft Servers. Some of the steps in my hands-on labs require a formatting drive D.

    My problem is, when I create the Machines, disk space is allocated on the C drive. There is no option to partition and create logical drives.

    The ""Options " are included in the"parameters "Manager allows adding additional HDs.» But not for the default partitioning, 40GB HD.

    I need to be able to run these commands... ["ntdsutil > activate ATN example > ifm > create sysvol full d:\ifm '] in order to complete the laboratory as well as additional measures that depend on the completion of this exercise. The command fails, because VMware Player always default to a huge drive C.

    Does anyone know of a work around this in VMware Player?

    Thank you

    Try to add a new disk in VMware Player editing options and then format the drive in Windows.

    Your virtual machine must be stopped before you add the disk.
