Virtual machines does not start - no error, no tab opens

Hi all, I have problems with VM Workstation 6.5 on Windows 7 64-bit.

My VMs have worked in the past.  Now, for some reason when I try to open a virtual machine, that nothing is happening.   No error, no tab opens.  only thing I noticed, is that a .lck file is created in the folder of the virtual machine.

So basically I have open VM Workstation, go to file-> open (or simply click the icon open Existin VM) and try to open any of my VMs 5 1 and nothing happens.

I tried to uninstall, reinstall, repair several times and nothing has worked yet.

any ideas?

Thanks in advance

likely reasons:

misconfigured firewall Antivirus or desktop

Please also check if a process named webcam.exe or fixcamera.exe is in course of execution - if yes - disable

on the update... IMHO, there is no reason pressing up-to-date 7.1 - 6.5.4 is good enough

  • Virtual machine does not start the Server Windows 2003 Std ISO file?

    Hello

    I am trying to create a virtual Windows 2003 machine, I created the ISO file, downloaded on my ISO library and connected the CDROM drive for the ISO file.

    When I boot the maching, I select the start menu and select the CDROM drive the virtual machine starts the ISO?

    The continuous boot just on the network card boot.

    It's as if the virtual machine does not see the CDROM drive?

    I use folder2iso

    To me, it sounds as if the ISO created may not be bootable! How did you create the ISO file?

  • Virtual machine does not start after restoring from Time Machine to the new Imac

    I got my IMac replaced by Apple, after that they could not fix the old one.  They did a full restore from a Time Machine backup.  The virtual machine does not open now.   When I navigate to the file to try to open the virtual machine at the VMware logo in the bottom right of the icon displayed with large yellow exclamation appears on the icon?  Anyone encountered this problem before.  I'll take the Imac in Saturday if I can not solve.  The machine has the same size as before.  There are a few aspects of sharing with the Mac application miss me?

    According to the MacVirt.vmdk folder, you have the right number of segments of shared disk so you should be able to create a new VM by pointing to the disc in the new VM Wizard by pointing to the MacVirt.vmdk file.

    Note: After you create the new Virtual Machine, I would not suggest the Virtual Machine to stop, pause and close merge and then move all *.vmdk files in the package of the virtual machine, and then manually change the computer configuration files virtual .vmx and change the path to a little to view the MacVirt.vmdk file.  In this way, everything is in one package and is easier to maintain.

  • Help please... Replaced the hard drive of MBP, restored from TM, but the Windows XP virtual machine does not start

    I replaced the 250 GB hard drive in my MacBook Pro early 2009 with a 500 GB drive, it the Mac OS extended (journaled) format and restored from my Time Machine backup.

    Now when I try to start my Windows XP virtual machine (using Fusion 2.0.6... planning upgrade to 3.1.2 but wanted to validate all was well first), I get BSOD, even in safe mode.

    I have my vm separately saved on a network drive data files based on things that I had read before, I do not think that TM backup of virtual machines. However, a friend with a similar setup with more knowledge I think because I could see my Windows XP vm VMWare listed under 'Documents' in Time Machine showing its full size, it has actually saved and there restore it. Apparently he has done this successfully before.

    Should I have partitioned the hard drive? I don't think that my previous drive has been partitioned. Don't know what to do now.

    TIA!

    Katie

    To be clear: you have restored VMs from the disk or network time Machine?  And if the network drive, what backup method you use?  (i.e.: have you just copied engine off the computer virtual package or not?)  Can you copy/restore the virtual machine to the network again drive?  What is a virtual machine that has the error, or other virtual machines have problems?

    Time Machine backup correctly a virtual power off machine. But since Time Machine works automatically, you often will get not a consistent backup unless you do some tricks to make sure Time Machine backup only when you use a virtual machine.  (i.e.: turn on Time Machine only when you're done with the virtual machine.)  Thus, it is normally recommended to exclude the virtual machines from Time Machine and use another method to back up virtual machines.  Your friend is lucky or is only backup virtual machines powered off.

    Should I have partitioned the hard drive? I don't think that my previous drive has been partitioned. Don't know what to do now.

    The Mac player Paritioning is unnecessary unless you use Boot Camp or have required another for the partition.

  • Virtual machine does not start and...

    Dear vmware forums community,

    I have a problem, I use VMware Workstation 7.0.0 build-203739

    However, I have some problems using it.

    First of all, VMware does not allow me to start one of my Virtual Machines, when I click on 'Open' Options tab still does not open.

    Secondly, I can't install Virtual Machines since yesterday. These two problems came today when I turned on my host PC.

    I tried to do the two things by using VMplayer, it does the same thing as VMware Workstation.

    I also tried to uninstall VMware and install again and also I tried to delete the .lck files and it does not work.

    Yesterday, when it was all working well, I turned off the virtual machines by the following method, ' turn off this machine "or something like that (I clicked on the cross in the name of the machine)

    I would really appreciate if someone could help me.

    In this case - even if you have already uninstalled/installed VMware Workstation - I would recommend that do you it again. This time, clean install and reboot the system before you re-install. How to clean and a script, see http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1308

  • Windows XP mode virtual machine does not start after the upgrade to Windows 10

    Hello

    After the upgrade to Windows 7 Pro for Windows 10 Pro, my virtual Windows XP machine (which was created from the "XP" mode in Windows 7) no longer starts.

    It shows:

    This system is not allowed to run "Windows XP Mode". Now, the virtual machine will be turned off.

    How can I activate the Windows XP Mode in Windows 10 Pro? I mean, I have not lost my right to run Windows XP Mode, just because I've upgraded to Windows 10, right?

    VMware Workstation 12.1

    Hello

    How can I activate the Windows XP Mode in Windows 10 Pro? I mean, I have not lost my right to run Windows XP Mode, just because I've upgraded to Windows 10, right?

    I fear that the statement is pretty much on the mark.

    Microsoft caught only supported XP Mode in Windows 7, it has been since Windows 8.

    See also:

    https://support.Microsoft.com/en-us/KB/2724115

    You might be able to extract the folder integer vhd it and import it in VMware Workstation as a separate virtual machine. In the end, 'XP Mode' just was running a virtual machine in your Windows 7 after all.

  • Virtual machine does not start after completing a physical machine coversion

    I used VMWare Converter 5.5.3 to create a virtual machine from an existing, Windows Pro 8.1 laptop from work.  The conversion process has indicated no error.  When I try to start the virtual machine on a different host, however, he died almost immediately.  I'm using VMWare Workstation 9.0.4, my host OS is Windows 7 Pro (64 bit) and the guest operating system is Windows Pro 8.1 (64-bit).

    When it comes on, I see 'VMware' logo instead of loading and after a few seconds, the computer virtual turns off with no visible error message.  I tried to run the virtual machine on multiple machines, and both have the same results.  Host machines running all other virtual machines I tried without problem.

    I tried to change some of the parameters of the virtual machine via the GUI, but nothing seems to affect behavior.  I ran the other VMs Pro 8.1 of Windows on this computer before host, it's just this particular virtual machine.

    I attached the zip file management tool of data collection to support, as well as the vmware.log file.

    Can someone point me in the right direction of a cause or a resolution to this problem?  Thank you in advance.

    I was able to do some additional research after I posted and found the relevant error in the log:

    I found this vmware KB article that describes the problem:

    http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalID=2041591

    Once I set the VM to use USB 2.0 (instead of 3.0), it starts as expected.

    I click on Firefox it does not start

    It is possible that your security (firewall, antivirus) software blocks or limit Firefox or the process of plugin-container without you inform, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.

    Delete all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container in the permissions list in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission to get full unlimited access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.

  • Virtual machine does not respond on esxi 5.0 using Vsphere 5 customer

    One of my virtual machine does not respond when I am trying to connect through the console on my vsphere client. I use esxi 5.0.

    The thing is that I have several virtual machine works very well and I do not understand why it doesn't work anymore.

    When I try to restart the vSphere client, nothing happen or when I try to stop it.

    Does anyone have an idea of what I need to do?

    Welcome to this community!

    in some special cases the virtual machines enter State does not. In this case, we have to kill the VM process to bring the virtual machine online.

    the following KB explains different methods to do the same thing.

    http://KB.VMware.com/kb/1014165

    Follow the steps under "using the ESXi 5.0 esxcli command to turn off a virtual machine.

    I would recommend contact VMware support, given that the steps above are a little off destructive.

  • With instant full VM LUN and now the virtual machine will not start or register

    Hello

    I have a case here, where we have a virtual machine that quickly filled the logic unit number and the snapshot is currently 110 GB.

    The problem (according to the newspaper) is AXAPTA_1-000001 - delta.vmdk no AXAPTA_1-000002 - delta.vmdk (the error on the second snapshot is probably because of the broken parent snapshot).

    The descriptors are ok, which means that the VMDK itself is broken.

    If you do not have a backup, you can try the following:

    -Copy the files in another data store

    -change the second snapshot descriptor to point to the basedisk as the parent

    -Try and mount the drive

    -If you're lucky, you should be able to recover at least some data of

    -If the disklib is complaining again then the two snapshots are broken - which is unlikely

    Depending on how old the second snapshot (the older one is better it is) the method above will not help.
