I have the same problem (I am on a MacBookPro with Windows XP SP2) with the same blue screen of death - could I also have a copy of the file? I am stumped because I donèt know how to edit my registration files in windows. Why doesn't VMware fix this?

Also I donèt think this question is answered because if you are not a knowledgeable user then you canèt do these things.

Dear WoodyZ:

First of all, i want to thank you for all the help you are giving me. I do understand that you are a product user, and not an VMWare employee.

Once said this, back to my problem. I still haven´t found a solution and still get the BSOD. I attach three files from my system. i8042prt.sys, intelide.sys come from my windows xp sps2. vmware.log comes from Library/application support/vmware fusion/virtial machines/helper/naos-1.0.vmwarevm file.

When i start windows a get a message saying "a driver was not loaded properly, the file was succesfully recovered" (that was a personal translation from spanish to english). And checking on the windows event viewer utility i get a message which i try to translate into english.

“Translation into English”
The following initialization driver did not load properly
I8042prt
IKFileSec

“original message in Spanish”
El controlador de inicialización siguiente no se cargó correctamente:
i8042prt
IKFileSec

Sorry i forgot to mention. I am getting the BSOD and having problems with i8042prt.
I used the patch and now, when i start windows i get a message saying i8042prt didn´t load properly. And of course i still get the BSOD.

The i8042 file in the patch seems to be older than the version i had but i cannot get to include the newr file on driver.cab

Files in the driver.cab file are older then the sp2.cab file for the same reason that files in the sp2.cab file are older then the files in the sp3.cab file.

I assume what you're calling "the patch" is the .cmd and .reg files in the .zip file I attached to one my firts reply in this thread and if so let me sat this about the .cmd script. It works like this...

It looks at the source location for sp3.cab, sp2.cab and driver.cab in that order which is newest to oldest and sets the firts one it finds in that order at the source for the i8042prt.sys and intelide.sys files . If the is the target files i8042prt.sys and intelide.sys do not already exist at the target destanation then they are expanded from the target source to the target destination.

So if the target already existed then it doesn't be overwritten and while I thought about that when I quiclky wrote the script, that was really ment just to help the person I was replying to, I didn't think it would be an issue although anything is possable.

So my suggestion is to look at the properties of the files manually any insure that the lasest version avalable from the source exist at the destanation.

By default that would be:

"%SystemRoot%" normally is "C:\WINDOWS"

Source: i8042prt.sys and intelide.sys in...

"%SystemRoot%\Driver Cache\i386\sp3.cab"
"%SystemRoot%\Driver Cache\i386\sp2.cab"
"%SystemRoot%\Driver Cache\i386\driver.cab"

Destination:

%SystemRoot%\system32\drivers

Will updating to vwmare 2.0 solve any of this issues........

I do not know the absolutest answer to that and as a rule unless a newer version explicitly and specifically address an issue I'm of the school that I do not upgrade until I exhaust all other possibilities.

I am starting to get very angry with this product

Sorry you're having a problem but I'm just a Product User not a VMware Employee so I'm not being paid to deal with someones anger.

Well I can't make it any easier for you then this...

The attached file, Boot_Camp_partition_Virtual_Machine_BSOD_STOP_0x7B_Fix.zip contains three files:

ReadMe1st.txt
Expand_i8042prt.sys_and_intelide.sys_Drivers.cmd
Boot_Camp_Virtual_Machine_i8042prt.sys_and_intelide.sys_Driver_Entries.reg

The files contained in this .zip archive are to be executed while running Windows XP under Boot Camp with the intension of then running the Boot Camp partition as a Virtual Machine.

The .cmd Script was written and tested for Windows XP Only!

This Script expands the intelide.sys and i8042prt.sys files from the appropriate cabinet file to the necessary location.

Note: While Windows XP SP2 is the lowest supported version of XP this Script checks for SP3 and if neither SP3 nor SP2 is found it will expand the files from the Drivers Cabinet.

While running Windows XP under a normal native Boot Camp boot execute (double-click) the .cmd and .reg files and then reboot to OS X and run the Boot Camp partition Virtual Machine.

File removed until I can add version checking and or code a backup routine.

Since you're not getting a BSOD or having a problem finding the i8042prt.sys and intelide.sys files and your error is entirely different then the OP of the thread you just posted to you should create you own discussion thread.

You need to boot back into Boot Camp and in Windows Explorer the file will be in C:\windows\Driver Cache\i386 folder. You can also click on the Windows folder, choose Start > Search > For Files and Folders, then type intelide.sys.

As for the registry, you would open Start > Run > regedit. In regedit, there's an icon for My Computer with items that look like folders, these are called Hives. You navigate the hives like file system folders. The subfolders are called keys and you typically start with the HKEY_Local_Machine hive. Be very careful not to delete any keys. To add new keys right-click to create the new key and right click to add values. The values you add must be of the correct type like DWord, String, etc. and the values entered must be copied verbatim. Making a mistake in the registry may cause you to re-install Windows so this is not usually for "supernewbs".

The Microsoft KB articles above have instructions for making ".reg" file additions to the registry. This is where you copy/paste text from the browser into a notepad file, rename that file to a .reg extension, then double-click the .reg file to import it into the registry. IMO, this is a safer way of editing the registry than manually in regedit.

Are you kidding?

If you are not, I'd suggest to forgo Google & read this thread that you just posted your question in as the answer is right above your question.

The Stop 7B bluescreen is always caused by a missing intelide.sys driver. The most common reason for this is that the "preparation" stage cannot find room in the registry to insert the keys that turn this driver on. Less commonly, the driver might not be found in the driver.cab/sp2.cab files.

Wolf, what do you have in your c:\windows\Driver Cache\i386 folder? We have to do two things:

1) Get intelide.sys (and for mouse/keyboard, i8042prt.sys) into the c:\windows\system32\drivers folder. These files are part of Windows, so we need to get them from your own system--I cannot legally mail them to you.

2) Set the registry keys that instruct these drivers to be loaded when booting up.

I'm sorry you ran into trouble, but this issue can be worked around.

thanks for this. the combination of the registry edits and the two missing files seemed to do the trick.

its a SHAME that this problem has been around so long without being addressed by VMWare. i'm definitely thinking twice before considering another one of their products in the future.

HastaLaVista — Wed, 14 May 2008 15:57:50 GMT

Jim, very helpful. I had the same problem with my MBP & XP SP3. . .

Copying the two drivers you mentioned did the trick! (I'd already applied the reg settings from the Microsoft KB article)

VirtualWolf — Thu, 01 May 2008 00:59:24 GMT

Excellent! i8042prt was already there, but the intelide wasn't. Copied that in, and it's all working fine. Thanks!

VirtualWolf — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 08:09:59 GMT

Aye, I've tried following that. I've looked through the various threads linked from that one you mentioned, and I noticed that the sp2.cab file that's meant to be in the Driver Cache\i386 folder isn't there. I ran through the registry additions in You receive a Stop 0x0000007B error after you move the Windows XP system disk to another computer, that didn't do anything either.

Try editing the Boot Camp virtual machine .vmx file

To find the .vmx file for the Boot Camp virtual machine, go to the virtual machine's package at <your home folder>/Library/Application Support/VMwareFusion/Virtual Machines/Boot Camp/<disk identifier>/Boot Camp partition.vmwarevm. Right-click on the package, choose "Show Package Contents", and open the .vmx file in Text edit make the following changes in .vmx file

scsi0.present = "TRUE"

To

scsi0.present = "FALSE"

I bought a MacBook Air and have installed Windows on it on it (XP SP2), all the Boot Camp drivers are updated to the 2.1 version that came out a few days ago. Boot Camp itself is working beautifully, I've installed Fusion 1.1.2, tried to start it from the Boot Camp partition and it bluescreens. This is all completely freshly installed, too. I've deleted the ~/Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/Virtual Machines folder and Fusion hasn't given any errors during the "Preparing the partition" phase.

Any thoughts? This is the exact same Windows disc that I used on my MacBook Pro about a year ago, and had no problems at all. Thanks!
