Installing NT 4.0 In VMware Player?
Feb 5, 2012
i am trying to install nt 4.0 in vmware player with windows 7 home 64 bit system as host. while installing i receive a message during the nt setup that states, "setup has determined thay your computers startup hard disk is new, or have been erased, or that an operating system is installed on your computer with which windows nt cannot coexist".it goes on to state that "continuing may damage or destroy the existing operating system." it continues "if your hard drive is new or has been erased or you want to discard its current content press enter to continue setup."is this a normal message? i saw a Internet video showing the install of nt 4.0 and did not see the author getting this message. my concern is damaging my host os(windows 7) by continuing with the installation.

Months ago I installed VMware player 4.0.2-28060 to install a VM which completed successfully as it should, about a week ago I wanted to update my version of the software. I downloaded and attempted to install 4.0.4-744019 and encountered an error stating that some files could not be found, Does anyone have any idea where I could get the installation package for VMware player 4.0.2-28060? I've searched both google and the VMware site it's self over several times

I have been using vmware player for just a few weeks and have had no problem with network connection up until last week when I did some changes (Windows e-activation and removals using 'Hijack This'. I have obviously deleted lots of stuff I am not suppose to delete as I have had nothing but pc problems ever since. My host machine is Windows XP SP3 Guest OS is Scientific Linux When I go to verify which processes are running it only shows vmnat.exe running but not vmnetdhcp.exe so I try to see if I can install vmnetdhcp.exe but get the pop-up window message "DllRegisterServer entry point was not found".

Anyone know why having the latest VMWare Player installed, makes you click on your user account at the log on screen after bootup on the Host machine without having a password protected account, when if you didn't, would normally just boot into Windows??
I'm thinking maybe since I didn't set up a password with the installation of my guest Win 7 VM..hmm.

I'm about to install Windows 8 preview in a virtual environment (VM ware player). Am I correct if I suppose that no traces are being left within Window 7 if I do so and if I uninstall Windows 8 from within VM ware player at a later time? Is there anything special to be considered?

just downloaded the leaked windows 8 (downloaded the newer better version) and im trying to install in vmware just to have a look at it, i know it has hardly any driver support and is buggy ect.So when i try and install i get the 0x000000D5 error and it asked me to restart.My vmware supports up to windows 7 64bit and apparently the windows 8 installer uses the same architecture, so has anyone been successful installing this via vmware or any other virtual app?

I am doing a clean install using the upgrade DVD but on a virtual machine (on a Mac using VMWare Mac Fusion). Everything goes smooth and as per the tutorial except that once I arrive to the "Windows product key", it does not recognize the product key. I skipped that step and completed all other steps as indicated. However, I was unable to activate my windows 7 (last step) as it mentioned that the product is only for upgrade from older version and not for a clean install.
I do have windows XP copy but I would rather do a clean install.

symptoms: random fps loss here and there during video playback in Internet, as well as flash based games (about 1 or 2 seconds and then goes back to being smooth in what seems to be 20 or 30 second intervals). i'm not sure if this is 100% accurate, but i noticed that fps (frames per second) took a hit after installing sp1 (service pack 1) on windows 7 ultmate 64 bit. i don't know the cause, and i've tried uninstalling and re installing it but no difference. hardware is not an issue, as i just built a new computer with some of the latest hardware.
system specs are as follows:
os: windows 7 ultimate
audio driver: realtek version: 6.0.1.6482 (latest) audio codec: alc892
16 gigs of ddr3 1600 corsair vengeance ram
saphire radeon 6850 hd
western digital caviar black 7200 rpm 1tb
700 watt psu
fx 8150 am3+ 8 cores
asrock 990fx extreme4 am3+ amd 990fx sata 6gb/s usb 3.0 atx amd motherboard
i don't have this issue when i was in windows xp 32/64 bit, and again, symptoms only seemed to start after installing sp1 for windows 7 ultimate 64 bit. broswers tried: ie9, chrome, firefox, safari (safari seems to handle it slightly better, but symptom still present non the less).

I have a vista PC and all my software discs were stolen. I want to upgrade to win 7 but keep my vista drive intact to run in a virtual environment. I intend to keep the vista hard drive and run it on a win 7 machine in a virtual environment. Can I run an external drive with pre installed vista in a virtual machine on windows 7 or is an actual vista instillation required.

I've recently bought a new PC with Windows 7 on it. My old PCI TV card, webcam, scanner etc. won't work on new Windows (6-7 years old devices with no Windows 7 drivers that could be found anywhere on net). Is there any way that I can use my old PCI TV card on new PC using VMWare?
P.S. I bought new PCI TV card, but I just can't get it to work fine [always have to switch between front mic/line in, every 2-3 days i have to scan for channels, can't set the volume level (+/- but it's always the same) etc.]. The new TV card is iNTEX Philips 7130!? Can I make it run on VMWare Windows XP machine?

When I try to join a homegroup from the virtual PC it does not show me the Homegroup of the laptop, instead it prompts me to create a new homegroup. I create a new homegroup with the name HOME (same as the laptop homegoup name). After that the two computers, the laptop and the virtual PC in the laptop do not communicate with each other in the network. Therefore I conclude that somehow there are two different homegroups with the same name, one in the laptop and the other one in the virtual PC.

Just a little hard to find bit of info on increasing the graphics size memory for the virtual SVGA graphics adapter on a Virtual Machine running under vmware products.
The default is only 16 MB (VRAM) which probably isn't enough to get Aero going on a Windows 7 Virtual machine. You need WKS 7 / vmware workstation 3.0 for 3D support in any case.
Solution
Edit the .vmx file with notepad (Open with notepad) and insert this line
svga.vramSize = "sizeInBytes"
I think 64MB is needed for AERO -- mine works with 64MB - but you could try 32.
Vm runs with FULL AERO -- no prob at all.
here's what I added to my .vmx file for a Windows 7 Professional X-64 Virtual machine - look at the last line.
pciBridge7.pciSlotNumber = "24"
scsi0.pciSlotNumber = "160"
usb.pciSlotNumber = "32"
ethernet0.pciSlotNumber = "33"
sound.pciSlotNumber = "34"
ehci.pciSlotNumber = "35"
vmci0.pciSlotNumber = "36"
scsi0.sasWWID = "50 05 05 66 67 3e f6 b0"
vmotion.checkpointFBSize = "134217728"
usb:0.present = "TRUE"
usb:1.present = "TRUE"
ethernet0.generatedAddressOffset = "0"
vmci0.id = "780936453"
usb:1.deviceType = "hub"
usb:0.deviceType = "mouse"
ide1:0.autodetect = "FALSE"
ide1:0.allowGuestConnectionControl = "FALSE"
tools.upgrade.policy = "manual"
scsi0:1.present = "TRUE"
scsi0:1.fileName = "Windows 7_pro x64-0.vmdk"
scsi0:1.redo = ""
floppy0.present = "FALSE"
ide1:0.startConnected = "TRUE"
svga.vramSize = "64000000"
Give it say 64 MB. Don't forget its size in BYTES you have to set -- if you do it wrong then the VM won't power on so backup the .vmx file before messing around with it.

I've installed last week VMware on my laptop with Windows 7 home premium edition (Italian version). Then I've installed XP professional (English version licenced) from my Cd. Everything was going fine. Today I would install an Xp software but on the programm list I cannot find the VMware software, it disappeared, I've looking in the Windows/programs to find an exe file for it without finding one.

I have a Windows 7 64-bit installation disc that I used to install Windows 7 with on my laptop. I am planning on installing Windows 7 on VMWare player with the same 64-bit disc, but as a trial (since my main key is used on the main host/laptop). Will I be able to just run the 30-day trial on VMWare for testing purposes? Also, once the trial ends, can I just delete the virtual machine and make a new windows 7 VM, setting up a 30-day trial again?

Has anyone tried ReadyBoost on a virtual Windows 7 machine on a Mac running VMWare Fusion?
I am running Windows 7 on a Macbook Pro with 8GB of RAM and the Virtual Windows machine really slows everything down globally. I have tried configuring the Windows VR with 2GB, 1.5GB and 1GB of RAM. Configuring the virtual machine with more than 2GB of RAM really slows down the Mac. Hoping that ReadyBoost might improve things.

I am trying to install Windows 7 on a VMware 7 virtual machine, and it is asking for a driver. Windows 7 installs on just about any hardware you can throw at it. I have tried it on an ancient workstation with SCSI drives, and it installs without a problem. The same with serial ATA machines. Under Windows XP you would have to first supply it with a driver.
But now when I try to install Windows 7 on a VMware 7 virtual machine, it won't install. After the preliminary steps of asking for language and localization, it asks for a driver. Any idea why it does that, and what kind of driver it wants, and where I can get hold of one?

For those who want to try out SUSE LINUX 11.4 (KDE version) without hassle of install etc then you can download a vmware version with a lot of apps already installed.The link also gives a few other Linux distro choices. These should also work with VMPLAYER too if you don't have vmware workstation.VMware image and appliance download Use the Bittorrent download to keep the server load bandwidth down -- BTW this is a 100% TOTALLY LEGAL and GOOD use of Bittorrent - all torrents aren't illegal / pirated software. Loads of linux distros are supplied this way as well.(Hope not against Forum rules - but I do know lots of people have an interest in trying out / learning Linux and by running as a VM on Windows seems to me an EXCELLENT way of not only learning about Linux but also discovering the great use of Virtual Machines too).

I was using this product the other day in production at work and noticed that 5.0 was much slower than the 4.x versions of the product. I found that VMWare enabled SSL encryption during the conversion and this slows down the process by 2-3x. A box I used to be able to convert in 4 hours and 50 minutes, took 11 hours and 50 minutes. Anyway, you can easily change the behavior. Navigate to C:ProgramDataVMwareVMware vCenter Converter Standalone and edit the converter-worker.xml file.
Near the bottom, you will find this section: Code: <nfc>
<readTimeoutMs>120000</readTimeoutMs>
<useSsl>true</useSsl>
<!-- Delay is specified in milliseconds, -1 denotes the default.
<acceptTimeoutMs>-1</acceptTimeoutMs>
<requestTimeoutMs>-1</requestTimeoutMs>
[code]......
Then simply restart the VMware vCenter Converter StandAlone worker service.
