• How can I make sure that there are no other programs running when I try to install another program?

  I keep trying to install a program, and it will not be installed.  It is said that there are other programs that run in the background.

  The best way to see what's running is press ctrl + alt + delete at the same time and open the Task Manager. Then under the applications tabs, it will show you all the programs that are running. You can click and close the program from here. If it is empty, then the problem is most likely a program process that is running. On the tabs in process, you can find the process that is running and the origin of the problem. You can click on the program here and so close. I hope this helps. If this isn't the case, you could let us know what kind of program you want to install.

• "Could not open/dev/vmmon: no such file or directory." Please make sure that the "vmmon" kernel module is loaded. »

  I installed vmware Player on a linux Open Suse (32-bit), the supplied file .bundle machine. It worked very well, and I could load my file of virtual machine very well. Then, my machine had a random failure. When it restarts, I could no longer use my virtual machine, always get the error:

  "Could not open/dev/vmmon: no such file or directory."

  Please make sure that the "vmmon" kernel module is loaded. »

  I look in / dev, and of course, there is no vmmon. I see a lot of archived messages stating that you must run the script ' vmware - config.pl '... (more specifically the following link: ) http://blog.solutionperspectivemedia.co.UK/?p=6 )

  but I do not have it. It seems that maybe it was a part of the installation (no-bundle) more old?

  What should I do? Is this a known problem, as indicated in this Web site? Or random failure caused something? I'm quite confused.

  Have you tried to uninstall as root? Otherwise I think it won't work.

  With respect to your original problem, I got it, too, and that's what I did:

  sudo mv/usr/lib/vmware/modules/binary /usr/lib/vmware/modules/binary.old

  vmware-modconfig--console--install-all--appname sudo = 'VMware Player' - icon = 'vmware-player '.

  Hi Anthany,

  If you have a hardware device that does not properly with your computer, you probably need a driver updated. There are three ways to update a driver:

  • Use Windows Update. You will have to perhaps set Windows Update automatically download and install recommended updates.

  • Install the software from the manufacturer of the device. For example, if your device is equipped with a disk, this disk can contain software that installs a driver for the device.

  • Download and update the driver yourself. Use this method to install a driver that you download from the manufacturer's website. If Windows Update can't find a driver for your device and the device didn't come with software that installs a driver.

  Step 1: Download and install the latest version of DirectX.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/179113

  Step 2: Download and install the latest graphics driver and see if it works.

  Update a hardware driver that is not working properly(Windows 7)

  Good day!

  Answer please if you face concerns.
