VMware Workstation 10 - not enough physical memory...

So, I'm aware of the Windows KB2995388 8.1 update that causes this problem:

Not enough physical memory is available to power on this virtual machine with its configured settings. To solve this problem, decrease the size of the memory of this virtual machine at 460 MB, increase the amount of physical memory for all the virtual machines to 3296 MB or adjust the parameters of extra memory to enable more virtual memory machine to swap. It is possible that native and/or services applications have locked memory which could help launch the virtual machine. Close unnecessary applications or services can free up enough memory to start this virtual machine. If you were able to on this Windows virtual machine on that host computer in the past, try restarting the host computer. Reboot may allow you to use a little more memory host to run virtual machines.

but after upgrading my OS today I have the same symptoms and can't find installed KB2995388.

I tried running VMware Workstation as an administrator with no luck either.

Y at - it no alternative workaround, or is there an another Windows update that can cause this problem?

Thanks for any help and advice.

Yes, other updates can cause the same issue, because the change that was made in KB2995388 was incorporated in to many other more recent updates as well.

What version of Workstation do you run?  If you run Workstation 10.0.4 or newer on Windows 8.1, this should no longer be a problem.

  • 12 GB of RAM is "not enough physical memory" for a 2-GB virtual Machine?

    I run VMware Player 6.0.3 on Windows 64-bit 8.1. My host has 12 GB of physical memory and my virtual machine uses 2 GB memory. And yet, I can't start my VM because VMware has said "not enough physical memory is available to power on this virtual machine with its configured settings".

  • VMware Workstation 6.5 - not enough physical memory is available to power on this virtual machine

    My host is a processor Intel Core i5 (active VT) and 8 GB of RAM Windows 7 64 bit running with hardware virtualization enabled.

    Apart from McAfee Antivirus and the usual Windows updates, no other software has been installed on the host machine.

    I am running Vmware Workstation 6.5 and I installed 3 popular VM with below guest OS, s/w and memory:

    VMware ESX 4-2 GB
    Server 2003 (DC and DNS) - 1 GB

    Server 2003 (vCenter Server) - 1 GB

    However, it is not possible for me to all 3 virtual machines run simultaneously. If I turn on Vmware ESX 4 and try to start Windows 2003 VM, it displays the following message:

    Not enough physical memory is available to power on this virtual machine with its configured settings.

    To resolve this problem, set the parameters in additional memory to allow for more virtual memory machine to swap.

    If you were able to on this Windows virtual machine on that host computer in the past, try restarting the host computer. Reboot may allow you to use a little more memory host to run virtual machines.

    Can you get it someone please let me know where are the rest of the memory is busy? Size of total memory of 3 virtual machines are only 4 GB and I have to be able to run all the VMs set 3, but in this case I can't even run two virtual machines simultaneously.

    Please help what should I do?

    With 8 GB of RAM on the host allowing why only 1 GB to be reserved for all you run virtual machines?

  • After the crash of the system, Workstation 10 reports "not enough physical memory is available" - how to fix?

    On a Windows Pro 8.1 with 32 GB memory main system, I was running three virtual machines on 10 workstation.  Then we had a power failure and the system crashed.  Once the power was back and I restarted, any attempt to run a virtual machine failed with the following (change numbers) message:

    Not enough physical memory is available to power on this virtual machine with its configured settings.

    To solve this problem, decrease the size of this virtual machine to 988 MB memory, increase the amount of physical memory for all the virtual machines to 1219 MB or adjust the parameters of extra memory to enable more virtual memory machine to swap.

    This occurs if the virtual computer, I try to start is one of those that was going or who was not working at the time of the accident.  In this case if I am as an administrator or not.

    I checked Edit/Preferences/memory, and reserved memory is set to 24480 MB - 24 GB.  Can I run a virtual machine if I set the memory size to below the value indicated in the message (in this case, 988 MB).  Of course, I don't want to run like that!

    The Windows System Control Panel reports (almost) complete 32 GB system memory. Task Manager indicates that only 7% of close to 32 GB is in use.  "About VMware Workstation", reports 32640 MB.

    How can I fix it?  I'm basically dead in the water.

  • Not enough (RAM) memory free to start treatment for Outlook services

    When I run Outlook 2007 SP2 and after getting my new one e-mail a notice appears of the outlook on the outlook bar icon to say tasks cannot start treatment services because there is not enough free memory to run this program (and it I do not see my new email). I added 2 GB of RAM and now have 6 GB in my Dell XPS 420 desktop computer. It has no effect on the error message. I'm running the 32-bit version of Windows Vista Ultimate SP2. In the physical memory in task manager, I show about 3100 MB in total, 1500 cache and 0 free. Don't know why the total would not be about 6 GB which is what is installed. What can I do to manage the memory or any other suggestions for the prospects for a return to normal?

    It turns out that the problem was with Outlook and not related to the memery computer. It was solved by going to features, programs and Control Panel, and then repair Microsoft office system 2007.  Thank you for all your help.

    Hello

    32-bit Edition of Windows Vista has a limit of 4 GB memory. If you have installed more than 4 GB, Vista will not read the extra memory.

    The question you have posted is related to Outlook and would be better suited to the office community. Please visit the link below to find a community that will support what ask you

    Hi Sue and Betsy,

    This article shows how to increase the amount of virtual memory on your PC: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-CA/windows-vista/Change-the-size-of-virtual-memory (I recommend setting virtual memory to 2500 MB initial size and a maximum size of 3000 MB).

    When I click the icon "Cycle multiple monitors", I get the message "VMware Workstation does not support the multiple monitors feature in other guests."  Google found me no hits on it.  Anyone know what that means or how I could get multiple monitors to work?

    Hi Steve and welcome on VMware communities!

    With your virtual machine turned off the power, go into the settings of your virtual machine and on the Options tab, under general, select the client OS type: Linux > Debian 7 64-bit.  Then try to turn your virtual computer and see if it works.  (8 debian is quite close to Debian 7.)

  • Photoshop CS3 is not enough virtual memory

    My photoshop program won't let me even open a file now without busting a message saying it's not enough virtual memory. I tried to change the amount of RAM, it offers access too, but it does not help. It does not seem to count how many things I opened.

    Try to change or add to the "scratch disks" Photoshop has access too. Its in the preferences under the edit menu, probably in the performance category, although I don't remember CS3 very well these days.

  • VMWare Workstation does not stop is a virtual completely on Surface Pro 3 machine

    Hello

    I use VMWare Workstation 10.0.3 on my 3 Surface Pro I7 with 8 GB of memory. Most of the time when I suspend my virtual machine image he doesn't stop the virtual machine completely. The result is that I cannot supply or not more and even can't leave VMWare Workstation, because it says that the virtual machine is always busy. When I force to restart my computer and start VMWare Workstation virtual machine once again watch as suspended. What is good.

    This happens only on my Surface Pro 3

    Can anyone help?

    Best regards

  • CS5 error "not enough scratch memory available" when there is plenty of it.

    Illustrator CS5 generates this error:

    ---------------------------
    Adobe save for Web AI error
    ---------------------------
    Unable to complete this operation. There is not enough memory available scratch.
    ---------------------------
    Ok
    ---------------------------

    When you try to save to the web. The content has a lot of images associated with it, around 1000 x 1000 px each, with masks of clipping, drop shadows and lights at 300 dpi.

    I realize that this could be difficult to flatten for JPEG and I would be fine with long delays treatment (which I get) but lacks memory?... Here is my config:

    Illustrator CS5

    Windows 7 x 64 ultimate

    Intel Core i7 920

    6 GB OF RAM

    Size of the pagefile: 24GB.

    Main working drive - 155 GB free.

    Secondary scratch disk - 544 GB free.

    These are all the gigabytes, not megabytes, no error. There is NO WAY that there is no the scratches enough memory available.

    And that's what the process looks like:

    IllCS5process.png

    Use of physical memory at this stage is 62%, delivery - 15%.

    Currently, I can work around this problem by making a screenshot of the 'Original' tab in dialog Save Web when he's there - because sometimes it's just a filled rose window.

    So, Adobe, suggestions, please?

    There is NO WAY that there is no the scratches enough memory available.

    There is, if it cannot create a temporary file, which is indeed related to the limitations for 32-bit applications and save for Web cannot exceed 2 GB if I remember correctly. That's what you say, and this has absolutely nothing to do with your system swap file. A possible solution would be to manually flatten the file before exporting it, but as pointed out by others, your workflow is not particularly sensitive and effective at first and certainly don't grave that do save for Web is designed for in the first place. Save a PDF file can be much less annoying. Also just consider using Bridge to create derivatives of the files HAVE real control.

    Hello

    We're having trouble getting our Marlin F131B-NIR camera to run under Labview.

    The camera works (using AVT Unicam 1.1.3) using Matlab.

    The computer has MAX 4.7.4f0 and Vision Acquisition Software August 2010 (NOR-IMAQdx 3.7) and running Windows XP 32-bit SP3.  The version of Labview is v8.6, but the problem is to the MAX.

    The camera appears in MAX, as

    NOR-IMAQdx devices

    CAM1:AVT 1394 camera

    but when clicked on the camera, we get an error message

    Error 0xBFF69000
    Not enough memory

    We would be grateful for any suggestions how to get the camera to open up to the MAX.

    Thank you very much

    Hello Gil,.

    In this system, how many camera you try to use (1, 2,...)? Could you confirm me that when you test your camera in MAX, AVT Unicam is closed and released the resource?

    Have you properly associated with the driver OR (Legacy IMAQ for IEEE 1394 driver) this camera in MAX?

    There is a good web page on our website that statement all the step to configure and install an IEE-1394 camera on a computer. Perhaps, which might help you to invesigate on this issue:
