• Why my PC slow down to a crawl when VMware Player is the suspension to the .vmem file?

  My PC becomes almost unusable when VMware Player prepares his State record to .vmem file. VMware Player is delegate the task to C:\Windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe process. When we look in the Manager tasks, I see that the CPU usage is just 5.10% and the memory usage is around 40%, which is normal for me. When I open resource monitor, I see that ntoskrnl.exe is written extensively to the VMware .vmem file. From writing to the disk stops, my PC immediately snaps back to normal.

  I scanned the disc for errors and the performance issues with HDTune, I tested the RAM with memtest. Everything is normal, no errors, drive performance is approximately 110 MB/s. I have antivirus (Avira free) and I don't know that there is a legitimate ntoskrnl.exe Windows process. With the exception of this problem, my PC worked rock stable for three years.

  Why write on a hard drive that is not my OS drive affects the overall performance of a PC so and what can do to solve the problem? Also I don't understand, why suspending the hard .vmem file so long?

  My virtual machine has 8 Windows as a guest operating system. It has 4 GB of RAM. After I suspend the virtual machine, my host PC is trolling for about 10-15 minutes which seems far too long a little writing 4 GB of memory to the .vmem file status. I also tried VM VirtualBox with the same guest OS and 4 GB of RAM and it suspends a lot sooner and don't drag my PC after that. Also if I move the files in Windows Explorer on the same drive, it has this issue. It seems so VMware Player or ntoskrnl.exe is something too aggressive.

  
  

  Here are the specs of my host computer:

  CPU: Intel i3 2120 
  Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H67A-USB3-B3 
  RAM: 8GB 
  Hard disks: 
  OS and system disk - Samsung SSD 840 EVO 120 GB, connected to internal SATA3 port 
  Data disk (which causes the slowdowns): Seagate ST31000528AS 1000 GB, connected to internal SATA3 port 
  OS: Windows 7 64 bit Professional with SP1, updated regularly
  
  

  With the virtual machine off (non-suspended), try adding the following configuration option to the .vmx file:

  mainMem.writeZeroes = TRUE

• VMWare Player 3.1 supports 6 processors cores?

  Hi all

  Sorry for the newbie question. When you create a new virtual machine using VMware Player the number of hearts displayed in scrolling to the bottom of the list is 1,2,4 and 8 cores but not 6 carrots (even if the hosting system running a 6 core processor). Is it possible to create a virtual machine with 6 cores? Thanks in advance for your time!

  While it can be done anyway I made.  As a general rule, I've found that with hosted virtualization products with more then 1 vCPU degrades often performance in the guest and the host unless the guest operating system and Applications are able to use the additional processors and even then it can be degraded performance however if you want to really do as a test, then look at the image below.

  

• Issue of stop start to use VMware player 6.3.0 and a .iso file

  When I power on a virtual machine using an image (Ubuntu 7.04) .iso file in VMware Player 6.3.0 or VMware Workstation 10.3.0, startup stops at certain places and does no more.

  I saw the screen below first,

  

  Then I restarted the VM and I saw the screen below.

  

  I checked the settings of the virtual machine, but have no idea of what is wrong. I don't think that there is no mistake on virtual or physical machine or version number. The .iso file is reliable as well. Could someone help me?

  I solved the problem only by changing to use VMware Player 4.0.6 not version 6.3.0. It was probably incompatibility to halfway...

• VmWare Workstation 7.1 - Unable to P2V and seems does not support disk Acronis image images

  Hello.

  I'm trying to convert my computer into virtual machine using the Conversion Wizard in the VMware Workstation 7.1.

  My hardware is: Intel Core i7-920/6 GB of RAM/2x0.5Tb HDD/ATI HD4800. OS = Windows 7 x 64 Ultimate.

  I need to convert only 1 partition on disk 1 which has the OS and all S/W installed. The partition size is 150 GB allocated space = 72G, before the conversion has been defragmented and check-disked (chkdsk/f).

  The location of the target is a 'new virtual machine', located on a huge USB - HDD (K:\VM\vmWsXxx-WI7\), of course - I have access to all drives and places, and of course - there is enough free space on the target disk.

  The problems:

  (1) when I am trying to convert all the timeI'm getting the"failed to take.
  Instant error message of the volume of the source. In a log file I also see this message - "Vsnap didn't"

  admin rights.

  Purpose (!) I am connected with a user who belongs to a local "Administrators" group. And 'VMware Agent Service' service is running on the same user account. So, I guess - it must be enough to make Vsnap has all the permissions it needs! :-\

  (2) I also tried another way of P2V - I created a disk image of my partition with an Acronis True Image Home 2010 and tried to put this file to disk image as the source for the conversion of VmWare Wizard. But he reportedthe error - 'file may be corrupt or format not supported ". Makes me think that there might some bugs - in Acronis image that makes the supporting incompatible disk images or VmWar!

  My question is - HOW to with SUCCESS CONVERT MY COMPUTER to VM using a VmWare Workstation 7.1 or any other tool?

  Sub question is - why declare VmWare disk support Acronis image images but does not in a real?

  Or (if it supports their) there may be an incorrect error message - "file may be corrupt or format not supported". Maybe he should point out something else.

  What I tried:

  ensured all need services began a) this:

  net start

  UFAD-ws60

  net start "tcp/ip netbios support.

  net start swprv

  net start vss

  (b) I run shell commands - "writers vssadmin list,"vssadmin list shadows"- the two commands work fin, so assume VSS working properly."

  (c) have tried to run this long shell script

  CD %systemroot%\system32

  net stop vss

  net stop swprv

  regsvr32 ole32.dll

  regsvr32 vss_ps.dll

  vssvc /Register

  regsvr32 /i swprv.dll

  regsvr32 /i eventcls.dll

  regsvr32 es.dll

  regsvr32 stdprov.dll

  regsvr32 vssui.dll

  regsvr32 msxml.dll

  regsvr32 msxml3.dll

  regsvr32 msxml4.dll

  BTW, I got a lot of error messages about this script:

  • The module "swprv.dll" was loaded but the call to DIIRegisterServer failed with the error code 0 x 80070715.

• The module "eventcls.dll" was loaded but the call to DIIRegisterServer failed with the error code 0 x 80070715.

• The "es.dll" module has been loaded but the DIIRegisterServer entry point was not found.

• Make sure 'es.dll' is a valid DLL or OCX file and try again.

• The "vssui.dll" failed to load module.

• The "msxml.dll" failed to load module.

• The "msxml4.dll" failed to load module.

MSXML.dll, msxml4.dll and vssui.dll it is not a surprise because these dll does not exist on Win7 x 64 in the %SystemRoot%\System32 directory.

I found msxml4.dll in SysWow64 - registered. But msxml.dll and vssui.dll are really do not exist on Win7 x 64. Then, for sure - this script itself is the problem!

What other options I do P2V conversion?

Are there configuration problems more can I fix it to make the work of P2V conversion?

Kind regards

Dmitry.

PS please see logs 2 closed - system directly, 2nd - diary of the conversion attempt using Acronis True Image Home 2010 disk image works 1 journal of P2V conversion attempt.

using regedit is possible

Select HKLM, then Menu > file > load hive.

• VMware fusion 4 does support > 8 GB of RAM?

  I have been using fusion v3.1 that limits your RAM 8 GB, even if I have 32 GB installed on my Mac Pro.

  I think the upgrade to version 4 as talks of notes release on performance improvements.  Does anyone know if this includes increases the limit of memory of the virtual machine more than 8 GB?

  Officially, Fusion 4 supports 8 GB of memory through the user interface, according to the this KB:

  http://KB.VMware.com/kb/1014006

  You can edit your .vmx file to exceed this amount.

  Open your .vmx using a text editor and locate the following line:

  memsize = "1024".

  Change to the selected size and save the file.

  When you start the virtual computer, you will receive a notice that you have allocated more than 8 GB of RAM, click OK and the virtual machine will run with the new amount.

  The following KB will show you how to change your .vmx:

• Satellite R630-146 does support disk HARD SATA II (SATA-300)

  Hello

  I intend to change my current HITACHI 5K 320 320 HARD drive (HTS543232L9SA00), which is SATA I (* SATA-150 *) on the new HARD drive, but I can't find all the information my Toshiba Satellite R630-146 will support the new SATA II (* SATA-300 *) HARD drive.

  Maybe someone has any ideas where I could find this information?

  Thank you
  Vaidas

  Hello

  I m sure that SATA II hard disks are supported.
  The fact is that the laptop supports the SATA controller and SATA II is down-compatible with SATA I. So it shouldn't be a big problem with the SATA II HARD drive, even if the controller would be SATA I

  There is no legal download for Vista.

  @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

  You can borrow and use a DVD Vista Microsoft (selling retail or OEM System Builders License), which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  The COA sticker is either on the underside of the laptop or in the battery compartment (you already have).

  With a desktop computer, it's on the side, the back or the top of the computer case.

  

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as well as 32-bit and 64-bit editions different DVD lights.

• VMware Workstation 6 usable in VMware Player 2 images?

  We have a few licenses of workstation (6.5.0 build 118166) and I built a few images for other users who should have the player (2.0.5 build 109488). Unfortunately, it seems that we cannot use images created with the workstation. When we tried to open the images with the reader, we had 'is not a valid configuration file. File "C:\".... VMX' was created with a VMware product with more features than this version of VMware Player and can not be used with this version of VMware Player. "Failed to open the configuration file" C:\... vmx. I saw in a similar position that there is no question of using images with a player created by workstation...? I tried to reinstall the VMware tools in the image, but the problem remains the same. Could someone explain to me? Thank you.

  Fix vmplayer version 2.5. 2 or safe as version 6.0 compatible virtual machines.

  Or - (Advanced) edit the vmx file so that it matches

• VMWARE PLAYER QUESTIONS?

  We have a Windows XP pro 32-bit system that has been converted into an image of the system using VMware Server, version unknown.    When the image was created the following files were produced, shown in the form of code snippet below.  Can someone tell me why it would create two file extensions separated during this process.   The ultimate goal is to get this image to run inside vmplayer 6 and I have the most difficult time to get this working.  It is my understanding that the hard files are the key here.  Do I have to rename the files .vmd to hard extensions or do the reverse?  Should I put all the files in the directory Libraries\Documents\Virtual Machines\WindowsXpPro c:\\?  What should I remove this directory after the creation of the machine?

  Since it is was created using VMware server does count as a restricted machine? Will it take to buy VMware player more to do this job?

  

  If all the files required for a given virtual machine exist in the same folder, then all that is needed to start the virtual machine is to use the reader > file > open... and select the .vmx config file or simply double-click the configuration from Windows Explorer .vmx file!   If it does not load and run correctly something is wrong and you want more information to investigate.

• Fatal error of VMware Player

  Hello

  I am brand new here. Apologies for not being able to carefully check if this has been answered before. I realize that I'm not the one with this problem, but I am simply unable to realize that solutions really apply to me.

  Any help is much appreciated!

  I have been using VMware Player without problems for a while now and tonight she just won't start, and I get this error:

  Fatal error VMware Player: (vmplayer)

  0xc0000006 (disk when paging error) exception occurred.

  See attached for more information. I'm not a techie, so I really need all the help I can get! (Someone wrote that the addition of the whole journal was harsh, but I don't know just what to include and what not to do!)

  A little desperately yours.

  DEX.

  Because I don't have an answer, I have hade to wade into some answers to previous similar questions. Among the varieties of deleting some files (which I wouldn't do), I also found the idea quite simple to check disk running. (For more information, see performing a check disk (1004003).)

  Fortunately, this did the trick for me! I was a little surprised by this great result, but possibly virtual are more fragile than the guest machines disk errors? I do not know.

  But I'm sure glad it worked for me. Now my VMware Player is running again!
