VMware Player 5 can not install on Win XP feedback tools

I have VMware player 5.0.0 build-812388 running on Ubuntu 11.10 (core 3.0.0 - 26-generic). I use it to run a Windows XP Professional SP3 client.

I used to have the VMware tools installed on this prompt, but after a recent update (I don't know which), I noticed that I was getting warning dialog boxes on my graphical configuration. I uninstalled VMware tools (via Add/Remove Programs) and reinstalled (via the player's Virtual Machine > install VMware Tools...), but it does not appear to be installed. There is no VMware Tools applet in the control panel and no icon in the status bar. I have tried different combinations of uninstall, reboot, reinstall, repair, etc., but he is still missing.

How can I properly install VMware Tools in the virtual machine again?

VMware has removed the applet of the control panel and system Notification in VMware Player 5 and VMware Workstation 9 icon so that you see is normal and expected.  Some features of VMware Tools are available in the configurations of the Virtual Machine on the host side.

How can I properly install VMware Tools in the virtual machine again?

If you have already uninstalled/reinstalled you don't need to do anything.  If you can drag and drop files between the computers in office then VMware Tools are installed and working.  Also if the unit and the VMware shared folders work (for supported operating systems) once again here are the signs that VMware Tools are installed and working.

  • Re: Satellite P300D-20U - I can not install display driver for Win XP

    Hi all!

    I bought the laptop P300D-20U, I installed windows XP on it.
    But now I can not install the driver to display on it.

    I downloaded from this site (it's the only display driver for this laptop).
    When I install and restart, Catalyst Control Center to write me that it do not display driver support and don't launch.
    Windows loads in resolution 640 x 480 and 4-bit color.

    When I'm changing resolution or color apears black screen and nothing happens, in 20 sec it cancels.
    I tried different drivers from ati.com but nothing works :(

    SRY for my English but I hope that you will help me guys, ty

    Hello

    Satellite P300D-20U belongs to the PSPDCE series and I think that it was equipped with the chip graphics ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470 (M82XT).

    Did you choose this series in the form of European driver of Toshiba?

    I see the Display Driver for Win XP v 8.477.

    If you can not install using the setup.exe, then you should try to install this driver in Device Manager.
    Mark (possibly marked with yellow exclamation) graphics card then choose put up-to-date driver, use the Advanced installation procedure, point to the driver files downloaded from the Toshiba page and apply.

    It should work

  • Can not install ESX4.0 (free trial)

    ESX4.0 (free trial) can not install on Intel PC motherboard

    This PC (host A) is a box, that we used to install ESX 3.5.  Motherboard is Intel D975XBX2 and Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.40 GHzCPU.  I updated the BIOS to the last, and his memory is 8G.  ESX 3.5 can work on it very well.

    I have download the ESX - 4.0.0 - update01 - 208167.iso and burn it to a bootable DVD.  I checked the MD5 and that's okay.  I have a VMware Workstation 7 in another PC, and I can install ESX 4.0 in a virtual machine in VMware Workstation 7 with this DVD.

    But when I try to install ESX4.0 (with this DVD) on the host, the installation stops at 26% Complete - installation of Packages

    Any suggestions?  Thank you very much

    What is the optical drive that you use to install with? Just for grins, double check that it is a dvd - rom (at least). I had problems installing on old one hardware because it is only to have a cd player (no dvd read ability). It would be to start it from the media, but fails when installing (not sure how it could, but it does)...

    As ESXi 4 is installed, you could just opt for this version. You can get the console (on the host) enabled through the directions here (including SSH access)... I did on my ESXi host and then just use putty to open a connection with it for the execution of orders. The main site (http://vm-help.com/index.html) has some good additional information on this topic... Interesting to watch if nothing else.

    You can also use the vMA, install the PowerCLI software and even the vSphereCLI if you want...

  • Can not install any version of Xp because blue screens

    Hello

    I recently got a Compaq Mini 110 c - 1050SF my sister.

    (She recently bought for me while visiting the France. The first problem is that the laptop will not stop (after pressing Shut Down, it stops and after 3 seconds, it restarts and connects to Windows. She not noticed this and now I can't return it because I'm not in France, and she left already. The 'solution' is to keep button about 5 seconds of the laptop ON the button in order to stay shutted down.))

    In any case, my main problem is that I can not install the XP or 7.

    (Any version of Windows XP, I tried end up with a blue screen after the Licend agreement arise, and any version of Windows 7, I tried popping guard this: "A required CD/DVD device driver is missing.) (If you have a disk driver, CD, DVD, or USB flash device, please insert now' but my laptop doesn't have a CD/DVD player, and I do not have this driver.)

    Can someone help me install XP or 7 (7 would be great, but I will be happy with Xp too).

    Thank you very much!

    Found the solution (my found friend):

    -created a bootable with Lili software Ubuntu

    -initialized and chosed try Ubuntu.

    -in the Terminal, I opened gpart (a partition Manager) and formatting drive HARD whole, created 2 partitions NTFS

    -with Novicorp WintoFlash, I created a bootable USB and Windows 7 installation was flawless.

    Cartridge issues are normally resolved by changing the cartridge.  It is usually not much anyone can do to fix one defective, other than frequent cleaning, cartridge until ink is exhausted.  It is often a lot of annoying for most people to bear.

    If you have isolated him down to a problem with the drum or cartridge that my suggestion is to replace it with another cartridge first and consider other options for cleaning and maintenance after.  If the Exchange with a new cartridge solved the problem, you can pursue the options of guarantee/return/refund from the supplier you bought the cartridge under whatever policy they have for defective cartridges.
