VMWare Workstation 7.1.1 on Windows 7 Ultimate x64 huge problems

 

I recently installed the VMware Workstation 7.1.1 from your site on my *laptop ASUS g73JH

(with i7, 8GBRAM, RAdeon HD 5780).

*

 

 

Install was successful, then I installed the VMWare Tools.

 

 

After doing this, I wanted to restart the system.

The system hanged on displaying "System is shutting down".

After the hard reset I was able to start the VM again.. everything seem

to be fine.

But my USB modem on the host OS (win7) didn't function anymore, *auto-run

was corrupted* (although it was enabled in settings), system was *randomly

freezing*.. etc

After restarting the same problem - I couldn't shutdown.

 

 

I formated the drive, reinstalled OS. Installed VMWare again.. the same issues occured again.

 

 

Anyone had the same problem?

 

 

I've tried VMWare Player and VMWare Workstation.

The system was able to correctly shutdown, but issues with USB and autorun took place again..

 

 

My Laptop is about 1 Month old. How do I reinstall the system? I use the recovery image (F9 when booting up) with preinstalled drivers from ASUS !

It sounds like you're installing Tools in the host. Tools are used in guest OSes, not the host.

Hi

It's problem for W7 - I look this crash OS and after install VMware Workstation 6.5 and after install this, 7.1.1 version.

The all problem in %TEMP% in host OS - after install VMware this disk volume - is dirty...

You not need reinstall OS, you must run chkdsk only 8)))
