VMWare Player

Pavilion g6 1201-tx. QG470PA #ACJ.

Windows 7 64-bit.

2nd gen i5 2430 M 2.4 GHz, Intel HD 3000 + AMD Radeon 6470 M 1 GB HD.

640 GB HARD DRIVE. 4 GB OF RAM.

I want to install Linux on my Windows 7, but using 'VMWare Player '.

If I install Linux with VMPlayer, it will have negative effects on my laptop hardware, Windows 7 and the sustainability of the laptop? Because VM consumes a lot of resources, so will advise me on this subject?

IMP: Can I activate "Virtualization" of CPU via the BIOS settings?

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.

    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.

    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.

  • 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.

    Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

    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

    your answer to the question who is supposed to be 'y '.

    You will be successful after trying several times.

  • 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...

  • Allows users not able to connect to the server through Vmware Player Flex

    Hi all

    I created a Horizon Vmware server with Flex. Created Windows Image and saved the VM in the Flex web console. The configured policy and gives the right to some windows domain users to use this Image.

    I created a group called "Mirageadmin" and added two users in this group. Mirageadmin belongs to a group of Administrators local and also added to the Administrators group in the console of Mirage . These two users can connexiona Horizon flex web console.

    My problem is that when the user right connect to the server through Vmware Player Flex, its list of username or password is incorrect, please try again. But the user name and password is correct. Later one of the user added to the Mirgaeadmin group policy gives right I. While this user can connect to Flex server via Vmware Player.


    1 should. users entitled be part of the local administrator group of the Flex server?

    2. do I need to add these users right somewhere in the console of mirage?

    Thanks for supporting.

    Hi all

    Turn history on security locally should be set in the server included users who try to connect via Vmware Player.

  • Need help with VMware Player to run!

    I've been using VMware Player 7.1 successfully for some time, but my drive hard host started making noise, so I installed a new SSD drive as drive C on the host computer.  My old hard drive installation was 8.1 for Windows 64-bit, but needed to be cleaned, so I did a clean install of Windows 8.1 64 bit on my new SSD for the host.  My guest OS (8.1 64-bit Windows) has been installed on drive E, then I'm not touching this player.  I then installed VMware Player 7.1 and all is well.  However, when I now run VMware Player 7.1 and try to open my (8.1 Windows 64-bit) guest OS, he says now that the Intel VT - x is disabled.  I've never touched the BIOS at all, but to check I went into the BIOS and Intel Virtualization is always on because it has been.  My system is a motherboard ASUS Sabertooth with an i7 processor and 16 GB of ram.

    So I rechecked everything in the BIOS and made sure the virtualization is enabled.  What else can I do to get VMware Player 7.1 running?  Help, please!

    The log file created when I tried to run the guest operating system is attached.

    Thank you

    Abby

    It is indeed strange that there is a difference with no changes to the BIOS. In any case, other messages in the forums, it seems like some antivirus/end point protection applications can cause these issues (see, for example, binary translation is incompatible with the long mode). You have already installed this application?

    It might be interesting to see vmware.log from the virtual machine HARD disk.

  • VMWare Player, NAT and firewall

    Hello

    I'm running VMWare Player 7.1.2 with Windows 8.1 as host and Debian Linux as a target.  I want to run the network card in NAT mode for the isolation it provides to Linux.  I have tightened my windows machines and thus, set windows firewall to block all outbound connections except those covered by specific rules.  When I turn this firewall does not block OFF, NAT network works fine, when I turn it on, NAT does not work.  I tried to add each firewall rule, that I can think of, such as the possibility of vmnat, VMnetDHCP and vmware-authd, as a program and a service.  The rules, which I configured include all ports and protocols.  No rule allows traffic NAT of VMWare Player.

    Thoughts?

    OK, I found a solution.

    First of all, I would say that I use the Windows Firewall, not McAfee etc.

    The crux of the problem is that there are two instances of vmnat.exe on my machine.  The first is in the VMWare Player folder (as I predicted), and the second is in \Windows\SysWOW64.

    * Opening a rule for the program in VMWare Player, for all services, does not work.

    Opening of rule for Windows (which is defined as the SysWOW64 version) services, for all programs, does not work.

    * However, the opening of a rule for the program in SysWOW64, for all services, works.

    It's weird, because the player is definitely using Windows services, because it if you stop, the machine virtual loose connectivity, but create a firewall rule for the Department is insufficient.  Instead, I have to define a rule based on the programs and point to the exe file that is managed by the service.  No other firewall rule is necessary.

    I do not fully understand, but it's the solution to my problem.
