Workstation 7 unable to reserve memory after upgrading the host Windows 8.

I just updated my computer, running VMWare Workstation 7, Windows 8.

Now, when I start a VM, I get a message similar to:

"Not enough physical memory is available to power on this virtual machine with its configured settings.  To resolve this problem, increase the support of physical memory for all the virtual machines to XXX MB or adjust the settings of extra memory to enable more virtual memory machine to be swapped. »

  • In the preferences, memory, my memory 7138 MB reserved for all virtual machines.
  • I chose 'Allow more virtual memory machine to swap'
  • Windows Resource Monitor indicates that I have more than 5 GB of free memory.
  • I tried to upgrade to 7.1.6, but that did not fix the problem.

But I am still unable to start any VM - even one with as little as 128 MB of RAM that are entrusted to him.  These are the same VMS I was used to running on Win7 before the upgrade.

I got the same error. What worked for me was to uninstall, reboot, then reinstall as follows:

1. define the model of compatibility to Setup WinXP SP3 and run as administrator.

2. install by double-clicking on the Setup

3. once the installation is completed, set the compatibility to vmware.exe model also be WinXP SP3 and run as administrator.

On workstation 7 starting, I was then able to start my vms without problem.

VMware Workstation 7.1.6 - 744570. Host is an x 64 i7 - 3520 M with 8 GB of ram running Windows 8 rtm. Administrator account.

  • Satellite 1800: Should I install drivers manually after upgrade OS to Windows XP?

    I've updated the operating system of my laptop Satellite 1800 from Windows 98 (original OS) to Windows XP with Service Pack 1.
    Windows has detected all devices, but I should update the drivers manually by using the drivers download page?

    Windows cannot detect the IP address of the DHCP server. The cables and the server are functioning properly, so this is a situation created by the use of a bad network card driver?

    Hello

    Of course, you must install all Toshiba drivers after installing the original Windows XP.
    If you n t have a CD drivers & utilities, you can download the necessary drivers on the Toshiba site.

    You should check the Device Manager and if you find a yellow exclamation next to the LAN card so I guess that the driver was not installed and you need to install the LAN driver.

  • Workstation Pro 12 will be not client 32-bit Vista autofit then resizes of the host window

    I use 12 Pro Workstation on Windows 7 64 bit.

    I had a VM Vista 32 - bit desktop 11 step, I had put for the prompt automatically resize to fit the host VMware window.

    I upgraded to Workstation Pro 12, open the virtual machine and updated for compatibility of 12 jobs. I started it up and everything was fine with the resizing as a guest before to match the host window.

    Then, I've updated the VMware Tools. And now, if I resize the window host VMware, Vista clients sound USB connect/disconnect bongs, and after a few seconds, the host window snaps back to its previous size.

    It is the only VM 32 bits that I have, but with Windows 7 64-bit and Windows 8.1 VMs version 12 VMware Tools work very well and comments autofit works exactly as it did before.

    All work around (other that the no upgrade VMWare Tools)?

    Thank you

    Alan

    Same thing happened for me (Vista 32-bit). Same guest machine worked well with Workstation 8 but update to hardware of Pro 12 caused the automatic adjustment to stop working for this particular machine. Windows 10 and Windows 8 virtual machines work fine.

    Interestingly, I found that disabling the hardware acceleration of 3D (under the virtual computer screen settings) solved the problem for me - which is something I had to do to solve another problem I had. Not sure if you have improvements 3D accelerated or not, but it can be worth it.

  • What happens to the cleaning after upgrade with Host Update Utility?

    Hello

    I've just updated my esx 3.5 to 4.0 using the host update utility.

    I noticed that in the data store, it is now the iso esx4.0 and an esxconsole-* folder.

    These 2 are always required? or is it safe to remove them after the upgrade? They take a part of the review of the space on the local data store.

    Thanks in advance!

    The .iso file may be deleted.

    But the esxconsole-* file is the COS for COS vmdk.

    If you are unable to delete this folder and you cannot delete the related VMFS data store.

  • Satellite U205-S5002: cannot retrieve the Express Media Player after upgrading the HARD drive

    So I bought just a new Toshiba Satellite U205-S5002 I love it. One of the great features that interest me was the Express Media Player feature.

    My first step was to upgrade the hard disk and 160 GB and 2 GB ram.
    I placed the disk and ram in my old laptop and sold it.

    Before that I did, I made a copy ghosts and ghost of the hard drive to the new drive. Well come to find out...

    Toshiba is not provided with this software preinstalled, so I followed the instructions to burn my recovery disk Express Media Player and the boot on the new disk.
    So this is where the saga begins...

    After 15-20 seconds, I get a soothing blue screen (NOT of blue BSOD you mind) who says:

    /!\
    An error occurred during the recovery of "Express Media Player".
    -------------------------------------------------------
    Please pick up the image again from the beginning.
    Press any key to exit.

    It is typed exactly as it is on the screen. So, I see some other forums saying: you must have the free space of the disk so I resize the partition that allows 200 MB of space. Always the same... then try 2 GB even... then the 50 GB, same problem...

    OK, so obviously not a question of space. I read while I might need to erase the drive... so I delete the partition, this same error... then I run the recovery disk and tell him to wipe the drive, wait 1 1/2 hour, it ends. No dice! So I decide... ok... Well lets try another disk... I have restored my ghost image... and burned the image again... same question... so I decide to the recovery disk and I'll try to reinstall windows in the factory and make a record...

    Well, it does not work as well as you think... the image is incomplete... windows works fine... but the c:\Toshiba\ExpressMediaPlayer folder is empty!

    I'm happy that I have ghosts my original directory. But I decide allows to Express Media Player a shot more now that I have restored to factory... always the same error... I then decide a trial more... I'll erase drive 1.5 hours, I'll restore from toshiba dvd provided but leaving plenty of space at the end 2 GB (I have a lot about people who tell you to base just around 200 MB)

    5 hours later... moment of truth... Well Yes you guessed it... I don't know anything else to try... I have a bad image?
    You need one that I can download what has worked for them for sure? Or have - I have completely found myself by replacing the HDD with after market and which is originally a kind of compatibility issue?

    Thank you in advance.

    Hello

    It s a great story!
    I put t know how to start so maybe first some info on the Express media player.

    As you said, and has already proposed the Express media player has been preinstalled on the second partition.
    If you want to install this media Express on the HARD disk drive, 150-200 MB of free space must be available. This free space must be on the end of the HARD drive and there must be unallocated.
    To get these free space on the HARD disk, 3 third-party products should be used as for example the Partitions Magic 8!

    I'm not going to write a story how to recover the Express media player because Toshiba has already created useful documents, which described complete installation!
    I found these documents in the knowledge base of computer Toshiba:

  • C6150 does not print after upgrading Vista to Windows 7

    Hello.

    I have an AIO C6150, which worked fine under Vista.  Since I've upgraded to Windows 7, I can't get a printout of any application or the windows test print.  The test print HP Solution Center works very well.

    -Printer is connected wireless

    -J' installed the latest driver from HP which is supposed to be ready for Win 7

    -J' have also installed the patch they recommend after upgrade to Vista

    There is no error.  Print job appears briefly in the Print Manager window, then disappears as if it printed.  I am at a loss, any help would be appreciated.

    Paul

    I found my issue as well, with the help of HP technical support.  Basically, it is a conflict between the generic drivers Windows and whole new drivers from HP.  Once that happened, it was a nightmare to get all the 'remains' of these two uninstalled drivers.  Once we did it, we have been able to recharge the HP driver package and everything works fine.
