Win XP host gets restart everything install Windows 8 comments in VMWare Workstation 9.01

Hello

I have a machine that running Windows XP SP3 with 2 GB (DDRII) of RAM with Intel Core 2 E7400 2.80 GHz processor. I want to test Winodws 8 before you install on this machine. I have download and install VMWare Workstation 9.01. Then I rebooted my system and went into my BIOS and put the "No.-Execute memory Protection" 'Activate' and the system boots. Now when I try to install Windows 8 in the VMWare machine, which I set up for the OS, just like the VMWare logo screen with the F2 and F12 options my whole system restarts.  Someone at - he meets this type of problem?

I think that if the goal here it to test Windows 8 then I uninstall VMware Workstation 9 and try VirtualBox and see if this causes the same question.  Another thing you can do is give it a try on your host using Memtest86RAM, or similar, to make sure that's not a problem with bad RAM to a greater address then you normal would not not a VM running.   If RAM tests OK and works of VirtualBox, you can always try an earlier version of VMware Workstation, but I think not v7 supports Windows 8 as a guest.  I've used VirtualBox for Windows 8, and it worked very well!

    * Original title: Windows 10 disappointment

    Recently, I bought a HP with Windows 10 Tower preloaded.  I gave up 10.  I would like to return to the Windows 7 desktop.  If I buy or buy this software, I guess I have to 'wipe' 10 of my machine?  Or I would just download 7 top?   What I have found online are instructions for people who have updated to 10 and want to revert to an earlier version of windows.  In my case, I never had an earlier version on the machine I have now.  Is there place where I can get help with installing Windows 7?  Online, local dealer?  Thank you.

    If I were you, I call HP and tell them that you do not want this computer with Win10.  They are very likely still sells machines with Win7 for businesses, because most companies do not affect the Win10 with a 10 foot barge pole.

    Dell is selling them for sure.  I've been helping my clients by computers Dell Win7 for a very long time now and just had one on my desk a week ago.  Look at the range of Dell Vostro of computers.

  • How to get Ubuntu 11 unit interface to work in VMWare Workstation

    I can't get the new Ubuntu Unity 11 work in VMWare Workstation interface.  Any help would be appreciated.

    I'm running the virtual machine with 2 GB of RAM, 2 processors and 3D graphic acceleration.  I think that it is a more powerful configuration than an old laptop on which I easily got the work unit.

    It still works, whenever Ubuntu starts, Gnome rather than unity.  This happens even if I have, that he set up on the logon screen to run Ubuntu (which is Unity) instead of Gnome.

    It's hard to find since VMWare also uses the term of the unit. Please be clear that I am wondering about the new Unity of Ubuntu 11 interface, NOT interface of the VMWare unit.

    VMware does not support what is needed to make it work in 3D and the only choice I've seen is to use unity 2D

    In a Terminal:

    sudo apt-get install unity-2d-default-settings

    1 you shouldn't have to download all the drivers for the vHDD, as LSI Logic drivers are included in Windows Server 2003.  In other words, you have not selected correct SCSI (LSI Logic) controller.

    Now I get NTLDR is missing, restart the computer.

  • Windows 95 c in VMware Workstation 9 with sound

    Greetings;

    Since last week I have been experimenting with older operating systems (windows, back 1 through 2000 Pro).  One of my achievements was his work in Windows 95 c running in workstation hardware mode 9 (see below).

    However, I have still two unknown devices in Device Manager.  Unknown devices 1.4.20 Beta gives the following information about their:

    Win95_Unknowndevices.PNG

    Someone had some luck finding compatible Windows 95 drivers for these two devices?

    As for his work in Windows 95 c still in office work 9, I used the following steps:

    1. Create a new virtual machine of type 'Other' and version "MS-DOS".
    2. FDISK and format/s hard drive
    3. Copy your DOS/Windows 3.x soundblaster 16 installation package to the newly formatted hard drive and install it (I used the default c:\sb16 location)
    4. This has generated the following Autoexec. Lines BAT for me:
      1. SOUND SETTING = C:\SB16

      2. BLASTER = A220 I5 D1 H5 T6 P330 SET

      3. MIDI SET = SYNTH: 1 MAP:E

      4. C:\SB16\DIAGNOSE/S

      5. C:\SB16\MIXERSET/P/Q

    5. Change your VM to type the "Windows" version "Windows 95"

    6. Install Windows 95 normally and you should make it sound.
    7. Continue with the installation of vmware tools and the rest of your configuration of Windows 95.

Este fallo viene cuando el nodo TR checks are completely funcional in el Cluster, is is "pensando" y da fallo por tiempo sold.

    He revisado problemas similar y he visto that el antivirus can be una causa e caso no lo're are only aun no he wont any AV... There comprobado red devices (utilizamos 4, 2 iSCSI, 1 red LAN y otra heart rate), he desactivado los red el protocolo IPv6 devices, he probado connect los nodos con el Kerio Offline, el desactivado firewall of Windows, exportar components del registro TCPIP6, capture las conexiones iSCSI...

    El cluster is as en Máquinas Office instalacion del WS2012 y is ha hecho manera person, no mediante VMWare del injerto.

    Una nueva prueba as hoy he ha hecho sido realize el cluster 2 maquinas office in una misma Máquina física y to ha s con exito, pero cuando intento realize el 2 nodos cluster (2 machines virtual cada una fisica diferente Máquinas) cuando me da el error. Esto deduzco raiz Quebec are a VMware o red, no lo o problema se, he probado use tan solo 1 switch (infrastructure utilizaria 2), changing IPs, pero igual sigo as can be? contacts? Alguna especifica VMware config?

  • Can't get online once installed Windows 7!

    I can't get online on my desktop (HP Pavilion, under 2 years old) after the installation of Windows 7 Home Premium. Previously, I had Vista. The compatibility tool indicated that everything was OK. There is nothing wrong with my modem or ISP (my laptop is online and does very well). I was online with Vista, now I can't get online at all. Troubleshooting have yielded no results. I can't via radio or via a direct cable connection to the cable modem. Any thoughts? It's really frustrating and I can't google to the top of all the answers. Thank you.

    Go to Device Manager and see if the wired and wireless network adapters are installed and working.  If they are not, you may need to download drivers for them on another computer.

  • Cannot get online after installing windows XP Edition family on my laptop which was origally XP PRO

    I have a laptop HP Compaq 6830 s that had xp professional did not get a disc of bone with it when buying. The system crashed 0x0000007B error code. I installed OS XP Home version Pro Version and now I't does not recognize my modem or ethernet. Cannot get online. I'll tho the HP site and they don't have that driver for XP Pro Downloads Home Version. I go to the Device Manager and have question marks on the following - ethernet controller (PCI bus 134, device 0, function 0), network controller (bus PCI 3, device 0, function 0), PCI Device (device function 27 of the PCI bus 0 0), Universal serial bus (PCI bus 0, device 29, function 7) (USB) Universal Serial Bus controller (bus PCI 0) (, 26, function 7 device), unknown device (on PCI bus) properties, the properties of the unknown device (on system compatible ACPI Microsoft) and the properties of video controller (VGA Compatible) (bus PCI 1, device 0, function 0) all the points mark have (Code 28). Is there any wat I can fix this or should I install OS XP PRO?

    Go here--> http://www8.hp.com/us/en/support-drivers.html

    Enter the model of your computer.  If you just enter 'Compaq 6830 s' you get 3 choices.

    For example, I clicked on the link below and select the link for "XP Professional" coming to this page--> http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodNameId=3688717&prodTypeId=321957&prodSeriesId=3688712&swLang=13&taskId=135&swEnvOID=1093

    You're right; There are a large number of items on this page.  You may be able to refine things if you enter your full product number, but if not, here are some general indications:

    "" For each of the downloads, click each tab on the download page and read the information on 'Description' improvements,' 'Instructions of Installation","System requirements"," Release Notes, "and"Revision history" before you install the downloaded driver.

    • Start by "Driver - Chipset" and use "9.1.0.1007 a (January 16, 2009).»
    • Then go to "driver - storage.»  Install the Intel Matrix Storage Manager driver.  Optional, but probably very desirable, install the new version of HP 3D DriveGuard.  You probably don't need (at least for now), the driver of chip card reader (unless you have an external drive of smart card).
    • Then go to "- Audio driver." Install the driver Microsoft UAA and the most recent drivers SoundMax ADI.
    • Then go to 'Pilot - graphics.' Install the new ATI video driver.
    • Then go to "driver - network."  It's a little more complicated.  Install the Marvel Yukon Gigabit Ethernet controller driver.  This will allow you to connect to your cable or DSL or your router by Ethernet cable.  You must determine if your particular laptop has an Intel or Broadcom wireless adapter.  Looking in the Device Manager in the "Network adapter" section, you should be able to make this identification.  Install the driver for the appropriate device.  If you believe that your laptop is Bluetooth compatible, install this driver as well.  The HP "wireless Wizard" is optional.  I would delay installing this at this stage.
    • Then go to "Driver - keyboard, mouse and input devices."  Install the Synaptics Touchpad driver and one for the HP Quick Launch buttons.

    At this point, most of your hardware should work correctly.  If there is always warning icons in Device Manager, you should be able to understand... or ask again here.  Read the 'Description' for other downloads to see if this is something you want or need.  Be aware, however, that many "Software" downloads are only updates or patches and not the complete package (which probably would have been preinstalled on a new computer.
