Palm problems, no sync

s5mm — Wed, 23 Nov 2005 19:14:09 GMT

Hi all,

After my first inital problems adding com ports, I tried to get my Sony Clie Palm up and running. So far nothing works.

I've searched the forum and found some solutions, like adding the:
usb.generic.skipSetConfig = "TRUE"
line to the vmx file.

Unfortuanetly this doesn't work. The logfile shows me the name of the Sony, so somehow it knows its there.. The first time synching it times out, the second time I get a "Another app is already using the port" error.
Host/Guest OS: WinXP SP2. The host also has Palm Desktop installed, but is not active/running when the VM is running.

Any1 on this, don't get it why this doesn't want to work..

Why isn't the Virtual Machine able to contact the default gateway?

gguest — Tue, 29 Nov 2005 00:35:15 GMT

While my Windows XP host is connected to my work network via Cisco VPN Client 4.0.4(D), the VMWare virtual machines are unable to contact or ping the default gateway when bridged networking is used. This prevents any communication outside of the immediate subnet. I have the VPN Client, plus CyberGatekeeper 3.0, BlackIce 7.0 and Symantec AntiVirus 8.0.1.446 installed and running.

Significant Memory Leak?

Craig Stevenson — Wed, 02 Nov 2005 14:48:54 GMT

I believe there is a significant memory leak in VMware Workstation 5.5. (And also in 5.0.) Is anyone else seeing this?

Here are the steps I used to reproduce the problem:

Open VMware. Monitor memory usage using Task Manager. (It should be stable.)

Open a VM, and login to the guest. (I used Windows 2000 Pro, but I have seen the problem with a DOS VM!) Monitor the memory usage of vmware-vmx.exe. You should see the memory usage increase in 4K blocks every 5 seconds or so. (If you monitor memory usage in the guest, it should be stable. In my case, it actually decreased.)

Over the course of 5 minutes, memory usage by vmware-vmx.exe rose from 305,432K to 307,436K, while memory usage on the guest dropped from 74020K to 67532K. The system has now been running for about 45 minutes, and memory usage by vmware-vmx.exe is up to 313,880K. (Guest usage hasn't changed from 67523K.)

As I stated earlier, this problem is reproducible, and occurs on both Workstation 5.0 and 5.5 Beta. (Guest OS seems irrelevant, occuring on both Windows 2000 Pro and even in DOS.)

Invalid CD-ROM

smwhitman — Tue, 08 Nov 2005 16:35:47 GMT

I just started a WinXP VM and got the following message:

You do not appear to have a valid CR-ROM device. If this is a CD-ROM device, try enabling legacy emulation mode.

My system was set to use Auto-Detect on the CD-ROM. I had been running VCD (Virtual CD) and had an ISO file mounted on that virtual CD. I believe that this is the drive that VMware balked at since the problem went away after I umounted the VCD drive.

I'm not surprised that this failed but I was surpised when I got the above failure message dozens of times. Eventually the only thing I could do was to kill vmware in tast manager. It would be nice to have some way to only display the error once.

VMWare 5.5 Uninstallable on ASUS mobo

dougb99 — Sun, 20 Nov 2005 13:15:53 GMT

Just to say that VMWare 5.5. like 5 , 4.5 ... is uninstallable on an ASUS A8N-Sli mobo with AMD X2 64 4200+ , MS-XP-SP2-KB896256.
You get as far as 'Installing Services' during the install and the machine reboots and continues in a boot-reboot cycle thereafter. Since some people claim ASUS maintains a 20% worldwide market share with over 40 million motherboards shipped this might actually be worth looking into.

Istallation of VMware Tools 5.5 RC1 on Vista 5231 results in errors.

Han — Mon, 31 Oct 2005 10:25:46 GMT

When I install VMware Tools 5.5 RC1 on Windows Vista build 5231 results in several error messages. All look like:

Error 1406. Could not write value InprocServer32 to key \CLSID{xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx}\InprocServer32. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel.

I verified the permissions in that area and it seems that security is tightened in Vista. Even the Administrator has no permissions there and I can't give it permissions as well. I did switch UAP off.
Anybody found a solution for this?

Nokia 9500, Nokia Tools, sync with Desktop under vmware 5.5beta

Marcbot — Tue, 18 Oct 2005 20:09:11 GMT

Hi all,

I'm running vmware 5.5 beta, latest build, on top of RedHat Enterprise Linux, on a Dell Precision 670 workstation (64-bit).

The guest OS is Windows XP SP2. I'm trying to get it to talk to my Nokia 9500 phone, and the Nokia PC suite will do basic operations like push a single address card back and forth, but it will not do operations like synchronize or backup. The error I get says, "A serious error happened during the data transfer. The task could not be completed", for example.

I have applied the USB fix that was mentioned in this thread:

https://www.vmware.com/community/thread.jspa?threadID=23168&tstart=30

and in my config, I have the line:

usb.generic.skipSetConfig = "TRUE"

This has not improved things.

Can anyone shed some light on how to make VMWare's USB emulation work?

Thanks so much!

Install Vista beta 2: unavailable partitions

Niki Lauda — Fri, 11 Nov 2005 20:22:48 GMT

During Windows Vista beta 2 install I choose to create partitions. I try to format the partitions but it's not possible. The partition is 16 Gb. PLease advise.

When I exit the setup, reboot Vmware, Vmware can't find the iso anymore and starts a network DHCP boot. How is this possible?

vmrun revertToSnapshot does not start a reverted machine

Hubert Karl — Tue, 22 Nov 2005 12:18:02 GMT

Hi,

I tried to run the "vmrun.exe revertToSnapshot" command at VMware Workstation 5.5 RC2 (Build 18007).

The command runs without an error and reverts the machine to the given snapshot, but it does not start the Snapshot. I created the snapshot from a running machine, and expected that the machine is running again if the revert command finished.

Instead of this the machine is in Suspend mode after the revertToSnapshot finished. So it does not really revert it to the state it had, when the snapshot was taken.

I would like to use the command line to automatically set back my machines to a defined state each evening. Currently i need to press the start button to bring the reverted machine from suspended mode into the running state. So at the moment this is useless for me, as i cannot press the button in an automated script.

I also tried to start the machine using the command "vmrun start" after "vmrun revertToSnapshot" finished. But here i got the error message:
"Error: Cannot lock VM: ..."

How should this feature work? Do i have to use a sequence of "vmrun revertToSnapshot" and "vmrun start" or should the "vmrun revertToSnapshot" bring the machine back to the running state?

Does anybody else have the same problems with this command?

Best Regards,
Hubert Karl

VMware hangs

GT_Fish — Tue, 22 Nov 2005 03:25:55 GMT

I'm running VMware Workstation 5.5.0 build-18007 on a Debian GNU/Linux system and have recently experienced a few situations where VMware hangs. The problem occurs when I click the browse button to attach an ISO image to a CD drive.

The most recent hang occured after I had deleted a virtual machine (Solaris 9) and had created a new machine with the same name. The log in the /tmp/vmware-* directory shows:

Slow Startup Times

adamhill — Wed, 23 Nov 2005 15:29:29 GMT

Anyone know why 5.5 takes sooooo long to start up. I am experiencing > 1 minute startup times.

I noticed this behavior across all my testing machines. At first I attributed it to debug code in the betas, but now that the RC's are out I would expect it to start up much faster.

Any idea's?

Wrong (one week in future) date for version 18463 on website

dave.english — Thu, 24 Nov 2005 10:33:49 GMT

<http://www.vmware.com/download/ws/> says:

"Latest Version: 5.5 | 11/29/05 | Build 18463"

but 29 November is not until next week!

I would imagine the later download page is closer to the mark, saying:

"Latest Released Version: 5.5.0 | 11/22/05 | 18463 | 84.1MB"

64-bit host support suggestion.

whateley — Fri, 04 Nov 2005 21:33:07 GMT

I think you guys need to make the CPU support issue very clear, in user terms, not as a footnote. Also, a program to test the CPU is not useful, unless you already have the machine! Yes the answer was available on the beta site, but I would have been very unhappy if I bought a machine to use 64-bit support to find that I couldn't get it working.

I am one who overlooked the stepping requirement for the Opterons. Was it my mistake? Yes. Is VMware partially responsible? As somebody who built a new dual opteron server last week, only to find the CPU's don't support 64bit VMware... I think yes.

The problem seems to be that for those of us concerned about cost/benefit, the E4 stepping cpu's seem to be largely unavailable! At the moment, we build mostly 246 based dual CPU machines, since the cost increases beyond that are just too steep for most uses. And the dual cores are very expensive! The problem is that there are very few, if any, 0.09 micron actually available at the moment. If the warning had been more specific, large and clear; stating that currently available CPUs may not be compatible. I'd have taken the time to hunt down a pair of suitable 246s!

If I replace one of the CPU's in my desktop with a E4 stepping CPU, will VMware work? (Linux 2.6.12-12 smp kernel)

Thanks,
Brendon.

Ghost 10

wondermike — Mon, 14 Nov 2005 18:39:19 GMT

Thanks.

Hotplugging CD/DVD's When Setting Up a VM

adamhill — Wed, 23 Nov 2005 18:40:19 GMT

VMWare 5.5 RC2 does not seem to recognize new CD/DVD drives when you hot plug one into the Host OS.

Only the old drives are visible in the virtual CDROM's "Use physical drive" drop down combo box, when you try and edit a VM's settings. It is also not visible from a running VM if you Edit from the CD icon in the lower right. 'Auto-select' only picks up the old drive letters as well.

You have to shut down and restart VMWare for it to pick up the new drive.

System Crash

LordRayden — Tue, 22 Nov 2005 13:57:09 GMT

Hi all,

today I got my 5.5 Beta, when I try to install it comes to the point "Installing VMnet1" and then it crashes my System. I cant even reboot normally I have to go to "safe mode" und restore my system to a point where no vmware was installed.

My System:
AMD 64 4800+ X2
2GB RAM
400GB (RAID 1, S-ATA)
XP Pro SP2, all updates (32Bit)
2GB Pagefile

What can I do?

Thanks

Importing fat16 W95 sv2i image fails with error message

jasee — Wed, 23 Nov 2005 14:46:23 GMT

I'm trying to import a sv2i image of W95 into a virtual machine. The image is of a W95 bootable hard disk (I've checked it does boot!). The failure is could not detect boot disk' and in the log file there's reference to a boot.ini file (which obviously doesn't need to exit, this is W95 alone). I've tried adding a boot.ini file! but this doesn't work! (workstation gets really confused)
I've imported fat16 sv2i images of NT4 in, so I think I've got the method right.
Anyone else tried this succesfully with W95,98, or ME without a boot.ini file ie not dual booting?

Help!

chazzbo2 — Sat, 19 Nov 2005 01:32:22 GMT

I am the first to admit that I am a Linux tyro.

I had release candidate 1 very sucessfully running SUSE 9.3 under WinXP 64.

Then RC2 came out. I installed it, amd all seemed OK, but the notice bar told me that my VMWare tools was obsolete. So, OK, I installed the new version of VMWare tools. Subsequrntly, it booted up in text mode!

So, (yes, I have the beta spirit) I reinstalled the entire Suse Linux 9.3 in the VMWare emulator. It was OK initially, but when I installed VMWare tools, it gave me a TWM login screen, and one I logged in, I couldn't do anything. (OK, so I admit, I could look up my 10-YO documenation, but is this wnat you want to market?)

So, I decided to go the other way. I downloaded the Linux RPM of VMWare when booted up under Linux. I launched it, and alll seemed OK. I then tried to launch VMWare, and it told me I had to run vmware-config.pl. I did so from a terminal, and it showed me the license stuff, but gave me no idea how to accept it!

I count myself as a semi-savvy tyro. If you can't make it acceesible to me, you better forget about ant broad market!

Support for custom screen resolutions? (1024x600)

namreblis — Mon, 21 Nov 2005 15:56:07 GMT

Can anyone give me a hand setting a custom screen resolution in the guest operating system? I am running on a JVC 841 laptop with a physical screen resoltion of 1024x600. The Linux host operating system sees it fine, and the guest Win XP can do lots of vitual resolutions (800x600, 1024x768, and up), but the only full screen resolution I can do is 800x600, with 2 large black stripes on the side. The computer will physically not support 1024x768 video, and the VMWare SVGA display adapter does not list 1024x600 as a viable display resolution. Is there any way to edit that list and insert a new resolution?

Add Hardware button grayed out, cannot add serial port to guest

s5mm — Mon, 21 Nov 2005 23:18:58 GMT

Hi,

I'm running 5.5.0 build 18007, and I'm unable to add a serial port to the guest OS. The Add hardware button is grayed out. I've been searching through the posts, but could find a working answer...

I want to test my Sony Clie Palm with VMWare, but this can only be done with USB emulation through a serial port, as in "real life OS"
WinSP in the guestOS is telling me they're are installed and working.

cheers for any tips, but keep in mind I'm a VMWare newbie (been on the dark side -MSVPC- too long.....)

Problems with 64bit compatibility on 3500+

MichaelWayneHarwood — Sat, 19 Nov 2005 23:47:05 GMT

I have an AMD64 3500+ and the WMware-guest64check-5.5.0-18007 executable reports that my CPU is not compatible with VMware's 64bit support. I used http://fab51.com/cpu/guide/opn-64-e.html to cross reference my CPUID (1, FF0) and according to this website my CPU's revision meets the minimal requirements (DH-D0). Can someone please explain to me why the utility states I am not compatible when I seem to meet the requirements?

Thanks in advance!

I'd like VMware WS to import Acronis-images as well as v2i images. Considering that Acronis is the only competitor to LSR (and a much better tool) it would be nice not to discriminate.

And yes, there are other P2V/V2V/V2P tools, but none of them kan do live images of running servers.

What OS must the Host run for 64bit guest

ehinkle — Mon, 21 Nov 2005 03:41:29 GMT

What version of OS does the host computer have to run inorder to use 64 bit guest? Can I have windows XP installed as a host and run 64 bit windows in a guess?

Why Athlon 64 fails cpu test

I ran the 64 bit guess check and it shows that my processor is not supported. I have an AMD 64 and I thought it was a rev F which would be higher then the D rev listed on the web page. I have copied the cpuid info below:

Observations and Suggestions

dasunst3r — Sun, 20 Nov 2005 07:38:59 GMT

I just got started playing with VMware, and there are a few comments I would like to make. Before I do, though, here's my system specs:

Dell Inspiron 6000D
Pentium M 2.0 GHz
512 MB DDR2 400 MHz
SUSE Linux 10.0
VMware 5.5

Suggestions:
Support for: 3D rendering, wireless networking, USB 2.0, and IEEE1394

I have also made the following observation:
CPU allocation seems to be depending on disk I/O. If such a dependency exists, it needs to go!

5.5 Upgrade Cost ??

webx36 — Sun, 20 Nov 2005 20:42:15 GMT

Hi,

I'm new to this forum.

I was wondering if anyone knows the upgrade cost from Workstation 5.0 to 5.5 when it becomes final release ?? Any idea for the final release date ??

The workstation 4 to 4.5 was a FREE upgrade. I'm truely hoping 5.5 will be a FREE upgrade !!

Anybody has any experience on AMD X2 core, such as multi-thread support, increase speed on the Guest OS especially when running multiple Guest OS running at the same time.

Thanks....

Solaris 10 dvd.iso won't boot

edoe — Sun, 20 Nov 2005 17:23:56 GMT

Hello,
I try to install Solaris 10 x86 (32-bit) on my Windows XP under VMware 5.5b.
Now I got the ..dvd.iso file from Sun and connected it to the CD-device in VMware setup. Next I went into Bios-menu and changed the boot order to CD-ROM first.
But the system still tries to boot from a 'AMD .. network device' and fails.
Starting the 'boot menu' and choosing the CD-ROM yields the same result.
What's going wrong?

Thanks for hints!

Networking problems with latest FC4 kernel with XP guest

sainio — Sun, 20 Nov 2005 07:15:22 GMT

Hi

For a moment I had huge problems with networking running Windows XP Pro guest on a Fedora FC4 host. This happened about the time I started testing RC2. First I suspected that my XP had gotten a virus or something as Ad-Aware hang suddenly when doing register scan and accessing network drives from the host also was almost unusable.

When trying a copy of the virtual machine on an other Fedora installation however, I found it working just fine. The problems turns to be the difference between 2.6.13-1.1532_FC4 and 2.6.14-1.1637_FC4, where the first one works just fine but with the second fails miserably with at least bridged networking.

Any ideas?

madwifi-ng driver and wireless bridging within VM 5.5

dbrenken — Sat, 19 Nov 2005 22:20:47 GMT

Hi,
I've set up the atheros hardware in my IBM T41 with the new madwifi-ng driver (latest svn checkout) together with wpa2 support (latest wpa_supplicant cvs checkout). With linux all wireless things runs fine, but vmware-config.pl didn't find any valid ath0 device!?

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Notes field keeps resetting

Buggrit — Thu, 17 Nov 2005 12:10:03 GMT

I just tried to place some notes against a cloned Win2k Server machine (not running) It seemed that whenever I started a new line in the notes, The cursor jumped back to the 1st character position in the field, causing overwriting of what had been previously typed. Not a big bug but annoying

problem using cl on linux host

harryn4484 — Tue, 15 Nov 2005 21:57:36 GMT

I am using SUSE 9.2 host to run WinXp guest OS.
I installed VMWare 5.5 RC2 over 4.5 allowing the installation to uninstall the previous version.

Now I cannot start the OS using the CL

vmware -x -q <path to vmx>

VMware starts but the Os is not started as it used to with VMware 4.5

Also vmrun seems pretty inoperative the only thing I can achieve is to stop a running session.

Has anybody also run into this. VMware runs fine when used from the GUI.

Thanks

Lost snapshot when added second percistant drive

mjm70 — Thu, 17 Nov 2005 18:45:53 GMT

Is this a function of the software or a Bug?

I have an XP host with an XP guest. I added in a second scsi hard drive and defined it as independant percistant. Now I do not have the ability to take a snapshot of the server when it is running. It only works when the machine is in a shutdown state.

In reading the text that comes with independant disks, it states that these disks are independant from a snapshot. It doesn't say anything about not being able to take a snapshot when the machine is live.

Is this opperating correctly or is this an error?

Problem in "virtual network editor"

CarstenSchuette — Thu, 17 Nov 2005 21:53:31 GMT

Hi,

I have installed build 18007 on windows xp professional, sp2. i opened the "virtual network editor" and removed all entries from "host virtual adapters", "dhcp" and "nat". on the "host virtual network mapping" only "vmnet0" is set to a network adapter, all others are not bridged. i clicked on "apply".

Now the summary still shows two items for VMnet1 and VMnet8. Even a reboot does not help.

I saw that the network devices were removed from window's device manager, so i wonder why VMnet1 and VMnet8 are still shown in the summary.

What's wrong?

Windows Server 2003 x64 (guest) Windows XP Pro--AMD64 3200+(host)

Why doesn't it work? It is not supposed to? I've heard reports that you can do that and NOT need a 64-bit host.

The VM tells me that I need a 64-bit host. Well...no I don't and I do have a 64-bit proc.

Vista 5231 and VMWare Tools

Athena — Thu, 10 Nov 2005 21:18:35 GMT

Is there some sort of secret to getting the VMWare tools installed into a Vista VM? I had a lot of mouse "issues" with VMware 5.0 so I followed a suggestion to upgrade to 5.5 (18007) and see if the tools were any better. Now though, I find that I can't update the tools at all -- the Administrator doesn't have sufficient access.

What's the deal here? I did see another thread that advised us to just ignore the error messages but I quit after clicking ignore 8-10 times.

Thanks.

Lotus Notes 7 Install

richardc — Tue, 01 Nov 2005 12:25:41 GMT

Hi All,

Has anyone tested Lotus Notes 7 (Domino) server install on VMWare 5.5 Build 16958?

I can get Lotus Notes 6.5 server to install and work fine. If I use VMWare 5.0 Lotus Notes 7 installs and runs fine, but if I use 5.5 with Windows 2003 enterprise server it gives a blue screen with hgfs.sys error after configuring Domino.

Its is part of a team using their own LAN. The is made up of Active Directory server (Win2K3), the Lotus Notes Server (Win2K3) and a single Windows XP client.

If I upgrade a stand alone image from 5.0 to 5.5, after Lotus Notes has been ran at least once, it works fine. Only on a fresh install does it gives the blue screen.

Regards

Richard...

Problems with ISA 2004 Firewall Client in Guest

barryk — Wed, 16 Nov 2005 17:50:17 GMT

Host - XP Pro SP2
Guest - XP Pro SP2
VMWare Wrkst - 5.5.0 b18007

I have observed a problem where the guest has the Microsoft ISA 2004 Firewall Client installed and Winsock communication is failing. Normally the Firewall Client 'intercepts' non http-based communication but running in a VM the FWC is producing an error. The FWCTool.exe provided by microsoft to troubleshoot issues with the client claims that Winsock providers are not properly installed. The Firewall Client runs properly on a physical machine in the same AD Domain. Anyone else tired this scenario?

Bart Pe problem with rc2 (still)

jasee — Wed, 09 Nov 2005 09:04:36 GMT

The problem with Bart PE is that everyones version is likely to be unique. I'm just posting this to ask whether anyone else has a similar problem.

You can create two Barts one is XP based, the other is 2003 based. I have both
On a real machine, I have no problem running either version. On a 2003 virtual machine, I have to use the 2003 based bart. This has continued with RC2. The XP based bart stops at the same point loading the display adapter and gives the usual error message about lsilogic_monitor.c.555. Its reproducable.

I'm just asking whether anyone else has noticed this?

Sound plays too fast with Win98SE guest on WinXP host

Rtaylor — Sun, 06 Nov 2005 00:44:34 GMT

The host is a PIII 833Mhz machine with WinXP sp2. It has an Intel 82801AA AC'97 Audio Controller under devices.

I downloaded the soudblaster PCI drivers and installed them on the Win98SE guest as instructed in other posts. Sound works but is way too fast. The Win98 startup wav file sounds like a blip. MIDI songs are not quite as bad but still sound accellerated. I have patched the 98SE guest as much as possible and have the latest direct X.

I tried messing around with the sound settings (hardware acceleration slider for example) on the guest and it didn't seem to affect anything. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Poor 64-bit guest performance on Linux (host) and OpenBSD (guest)

ssehic — Tue, 15 Nov 2005 15:10:36 GMT

While testing the new WS 5.5 RC2, I found the performance on a 64-bit guest running OpenBSD 3.7/amd64 rather poor. (I know, OpenBSD is not official supported).

When the guest first boots, it's working fine (and fast), but as soon as I put it under load, it crawls down to it's knees. It's still responsive, but extremley slow. When the guest is idle for sometime (a couple of minutes) it seems to restore itself to the normal speed.

The odd thing is though, that 32-bit OpenBSD 3.7 guest runs and works like a charm on the same configuration.

Host OS is Linux Centos 4.2 which is basically a RedHat ES 4.0, AFAIK.

The hardware is Athlon64 3200+ w/ 1GB of RAM. SATA disk.

I didn't notice anything "unusual" in the vmware.log, but it's posted below for the curios.

Any pointers?

Scrolling in Snapshot Manager

arnoldus — Tue, 15 Nov 2005 08:41:30 GMT

Dear VMware Workstation programmers,

It would be very nice if you could use the scroll-wheel on the mouse in the Snapshot Manager screen.
If you have a lot of snapshots that does not fit in the screen, you can only scroll with the side-bar and not with the scroll-wheel.

Thanks in advance.

Greetings from the Netherlands,
Arnoldus

Ultra, Extra Slow Guest?

whateley — Sun, 13 Nov 2005 21:28:48 GMT

I've got a Guest which was running WinME and I'm upgrading it to WinXP-Pro. (Ok long story with bad ISO on MSDN disk!)

Since I started the upgrade, the host seems to run extremly slowly. The VMware log file is slowly growing with many many entries like these:
Nov 13 13:18:03: vcpu-0| SEG_SS 1254 count=395999999
Nov 13 13:18:07: vcpu-0| SEG_SS 1254 count=396999999
Nov 13 13:18:11: vcpu-0| SEG_SS 1254 count=397999999
Nov 13 13:18:16: vcpu-0| SEG_SS 1254 count=398999999

Things are still moving forward, but in ultra slow motion. Strangely, if you do get to manipulate a window, it behaves normally - until you press "next" at which time things get slow again...

From the process table I see that vmware-vmx is using about 98% System time on one CPU. VmSize = 1519876, VmRss=1078908.

The machine details are:
2.6.12-12mdksmp x86_64 AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 246 GNU/Linux

Ideas?
Brendon.

5.5rc2 on multi-monitor-desktop

CarstenSchuette — Sun, 13 Nov 2005 13:32:53 GMT

hi,

i have two monitors on two different graphic cards. one graphic card is agp, one is pci. the pci card is the system's primary card. the screen resolution of the pci card is 1024x768, the resolution on the agp card is 1280x1024. both are running in 32bit color mode. i use windows xp professional, sp2.

i run windows xp in vmware machine. the virtual machine's desktop is also set to 1024x768.

when i run a virtual machine on the 1024x768 monitor and press f11 for quick switch mode, then i get scroll bars to scroll the client window. why? 1024x768 should fit into 1024x768.

when i run a virtual machine in full screen mode the mouse cursor is exclusive to this machine. why? my desktop is larger, the mouse could move out on the right side of the machine (to the next monitor).

GSX console dies after upgrade to 5.5rc2

Hans de Bruin — Sat, 12 Nov 2005 16:38:09 GMT

After I upgraded from 5.5 beta to 5.5 rc2 on xp64 my GSX console no longer starts.

connecting USB harddisk hangs guest for about 15 minutes...

TheMoonman — Wed, 02 Nov 2005 15:57:54 GMT

HI all,

currently evaluating VMWare 5.5 RC1 to see if does what I'm hoping for. So far so good but now I've ran into a little problem, which I cannot seem to fix myself and I wonder if it moght be a bug or it is something else that I'm overlooking.

Currently I have a Windows XP SP2 host and guest setup.
When I attach my Maxtor OneTouch I 160Gb USB drive to the host everything works normally. After I want to connect the drive to the guest with VM->Removable Devices->USB Devices-> Maxtor USB Device the following happens.

1) The host says that the device can be safely removed (OK)

2) The guest detects the connecting of the drive but first cmes with a warning stating "This device can perform faster". As it is a USB 2.0 device connected to a VMware's USB 1.0 controller this is to be expected (OK)

3) Then the icon shows up in the bottom right corner indicating that a removable device was attached and when I hover the mouse over it it states "safely remove hardware" (?)

The next thing that I expect to happen is that a new drive is recognised and added to my explorer. Afterwards hovering the mouse over the icon should specify the new drive letter aswell.

However, the above does not happen until I wait for like 15 minutes or so. After that time the drive is suddenly initialized and a drive letter is allocated. Here on after the drive works as expected.

Between attaching the drive and its initialization after 15 minutes the guest is not working correctly and seems to partly hang. E.G., if I try to start IE or the disk manager program nothing happens. After the drive is initialized then these programs suddenly start up.

Here is what I tried to find out what was wrong.

I added the option usb.newcore="FALSE" to see if it helps...but to no avail

I also tried to run it in a debug session to see if anything was in the logfile but when I did that vmware crashed out with an ASSERT as soon as i attached the USB drive to the guest.

and so I ended up here in the hope that someone here can explain what might be the culprit.

P.S. Another person also seems to have this same problem with a maxtor drive and earlier version of VMware. His post (which I replied to aswell) can be found here:

VMware player beta 2 (18007) causes frequent host reboots on nforce4

Randy73 — Fri, 11 Nov 2005 17:47:53 GMT

Hello,
I'm not sure where to post this, but I recently installed the VMWare player beta 2, build 18007, on my main PC (the link on the download page links to the old one by the way, not to 18007). I copied a windows 2000 virtual machine from my VMWare 5.0 server and attempted to run it.
I had some issues with the network. It would not connect at first, but after changing the host name in the VM, and playing with some network settings, it worked.
The issue I had was that after about three minutes running the virtual machine, the host computer would simply reboot. No blue screen or anything. It just rebooted. When the host OS came back up, it sent an error report to Microsoft and the Microsoft web site told me it was a 'driver issue'.
After this happened four times, I uninstalled the VMWare player. I'll try it again when the next build comes out.
It didn't matter what I was doing in the VM or on the host, but I do recall that it wasn't rebooting/crashing like this before I had the network working from within the VM.

Computer info: NForce 4 chipset, 1GB memory, NVidia GeForce 6600 GT, Sound blaster Audigy 2 ZS. The NVidia firewall was enabled during two of the reboots, and disabled during the other two.

Does anyone else have the VMWare player working with an NForce 4 chipset?

Thanks,
Randy

FreeBSD 6.0 on WinXPPro

xanne — Mon, 14 Nov 2005 06:56:35 GMT

Update--installation of vmware tools on a guest FreeBSD 6.0 requires installation of the FreeBSD port compat5x

Question: I was invited by email to test 5.5 beta. I'm curious--will it continue to run indefinitely, or will I have to either buy 5.5 (I don't own 5.0, although I have a license for a couple of earlier versions), or else run the virtual machine in
VMWare Player?

Cannot clone from a snapshot

pmd — Sat, 12 Nov 2005 18:49:39 GMT

What controls the clone from a snapshot functionality?

In both Clone machine and Snapshot manager right-click menu the clone from snapshot is greyed out even though I definitely do have snapshots!

Version 5.5.0 build-18007
Host is Linux FC4, Guest is Win2kserver.

I assume this works for other people since no-one else has reported it in the forum.

I also tried the template mode on but still does not offer me the clone from snapshot option.

caturing screenshots

seridan — Sun, 13 Nov 2005 07:21:48 GMT

I would like to have the possibility. To capture the screen in the same way that the movie capture works. But instead of getting avi movies (with omit frames where nothing occurs enabled) . I would like to get a number of jpg or png pictures that i could easily use, for Internet pages or for making help documentation with a lot of pictures.

Network temporarily going offline from a WIn XP host. (offline files).

swinster — Tue, 08 Nov 2005 15:32:19 GMT

Hi,

I have been using Beta 1 of VMWare 5.5 on a Win XP SP2 host in a Win 2000 domain using DNS resolution, no WINS. The guests were also Win XP SP2.

I noticed they other day that the host machine seemed to constantly loose network connectivity to the domain controller. The host would get the network bubble up stating "offline files - you are currently working offline". Clicking on this bubble and then synchronising the file seemed to get everything back to normal again.. The strange thing was that not all network activity stopped. The host could continue to download and browse the internet, of which all traffic is passed through the domain controller as it also acts as a proxy server and router.

The host receive system log entry 8021 and 8032, which seemed to point towards the NetBIOS over TCP protocol. Whether this is the right thing to do or not, we disabled the NetBIOS over TCP on both the hosts internal NIC and VMWares virtual NICS. After doing this we have not received any further offline messages.

Is this a known issue? Does this seem a sensible resolution (of course not for those that still rely on WINS for name resolution but then why have DNS?).

W2k Workstation install on XP

pjamme — Fri, 11 Nov 2005 21:17:59 GMT

Ok I was able to install this version without having to do a system restore on my XP Pro 2GB computer, good.
I created a Netware 6.5 SP4a server with out a problem and then decided I need a workstation to access it. First I tried XP and it gave me a warning about requiring activation and possibly messing up my current activation, so I chickened out and tried W2k.
I get another warning here:
Setup has determined your computer's startup hard disk is new or has been erased, or your computer is running an operating system that is incompatible with windows 200. (I always thought they were both NTFS)
If the hard disk is new or has been erased, or you wan t to discard its current contents, you can chose to continue setup. (No Way!)
If your computer is running an operating system that is incompatible with Windows 2000, continuing Setup may damage or destroy the existing operating system.
to continue setup, press C. CAUTION: Any data currently on your computer's startup hard disk will be lost.
To quit Setup, press F3. (It's F3 Time for sure).

Granted I only did a cursory search of the help files for what to do and didn't find anything. So, that I why I am here. Should I not worry and hit the big "C" it is virtual After all isn't it?

FreeBSD 6-RELEASE Failure on 5.5 RC2

jwballan — Thu, 10 Nov 2005 12:27:56 GMT

I was running FreeBSD as a guest on win 2k 5.5 rc1, when I upgraded to
5.5 rc2 (build 18007) it fails to start with:

Operation on file "\\.\PhysicalDrive0" failed (Disk sector size check failed).
If disk "\\.\PhysicalDrive0" resides on a remote filesystem, please make sure your network connection and the server where this disk resides are functioning properly.
The current session will terminate.
VMware Workstation cannot sync with disk before abort. Disk \\.\PhysicalDrive0 may be inconsistent.

With RC1, I was getting messages about the clock going backwards.

Any ideas on what is going on, the startup failure is critical.

Redhat AS 4.0 host - W2003 guest binds to vmnet0 but RHAS 4 guest wont

AllenL — Mon, 07 Nov 2005 23:02:41 GMT

I'm running RedHat AS 4.0 2.6.9-11smp on a Dell Poweredge 1800.

The network goes over one of the dual ports on the Intel MT1000 card.

VMWare Workstation 5.5 build 18007 for Linux is running on top of RHAS4.

Two guests, one Windows 2003 and another RedHat AS 4.0.

For some reason the Windows 2003 will bind to vmnet0 and I get network fine. I am able to use Remote Connection to get to that guest OS.

However, my RedHat guest is able to see the net, gateway, use Konqueror to browse the net but problem is I cannot ssh to the RedHat guest.

I keep getting no route to host error.

vmnet0 is bridged to eth0 on the host.
vmnet1 is hostonly.

Thats the only two nets configured.

Any ideas?

I even tried build 18007 now and it is still not working.

Importing MS Virtual Server Machines - error if you do not merge disks

mikeeberhart — Thu, 10 Nov 2005 15:27:44 GMT

I encountered errors during the VMWare 5.5 Workstation (latest RC) IMPORT feature when attempting to import Microsoft Virtual Server (MSVS) machines.

The Importer will fail almost instantaneously after starting the import process if you try to import an MSVS machine that uses .vhd (Virtual Hard Disks) that are "layered". The Error log will say things about: unable to read disk file or bad format or something like that (whole bunch of errors) -- nothing to lead you to the answer that the import failed only because you need to merge the MSVS .vhd (disks) prior to import.

E.g., if you have a MSVS virtual-machine/disk that you use as a "parent/base" Windows-2003 configuration, and you have another "child" machine that is based on the "parent" machine, VMWare will error during the attempt to import the child-machine, UNLESS you merge the disks in MSVS before attempting the import of the child. Then, it seems to work fine.

So, what worked rather well (to keep all my "parent" and "child" machines intact during import), was to start at the "top" and import my Base-Windows-2003 machine into VMWare. Then, I went into my child machine in MSVS and merged the child with the parent machine in MSVS -- then, I import the newly merged "child" into VMWare.

I also noticed similar crypic error-logs during import if the paths to the .vhd files (within the MSVS .vmc config files) were incorrect.

A side note: VMWARE VIRTUAL MACHINES RUN FAST compared to MSVS!! My imported Virtual machines run many times faster than under MS product! I am so glad a friend told me about VMWare being far superior. The machine speed differences (on same server) are like a 386 machine (using MSVS) compared to a Pentium-4 (using VMWare). That is how much speed increase I am seeing! WOW! I am definitely buying this product!

My time is currently 20 minutes behind the host. The VM seems to be running slow, is this because this is a debug VM or ?

Carlos Camargo — Thu, 10 Nov 2005 01:22:53 GMT

Since I installed WS 5.5 (rc 1 & 2) I can´t syncronize Palm Tungsten T3. I´m using WinXP (guest) on Suse9.3 (host).

I tried enable/disable automatic connection with USB, without any result.

The log messages when I push the button to syncronize is:

New release candidate (build 18007) now released

jasee — Tue, 08 Nov 2005 07:48:42 GMT

Just informing others, as it wasn't clear to me that this was an actual new new release of 5.5 RC, that this is a new release (Build 18007), the earlier one was 16958.
IIRC the old one was set to expire sometime this month anyway.
New features are here:

http://www.vmware.com/support/ws55/doc/releasenotes_ws55.html

It seems that the virtual machine importer has also been changed (if you need it).
New serial nos are required & automatically sent to testers.

Sound too quiet in guest OS

Mike Shappell — Sat, 01 Oct 2005 15:54:29 GMT

On the host, I have the sound all the way down. In the guest I have the sound all the way up and it is just audible. This issue was present in the last beta and the RC.

Guest OS Runs Too Fast

nickretallack — Wed, 09 Nov 2005 21:26:52 GMT

My host is Ubuntu 5.10 Breezy, and I'm running Windows 2000 and Windows XP as virtual machines. Both of them have the same problems-- their concept of time is too fast.

If I don't set time sync, the time on my windows taskbar gets far ahead of where it should be. Animated gifs animate at double speed, download estimates are doubled but the seconds go by twice as fast. Flash animations run at the proper speed, but scripted flash games play double speed. 2D DirectX games go double speed and flicker very badly. Some of them refuse to start--
Maple Story says "Failed in finding proper screen mode for Gr2D"

My host hardware is a laptop with a pentium M 1.7ghz processor, 1gb ram. My graphics chipset is "Intel Extreme Graphics 2" (855), which caused problems in some games in a real windows install, but not these games.

Any advice on how to fix this?

Time synchronization fast

pier1340 — Tue, 08 Nov 2005 15:10:38 GMT

I have upgraded to VMware5.5 Release Candidate 2

Since I notice that my time synchronization is not functioning correctly
I have vwware-toolbox set to synchronize with the host but the guest Linux CentOS 4.1 is now running fast on its clock

With Release Candidate 1, this wa not the case.

Any guess as to why ??

Thanks

Laptop Widescreen display not available in Windows XP x64 Pro

pointreyes — Wed, 09 Nov 2005 05:47:35 GMT

It appears that the best resolution I can get in VMWare 5.5 RC2 with the OS mentioned in the subject is 1024x768 on my laptop's 15.4" widescreen display. This is very annoying because the lost of valuable real estate on the display hinders me in using the OS. Is there any solution available now or will be coming the future?

Slow cursor behaviour

SanderStuurwold — Tue, 08 Nov 2005 23:47:42 GMT

Hello,

I am running VMWare 5.5 RC2 (also I did run RC1) on SUSE 10 as a host. This host is a Compac Presario laptop with a 1.73 GHz Centrino proc and 1GB RAM. My guest OS is windows 2003 server enterprise edition, running on an external 7200 rpm harddisk trough high speed USB (480Mbit). I allocated 700MB RAM for this. It runs pretty fast, but...

the problem is that in my guest OS my cursor is slow when using my arrows, with or without the shift button (selection). It is in RC2 less slow than in RC1. Writin text is full speed. Does anyone have the same problems or can anyone tell me what my problem is? Thanks in advance.

Guest OS (Win2K) Hangs in VMWare 5.5 build-18007

UnixVRules — Wed, 09 Nov 2005 20:40:26 GMT

I'm using VMWare build 18007, Host Os Win XP Home SP2, Guest OS Win2K SP4.

After some use, the Guest OS will hang. I've noticed that it occurs around network or sound event. It might also have to do with Guest OS focus.

It's locking up pretty often. The past 2 times that I've concentrated on figuring out what was occuring, an MSN IM message was sent to the Guest OS. After that, the Guest OS screen stops updating and I cannot perform any input (mouse, keyboard) to the guest OS.

The last time, I had more detailed debugging on (attached) -- it stopped responsing at 15:25:59 with the last message of "[Vmdb_set] Stale data for path /vm/..../mks/focusEvent/ (current value '0' -> new value '1') [72->72]"

After that, I have to power cycle it. I had tried setting the input priority high, but that didn't seem to change the behavior.

Anybody have any suggestions?

Here's the the vmware.log:

Error with Shared Folders

roverwolf — Fri, 30 Sep 2005 05:15:35 GMT

Has anyone else run into the problem of accessing shared folders after upgrading to the Linux VMWare workstation 5.5 beta?

After upgrading to 5.5 beta I can no longer access the "Shared Folders" network drive from the Windows XP Pro guest OS.

The error I get is
An error occurred while reconnecting Z: to \\.host\Shared Folders
VMWare Shared Folders: The request is not supported.
This connection has not been restored.

Shared folder in VMware player

martyouel — Wed, 09 Nov 2005 17:18:15 GMT

Hi,

I can't use my shared folders when I play my virtual machine in VMWare player.

Before installing VMWare Workstation 5.5, I had the first beta of the player and my shared folder was ok on it.

After installating workstation 5.5 and upgrading my virtual machine (upgrade VM and install vmware tools), i've started my virtual machine in the player and I've tried to use my shared folders (\\.host\Shared Folders\) and i got an error. (\\.host\Shared Folders\ is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. No network provider accepted the given network path)

I can access to a computer on my network with no problem.

In workstation my shared folders works fine.

Someone can help me ?

thank in advance,

Martin

Windows host won't bridge through wireless?

vmhawk — Sat, 29 Oct 2005 13:06:00 GMT

I can't get a windows guest vm to bridge using the wireless interface on a linux host. I thought that support for this was added with 5.5? During config, I set up both eth0 (vmnet0) and wlan0 (vmnet2) to bridge. eth0 works fine but with wireless, the windows guest never gets an IP address.

Is there any additional config that I need to do? I have tried adding another network adapter in the vm settings using 'Bridged' and 'Custom' to vmnet2. Neither approach worked.

Host: SUSE Linux 10
Guest: Windows XP Pro

Any comments are greatly appreciated!

Error 1723 in Win XP Pro when trying to install VM WK 5.5 RC2 from RC1

fjanon — Wed, 09 Nov 2005 13:30:34 GMT

I am trying to install VMWare Workstation 5.5 RC2 with RC1 already installed. During the installation of RC2, I get an error: "Error 1723. There is a problem with this installed package. A DLL requeired for this install to complete could not be run. Use Add/Remove Programs from the Control Panel instead".

I tried with Add/Remove in the Control Panel as well and got the same error. I rebooted my Win XP machine and got a similar message at boot time. I tried to install RC2 again after deleting the folder with RC1 (there is still one file I can't delete) and still get the same error. I tried to install 5.0 and it won't do it, saying that there is a more recent version installed.

Basically I am stuck with 0 VMware version working.

How can I get out of this mess?

Thanks

Some ill behavior of WS 5.5 when host os can't release USB device

kanat — Tue, 04 Oct 2005 19:59:18 GMT

I have requested guest OS to mount usb-device that was in use by host OS.
5.5 tells right message that now it is impossible and hang. Seems to be an old problem with hanging popup windows.

vmware 5.5 RC hangs when VM shuts down

pierrel — Sat, 22 Oct 2005 16:24:00 GMT

I am running Win2K3 enterprise in a VM on a XP SP2 laptop. The VM attaches a virtual NIC to the laptop physical NIC (Broadcom 5705). When the network cable is not plugged and the VM is started, I receive the expected message stating that the network card is unplugged and will start disconnected. When the VM shuts down, I see the same message but this time the dialog box retains the focus and cannot be dismissed. The only way out is to kill Vmware with the Task Manager or reboot the laptop. This happens consistently.

How to configure windows guest to access linux host wireless

francostanzo — Wed, 14 Sep 2005 02:30:20 GMT

I configured 5.5 with eth0 (wired network) as vmnet0 and eth1 (wireless ipw2200) as vmnet1. wired net is not active, wireless connected.
The guest vm never seems to access the vmnet1 (the icon never blinks and can't get a DHCP lease in the guest).
Is there some other configuration I need? I remember the Windows version has some kind of "virtual network" configuration options, but I can't find anything on the linux workstation.
Am I missing something?
