VMware player + modem

Well, I have google assign to this topic and I have the knowledge now that modems on board are tough for VMware player. But I would still ask because maybe there's a solution.

I had a built-in modem (Agere Systems HDA modem), which is installed on my win machine propperly 7. I installed VMware player with an XP operating system. but no modem found. This is a classic problem and if I didn't know better I'd give cause all the answers I've found where disappointing.

Now, when I check the Device Manager and click on the modem I see that he uses "COM5" so it gave me a spark of hope. I added this com port for the virtual machine settings, but I still don't know what to do the next cause I can't install the drivers.

Any input would be more than welcome.

Kind regards

Patrick

Installation of the drivers is perhaps not necessary and he probably does not work to install the drivers from the virtual machine anyway.  The modem is not presented to the virtual machine, only one COM port.  I hope that you are using an application of the virtual machine that can talk to the serial port and requires no specific functions of the driver.

If the host uses the modem on Com5 and virtual machine probably uses Com1 as there is only a single device set installed, at least that's my guess.

  • Portege R - 400 3 G modem freezes VMWare Player 3.0 in Windows 7

    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.

  • Do I need work station to modify USB devices? You can also VMware Player...

    That's what I would do:

    Install VMware Player on Windows 7 evaluation version

    I have to configure a modem USB (ISDN-telephone line)

    Can I add this USB device to my virtual guest later in VMware Player?

    I feel like the installation of VMware Workstation for just add this USB device installation. I have no experience of using VMware Player. I've always had of VMware Workstation to support me in everything I've done, that's why I ask.

    I can only imagine that maybe VMware Player will limit to deal with the addition of devices/units, but what is the truth?

    Peripheral USB themselves act as plug-and-play.  As long as you have configured the virtual computer to have a USB controller and have installed the drivers (via VMware Tools) in the comments, you can attach any USB device to the guest with workstation, player, server, Fusion, etc..

    Workstation already includes the UI player interface so that you can test your VMS how they will be displayed to users who have installed Player.  There should be a shortcut installed for it.  You can run your VM via player INTERFACE and to answer to your question here, I think.

    The VMware FAQ details the requirements for VMWare.

    http://www.VMware.com/products/player/FAQs.html

    The processor and RAM already exceed requirements, so it shouldn't have a negative effect on performance. VMWare Player will not affect on real hardware. This depends on the version of Linux used because it must be enough RAM for the host (Windows 7 64-bit) operating system and the guest OS (Linux). 4 GB of RAM should be plenty for the operating systems run, but you can find some RAM intensive programs may have reduced performance. For most programs, this shouldn't be a problem.

    Other virtualization technologies require virtualization is enabled in the BIOS. However, the FAQ does not mention this. If this does not work and you receive an error on activation, then enable it in the BIOS.

  • How to download and use my Win 7 Pro prior in a Virtual Machine in VMWARE PLAYER?

    before 3 years, I bought a win 7 pro PC - recently, I fee install 8.1... How to download and use my prior Win 7 Pro in a Virtual Machine in VMWARE PLAYER?

    Unfortunately, you must have prepared a recovery disk in advance or use the one provided with your computer.

    For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

    It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

    Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

  • Guy Android coming to BB. Installation with VMWare player/Simulator/SDK issues

    I installed it,

    C/C++ QNX Momentics IDE...installer-bbndk-BB10_0_04-win32-186-201204250810-201204251322.exe

    VMWare... VMware-player-version 4.0.3 - 703057.exe

    I go to the early stages of QNX Momentics IDE and try opening an example (SDK)
    I get the Setup Deployment Wizard. I go to Device Setup and choose Simulator.
    What should I do now? The last step click the HELP (?) says he launched the Simulator, but I get a page with the title "Blackberry Simulator is not found and it's looking for a file VNX. I checked and tripled check the previous steps on the help icon.

    The Simulator is deadlocked C:\Documents and Settings\User1\My Documents\Virtual Machines\BlackBerry10Simulator-BB10_0_04. And I clearly see a BlackBerry10Simulator.vmx file in there
    but the SDK app doesn't see a single VMX file. The folder 'controllers' and other records.

    I tried the VMWare Player. It works very well.

    What I am doing wrong?

    Hey be based,

    The initial installation of the IDE and Simulator can be sometimes a bit daunting. Some of these steps you've done but im going anyway to list them:

    1. raise some Code by signing keys: keys

    2. download and install Momentics IDE and install

    3. download and install Blackberry Simulator

    4 download and install VMWare

    5 disable all firewall programs including windows firewall

    6. open VMWare-> choose open a Virtual Machine-> access your VNX file and open it

    7 if it opens really slow try changing options in VMWare 2 CPU and see if you can activate the "Virtualization technology" or "AMD Virtualization" in the BIOS

    8 the address of development of the Simulator (click the icon of the person with the toothed wheel on the menu bar of your alpha dev Simulator

    9. open the IDE, click window > Preferences on Windows and select BlackBerry and click BlackBerry Setup Wizard Deployment.

    10. follow the onscreen instructions to set up your target (Simulator or device) and add your chips of the device debugging.

    11 A this point your simulator could not auto discover so add your IP address you found earlier and if you haven't added a password in your simulator then let empty password.

    12. the rest of the wizard of BlackBerry deployment configuration should work just fine.

    13 open a sample application

    14. click on the file of the bar - descriptor.xml in the Project Explorer view, and then select "Set of symbolic debugging.

    15. right click on the project file, and then select Configurations to Build > Set Active > 4 Simulator-Debug

    16. right click on the project file, and then select generate the project.

    17. then right click on the project again and select run as > BlackBerry Application C/C++

    18. If all goes well, everything should work from there.

    Remember you need to do 14-17 for each project you want to run through the Simulator. And always turn on the virtual machine before you start the IDE I found that things always work better that way.

    I hope this helps!

    Hello everyone. I am fairly new to this programming PlayBook and have to face a frustrating problem. I installed the earlier version and have been more or less successful in programming.

    However, with the new version, I am unable to install the Simulator in VMware Player. I have uninstalled, reinstalled, re-downloaded and re-installed, etc. and continue to have the following in the on-screen display in the last step of the installation of the virtual machine.

    In the earlier version, the display shows - loading of the neutrinos... and proceeded to complete the installation.

    In this version the display shows - loading installer... .and poster cd/EULA.txt in the bottom of the first screen scrolling text. I can scroll up and down and display a lot of text but nothing continues or finishes the installation of the virtual machine.

    It is (very) difficult.

    Do not press the "enter" or the arrow key down.

    You should stop to support anything at all times when only a few lines of text to the left.

    Then down one line at a time. Otherwise your entry extra will be interpreted as

  • Install ACS 5.3 on VMware Player?

    I get an error when you install ACS on VMware Player (not VMware Workstation).  The error is "sda drive specified in the score command that does not exist."  I found this: https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/201443 which says to use the LSI instead of BusLogic adapter.  The problem is, I don't have this option when creating a new HARD drive or when I go into the advanced settings after you create the new HARD drive.

    Is it possible to install ACS 5.3 in the free version, VMware Player?  Maybe there's some magic .vmx that someone found...
