• HP Envy 15-q: I have to disable my Windows product key before moving on to the SSD? (New beginning)

  Was thinking of switching 5400 RPM for the SSD because I feel its too slow way. I was wondering if I need to disable my Windows 10 key before making a new start?

  Hello;

  Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

  I read your post on your question of activation of Win10 and wanted to help.

  In Win10, the product key is stored in the motherboard UEFI firmware.  Because you're not change that, you risk to disable.

  In addition, the activation key is stored on servers for Activation of MS, and that information are NOT linked to the HARD or SDD drive you are using.  I can say this because once I got Win10 works as I wanted, I migrated there a disk HARD of a DDI and nothing has changed - except the performance is much improved!

  Good luck

• VMware player installs on windows 8?

  Hello, so I try to install VMware player on my windows machine 8. It offers full administrator access, but whenever I run the Setup it says MSI does not and gives me the log file. I have tried a lot of different things, such as the removal of temporary files, change the directory for temporary files, etc.. Nothing seems to work. Can someone give me an idea of why it's a failure and how to fix it?

  The newspaper showed a 1603 error so take a look to: VMware has produced fails to install with error 1603 (1009167)

  However, if by chance you have Avast AntiVirus or Internet Security installed, you may need to uninstall to get VMware Player/Workstation to install.

• VMware Player 6

  I apologize for the very basic question, but I was unable to locate the answer myself.

  Given that VMware Player is used for free for personal use, what are the differences between VMware Player 5 and VMware Player 6?

  What new features are introduced?

  There's the OS or feature not supported older?

• A license for VMWare Player?

  I saw the deal for VMWare Fusion for Mac includes a commercial license for VMWare player, so I was wondering, if I buy VMWare Fusion can I use the VMWare Player on my Windows machine license or is there a better way for me to get a commercial version of VMWare player without having to actually buy VMWare Workstation?

  lzrelak wrote: I saw the deal for VMWare Fusion for Mac includes a commercial license for VMWare player

  No, VMware Fusion for Mac does not include a license for VMware Player it's VMware Fusion 5 Professional, which includes the license for VMware Player for commercial use.

  so I was wondering, if I buy VMWare Fusion can I use the VMWare Player license on my Windows machine

  With VMware Fusion 5 professional, Yes

  is there a better way for me to get a commercial version of VMWare player without having to actually buy VMWare Workstation?

  To use VMware Player commercially, buy VMware Fusion 5 license Professional even one chooses or can even use VMware Fusion 5 Professional.  It comes through a convoluted cross-license that VMware has not done a very poor job of marketing and or explain and caused a lot of confusion among some users trying to interpret.

• VMWare Player wireless adapter question

  I'm relatively new to VMWare Player and have a network problem.  I am running VMWare player with a Windows 7 host and the VM v4.04.

  I use the VPN virtual machine and try to set up the virtual machine with the IP host wireless.

  
  The virtual computer network is set to Bridged w/Replicate and detects the card physical network, State and IP without problem, however, it does not detect the adapter wireless at all.  It is not in the virtual computer Device Manager, the period of INVESTIGATION, nor the State...

  What would be the right course of action?

  Thank you for your time.

  BTW VMware Player 3.x and later to not install the virtual network Editor by default and you will need to install it manually...

  To install the missing virtual network Editor, the command prompt:

  VMware-player-*.exe -e c:\vmptmp
  

  Then in the c:\vmptmp folder find the file c:\vmptmp\network.cab and extract (double-click on the .cab file) vmnetcfg.exe (virtual network editor) file in the working directory of VMware Player usually 'C:\Program VMware Player' or ' C:\Program Files (x 86) \VMware\VMware Player.  You can create a shortcut and place it with the shortcut of VMware Player, if you want to access it more easily.  Note: there are some for all the files to be extracted to then access the network.cab file.

• VMWare Player will run Mac OS x 7?

  Hello, my question is if I install VMWare Player on my Windows 7 computer, I'll be able to run Mac OS x 7?

  Thank you

  It is a violation of Apple licensing to run their OS on non Apple hardware.  And there are even limits on which versions and flavors that can be run as a virtual machine.  We cannot help you here, or VMware could get in legal trouble with Apple.

• Why my VM's missing when you upgrade again VMware Player?

  I got a set up virtual computer (version 4.0.0 - 471780 VMware Player) on my Windows 7 computer.

  When finally, I tried to start, I got a notice that "new version available" (4.0.1).

  I downloaded and ran the installation process. He said that I needed to uninstall the previous version before it would install. I guess VMware (the company) would be so stupid as to induce someone to download a new version which destroys all the work they have already done, but at this point, this seems to be what happened.

  Assuming that it would be anything but keep uninstall my virtual machines intact, I clicked on continue.

  After some time, he said the computer needed to be restarted. After reboot, I can not find any installation of VMware, old or new. The installation process does not continue after a reboot.

  I looked into C:/Program Files (x 86) / VMware/VMware Player / and it seems to be completely empty (I don't check for hidden files, but I think that they are the least of my worries).

  So, VMware actually invite me to remove my existing virtual machines? It actually interrupted my use of VMware me say there was an 'upgrade' which was in fact is similar to a virus that erases the work weeks/months? Or are these virtual machines safely hidden away somewhere, in a safe house where my evil hands can't reach and corrupt?

  Please, tell me where they are. I promise you that I won't let them hurt.

  Sometimes happens - not serious at all

  first find the file VMware-player - 4.0.1 - 528992.exe

  If you do not have the file open a cmd as admin and type

  dir /s c:\VMware-player-4.0.1-528992.exe

  that should show you the path to the file you - once you've found it - doubleclick it

  When the installation is done your virtual machines should reappear.

  If this isn't the case - and you don't have any virtual machines listed in the VMplayer window
  Search your system for vmx-file and double-click them

  and keep in mind that VMS are associated with VMplayer
  as jpg or bmp-file MSpaint - MPG and VMs are just an application documents.

• An easy way to get the IP address of a VMware Player running?

  Hey guys, need some help to get the IP address of a VMware Player running in windows & linux. An easy way? I search on google. I saw someone said how to limit the selection of the IP address, but this isn't what I want. I want to get the IP address of a VMware Player running in windows & linux. Thank you.

  Hi Badboy,

  Welcome to the forums.

  VMware Player has no IP address, but the guest inside the VM systems have not one.

  If your virtual machines based on the internal DHCP server of the player, for example if they are bridge now or NAT network, then on Windows, you should find information useful in the %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\VMware\vmnetdhcp.leases. There is such a file on Linux.

  Good luck.

• Win 7 64 bit VMware Player install help...

  This could be a very simple solution, but I'm pretty green and would really appreciaite any help...

  The file I'm trying to install is;

  VMware-player - 3.1.2 - 301548 (1) .exe

  I get the same error;

  Online: 870

  Char: 7

  Error: Expected ')'

  Code: 0

  URL: C:/Users/myname/AppData/Local/Temp/vmware_1300063908/index.htm...

  If I choose to all scripts running on the page setup dies and leaves an empty window empty.

  and if I say no the same thing happens.

  Thanks in advance

  AO

  The first thing I would do is to validate the file downloaded against the MD5 checksum or SHA1 published and if it matches then clean the contents of the file folder and try to reinstall.

  If you still have a question I want to manually extract the contents of the installer downloaded and then manual installation of the "vmware player.msi" file (Windows Installer Package).  Note: The .msi extension is hidden by default.

  Use the following as an example of how to manually extract the files from the downloaded installer.

  VMware-player-3.1.3-324285.exe /extract c:\vmplayer.tmp
  

  For additional command line options, run:

  VMware-player-3.1.3-324285.exe /?

  Hi all

  I have a problem following needs your help.

  I have a Portege R-400 with 3 G build-in modem. It is installed Windows 7. All is well until I install the VMWare Player 3.0.

  Without modem 3G connection, each application still works fine. (I use WiFi most of the time.)

  When I'm not in measure use WiFi and connect with 3G, without starting VMWare Player, the system freezes within 5 to 20 minutes.

  The symptom is without any response to the keyboard and mouse, but can see HD light flashing.

  Then, I'll try Virtual PC from microsoft. He may have the same problem, too.

  It will be very appreciated if there is no solution for this problem.

  Thank you very much!

  Dear Mike is a rather complicated question. I mean Toshiba muss well deliver books and work with the factory settings, everything should work fine.
  If you use some third-party software of the part and if something goes wrong, it can be really complicated.

  Who is responsible for support here?
  I hope that someone on this forum has exactly the same specifications, the setting, the operating system and additional software like you and can help you with this.

• The VMware Player window size cannot be changed at the start

  Hello

  I use a VMware Player Version 3.0.1 build 227600 on a Vista Ultimate SP1.

  My problem: the player has a fixed size of windows at startup - and this size is too small (approx. 687 x 585 pixels see attached screentshots). There is no possibiltity to change the size of the window (using the mouse) and no way to maximize either. How can I solve that?

  you put a higher resolution DPI, then 100%

  Don't do that...
