VMware-vmx, this who-is that?

I'm running Vista-32 (all keys) with the latest version of Fusion, under Leopard 10.5.8

My VM production were suspended these last time (which seems to be associated with Outlook 2007) and I'll try to understand what is happening.

In the meantime, the only way to get the 'unhung"is to force out the VMware-vmx in the activity monitor.

The problem here is that I'm running several virtual machines and therefore cannot distinguish what VMware-vmx is associated with what VM. As you can imagine, I often end up force - quit VM wrong!

Is there a way to know who is a partner at what VM VMware-vmx?

Appreciate any help...

I don't know if you can get Activity Monitor tell you this, but if you go to a Terminal and do

ps auwwx | grep vmware-vmx

you get a list of vmware-vmx process, complete with launch arguments (which includes the path to the virtual machine).

  • [linux] 100% I/O load by vmware-vmx (pictures?)

    Hello

    I'm running x 86 windows xp as a guest on x 86 opensuse 11.4 as host and vmware player causes i/o to ~ 100% with processes like this:

    13442 be/4 root      744.93 K/s    0.00 B/s  0.00 % 85.67 % vmware-vmx -ssnapshot.numRollingTiers=0 -sRemoteDisplay.vnc.enabled=FALSE -s vmx.stdio.keep=TRUE -# product=8;name=VMware Player;version=4.0.0;buildnumber=471780;licensename=VMware Player;licenseversion=6.0; -@ pipe=/tmp/vmware-root/vmx16d9525b1f8e4be7;readyEvent=29 /root/Virtual_Machines/venda/Windows XP Professional.vmx 

    and disc total write 1000-3000 K/s, resulting in a system almost unusable (thanks to 12309).

    I have no swap system coz my amount of RAM allows (total of 12 GB and 2 GB dedicated to windows prompt).

    comment system has disabled too much paging (swap) file.

    Googling a bit revealed to me that there are a few "shots" that are made automatically by the player, and that might cause these high i/o, so the question is - how to disable these clichés? I don't worry about losing my job or something coz I make backups of client hard disks manually.

    If the problem is not in the snapshots, otherwise, how could fix this huge I/O by player?

    I experienced this problem in all versions of reader, same 4.0.

    Thanks in advance.

    This is your/etc/vmware/config

    installerDefaults.dataCollectionEnabled = 'no '.
    installerDefaults.componentDownloadEnabled = 'yes '.
    installerDefaults.transferVersion = '1 '.
    installerDefaults.autoSoftwareUpdateEnabled = 'no '.

    the problem should go away if you add

    prefvmx.useRecommendedLockedMemSize = 'true '.
    prefvmx.minVmMemPct = "100".

    If it does not also help add

    mainmem.backing = 'name '.

    the last of them is expensive - you pay this one with loss of performance.

    Your best option is to add swap space

    Edit: red line was an error - now it's ok

  • Files in the folder Server - vmware-vmx - zdump.000

    Afternoon guy,

    I have two files zdump in one of my servers folder. I know that these types of files are created when there is something wrong with the server. I have server went through a bit of a rough when patch it drive and the data store ran out of space. This has been fixed now.

    I would like to know if I can go and delete files without causing problems on the server? Also if I can delete the files should it be done when the server is down?

    ESX 3.5

    VI 2.5 client

    VMware-vmx - zdump.001 - 60,00 KB

    VMware-vmx - zdump.000 - 10 244,00 KB

    Thank you very much

    André

    The files are created in case of error. They are not currently in use and not necessary for the ESX host or virtual machine to operate and can be deleted without closing anything.

    Fake phone calls to technical support

    You did the right thing.

    Calls unrequested telephone of this nature are almost always a common scam. Do not let them give any info, do not give access to your PC, not give them all the money and do not go to all the websites that they suggest. One moment.

    Please see:

    Microsoft issues never not solicited for phone calls of support or security.

    These types of callers can use completely fictitious names or bogusly claim to be of real companies other than Microsoft as well.

  • I received calls from someone in India who said that they are Windows services centre telling me that they have received the error message saying that my computer is corrupted

    Original title: my computer is corrupt and needs fixing!

    I received calls from a person in India who said that they are Windows services centre telling me that they have received the error message saying that my computer is damaged, and they want to help me.  But I have not received any error message on my screen.  When I asked them how they got my number they said it's from the database of Windows. The number they gave me is 02921252715 and when I called the number of the person on the other end told me that they are a company called Windows e-solution, independent company and is not attached to Microsoft Windows.  What should I do?  Are these authentic calls and approved by Microsoft Windows?

  • This information means that my computer contains files of piracy, or it can be hacked by someone?

    System.ini

    When I wrote this (system.ini) order in the menu tab start, I had a Notepad with the following window:

    My question is: this information means that my computer contains files of piracy, or it can be hacked by someone? And if the answer is YES, please tell me what I can do to deal with this problem?

    Thank you very much

    I think it means that your search has shown you the content of the "C:\Windows\system.ini.  This file has been used at the time when Windows ran on top of MS-DOS and listed the drivers that were to be installed at the time of start-up.  In current versions of Windows, it controls the environment driver for legacy 16-bit applications.  Usually it is not necessary, but it is perfectly safe to have around, especially when it contains what you describe.  Who are the fairly typical system.ini file content.  FON files are CGA and EGA display fonts files, mmdrv.dll is a Media Manager for a sound card, and timer.drv is a pilot of the timer.

    What you are trying to download is an update to El Capitan, which requires that El Capitan already installed.

    You should find the correct Installer for El Capitan in the Apple store under the purchased tab.

  • The cleaning of the Windows 3.0 Setup utility. I'm trying to locate the download of this program, so that I can remove the Hello from my computer.

    Original title: Windows install clean up 3.0 utility

    I'm trying to locate the download of this program, so that I can remove it hello to my computer can you help me?

    As suggested by Imran, Microsoft removed the Windows Installer Cleanup utility of its servers to download because sometimes when this tool has been used (I think with MS Office), he took over he was supposed to.

    The Windows Installer Cleanup utility is always available from http://majorgeeks.com/Windows_Installer_CleanUp_Utility_d4459.html , or you can use the free Revo Uninstaller.  Before using or the other of these tools, create a restore point from the system, backup the registry with C:\WINDOWS\ERUNT, or (if you can afford) creates a full disk image or a clone - just in case.
