Virtual machines will not open

• Convert physical PC-> virtual machine will not cancel the mouse capture

  Currently using VMWare workstation 8.05 on Win7 x 64.

  I am using since VMware workstation on version 6 with a few problems. All my machines have been created in workstation (installation of the OS, etc.).

  A few months ago, I had an another XP x 32 box which had a POWER failure, and I always wanted to virtualize this area anyway, so I hooked up a spare PSU and stand-alone client to vCenter Converter to convert. Unlike all my other VMs, that seamless capture and cancel the capture of the mouse, this virtual machine will come out only the mouse using Ctrl-Alt, otherwise the mouse stops at the border of the screen.

  I messed with the settings of the virtual machine (although nothing has really made a difference). I have set the floppy drive to automatically detect, I installed VMWare keyboard extended (or whatever it's called) and uninstalled the mouse drivers that were on the machine (did not find records containing these drivers, just them uninstalled from properies of mouse window).

  I would really, really like to get this virtual machine works like the others, as I use it often and my productivity would go up if I didn't have to do deal with this mouse cancel the capture of question.

  Thanks for any help!

  Since the Department of totally random ideas: your converted VM by chance he mouse "pointer trails" enabled?  If so, try disabling this option.  We had some users report that the activation of this option somehow the cause of the problem you are experiencing.  Thanks to rob_oli to describe this solution (and providing a screenshot too) in this post.

  See you soon,.

• Impossible to run virtual machines (could not open/dev/vmmon)

  Currently, I can't open one of my virtual machines. I get a dialog box appear saying "couldn't open/dev/vmmon: no such file or directory".

  I'm 10.11.4, on a current model Mac Pro under VMWare Fusion 8.1.0 on OS X.

  Can any ideas on how I fix?

  Hello

  First thing I would try is a reboot, but given the error, I would not hold my breath on this binding.

  The error messages seem to suggest that some drivers are corrupted. The only way to solve, which is by uninstalling VMware Fusion 8, restart OS X (ensuring that no driver remains persistent), then install VMware Fusion 8 again.

  Note, that this will not delete your virtual machines (with additional backups is always a good thing if)

• 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. It is now available on the new LUN space, but the VM does not start and he was also addressed as 'unknown' in the viclient. I tried to cancel the registration and check-in again, but he refuses to register. It seems that the snapshot is damaged.

  When you try to save it, I get the following in hostd.log:

  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.

• Virtual machines will not work after missing 6.5 upgrade, / dev/vmmon

  I recently updated my build-126130 VMware Desktop 6.0.5 to 6.5.1 and now none of my virtual machines are running.  When I try to start them, I get the following error:

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

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

  When I looked in the directory/dev, there is no listed vmmon device.

  From everything I've read, upgrade worked very well.  The application starts without any apparent problems.  I suspect since all my virtual machines worked really well until I restarted the laptop, there is a problem loading the kernel module.

  I'm under openSUSE 11.0.

  I liked all the ideas that everyone has.

  Kind regards

  Jim

  Hello

  It is sometimes a problem with the new GUI to create modules from the kernel, which is most likely what you're hitting right now.

  Have a look here:

  http://www.VI-Toolkit.com/wiki/index.php/Build_host_vmware_kernel_modules

  This might help a little, the notes are not yet specific SUSE. If the script Christmas help and you had to do something different on SUSE then I would appreciate it if you add a note to this topic.

  Thank you

• a virtual machine will not start up an iso image

  Hi all

  I have a virtual machine that does not start, just, an iso image. It's a W2K8R264bit vm, the cd/dvd device is mapped to an iso image and connect to the power on the value. The BIOS of the virtual machine has been adjusted so that the parity of cd/dvd is the first in the boot order. The the .vmx contenty seems well, but the virtual machine boot dsik every time. I don't get even invites him to press any key to boot from the cd/dvd.

  Nothing wrong with iso as the other virtual machines can boot from it very well. The vm problem start not at all of any iso.

  Any suggestions?

  Thank you

  John Balsillie

  ATA ports are enabled in the BIOS of the virtual computer?

  You can also try to select the boot device when starting the virtual computer, go to the customer using vSphere virtual machine Boot options, add delay to start and press ESC on the BIOS screen that give you start command prompt.

• 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.

• Files saved to merge "Shared folder ' between host Mac OS and virtual Mac OS not opening not.»

  Hello

  If I save a file in the folder "Shared" my host Mac OS machine merging, I can open it only on my host machine, but not inside my virtual machine to Mac OS.  In addition, it shows the incorrect file type in the virtual machine (just 'Document') not the actual file type.

  The reverse is also true, if I record a 'Shared' file of Fusion of in my virtual machine, I can open it only on my virtual machine, but not inside the host machine.  Again, it shows the incorrect file type in the real (just "Document") not the file type host machine.

  The files must be for the most part very well, because they will open in their own environment of the shared folder, but the Mac OS in the Middle against a reason any won't open them.  Suggestions?

  Thank you

  Solved...  I just need to add 3-digit extensions of file names (for example, .jpg, .psd, etc.) that normally may not be needed in your own environment, but apparently are required when files are in a shared folder.

• Updated FireFox, restarted and now it will not open the browser, even if the icon does not appear in my taskbar. Was fine until the update last night. Win8.1 running

  When I move the mouse over the icon in the taskbar that appears after that I have I dbl-clicked on the icon on the desktop, you can see a miniature version of the browser open as usual, unfortunately, the browser will not open upward on the desktop. I've deleted and reinstalled several times. It has worked very well until I did the update last night.

  Machine features:
  8.1 to win
  16 GB of RAM
  3 video concerts
  Processor AMD FX-6200 6 3.80 Ghz
  64 bit

  Sometimes, a window is "off the screen" somehow. Often, you can force it to appear on the screen by right clicking on the thumbnail image just above the taskbar and choose expand. Does it work?

  A possible cause for this is that the file that stores the positions and sizes of window is corrupt.

  #1 method: If you can get a zoomed window:

  Open the settings folder (AKA Firefox profile) current Firefox help

  • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
  • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
  • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

  In the first table of the page, click on the view file"" button. This should launch a new window that lists the various files and folders in Windows Explorer.

  Leave this window open, switch back to Firefox and output, either:

  • "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
  • (menu bar) File > Exit

  Pause while Firefox finishing its cleanup, then rename xulstore.json to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename this to localstore.old.

  Launch Firefox back up again. Windows normally appear again?

  #2 method: If you can not get a Firefox window for all:

  Close Firefox by right clicking the icon in the taskbar > close all windows.

  Using the Run dialog box (windows key + R) or the search for the start bar menu (or perhaps 8.x for Windows search of charms bar bar?) type or paste the following and press ENTER to drill down to the profiles folder:

  %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
  

  Here you can see a folder - in this case, double-click that - or more than one case - in this case, double-click on in what looks like the most recently updated.

  Scroll down and rename xulstore.json to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename this to localstore.old.

  Launch Firefox back up again. Windows normally appear again?

• I don't know what to do about Java - my Mac is horribly slow, and I was advised to remove Java. But now it will not open Photoshop without Java.

  I don't know what to do about Java - my Mac is horribly slow, and I was advised to remove Java, it installs adware. The more I studied, the more information, I've seen say that most of the Web sites and software do not use Java on Mac more. So I deleted everything related with Java. But now it will not open Photoshop without Java. It will be safe if I get it directly from the Oracle site?

  You can download the installer for OS X directly from Oracle. Be sure to uncheck everything installs 'optional' which can appear at the beginning (I think on Windows it wants to install McAfee trial or the toolbar Bing - not really malware, more as desired and useless crud-ware).  I have a course Java JRE install on my MacBook Pro retina like some internal tools we have developed to work are currently java and I use a tool of u. Toronto called CytoScape is Java.  Sites Web will use Java Script, a very different beast and does not require a full Java or JRE install.  But with Java/JRE installed, just be sure of the source of any software that you download and install that is java based (as you should with all the software that you put on your machine).

  In addition, for PhotoShop, it says that you need the legacy Java 6 for OS X?  If so, then don't waste your time on the current version, just install that release 6 legacy.

• Photos will not open the iPhoto library.

  Hello world.

  I try to open an existing iPhoto library that I register before I migrated to this new Mac Pro desktop, but the new Photos app it will not open. It gives me an error message and then I see a blank screen of Photos.

  How can I convert this iPhotos Photos library and why is - it doesn't happen automatically?

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  It gives me an error message and then I see a blank screen of Photos.

  What is the error message?  And where is your old iPhoto Library stored?

  If you try to open the library on an external drive, make sure that the drive is compatible.  The player must be in Mac OS extended (journaled) format and should not be used by Time Machine.

• PC will not open in Mode safe

  My moms ADVENT PC has stopped working and will not open in safe mode. If I try to open it in normal mode it gets stuck in a loop of trying to open and then automatically close down and then try to open it again.

  I have checked for viruses, it has been reduced to a restore point, tried to uninstall the virus check tool and install a new one and then later retrieve the machine back to factory settings and wipe all data on this subject and nothing worked. Recovery and wipe the machine this means loading OK, but as soon as I tried to access the internet, he crashed and then got stuck in the loop once again to try to open and close then.

  Anyone have any ideas? Is it a hardware problem, that I have to throw the PC?

I thought about a system restore would allow me to go back in time to just before when the error occurred, but he basically took my computer back to factory settings, so all the programs that I installed and paid hundreds of dollars for the past six years has disappeared, Microsoft Office and very expensive construction estimating software that we wil have to pay once AGAIN for If I can't get this program working properly.

  I am a fool! I can't believe what's happening.

  Someone at - it instructions on how I can retrieve either the programs and data that I need specifically or how to go and seek shade from the files I read online on and restore my computer for about 12 hours ago?

  Thank you all!

  Looks like you did a system rather than a system restore recovery.  If you have inserted a disc supplied with your machine and booted from it, you probably erased the disc and installed the original operating system provided with your computer.  Usually, a step in this recovery is to do a full format or quick of your drive.  If you did a full format, your data is permanently lost.  With a quick format, your data may still be there, somewhere but inaccessible by normal means.  Applications must generally be installed, in order to recover the files probably will not help unless you have the original installation media.  Your other data files (images, videos, financial data) may be salvageable, but at this point, it would be advisable to take your computer or your disk to a business/professional who is experienced with data disc recovery.  It will be cheap and there is no guarantee.

  Impatient, remember investigate you a backup strategy for your computer and critical data.  Hard drives can go wrong with little or no warning.
