Cannot find a valid peer process to connect to

Okay...I've seen this posted many times, and never have seen a response that addresses how to resolve it or why it happens, and I have searced posts and found it going back to 2005.

So, can anyone tell me how to resolve the problem and also what may be causing it. I am getting it after I power on a VM, and power it off. If I do this like 3-4 times in a row I get the message. Could it be a memory issue?

thanks,

Rod

Hi,

I have exactly the same problem. Actually i haven't found any solution. I have contacted wmware support and i am awaiting their answer.

Normaly they must find a solution in one day.

Thank's

You usually get this in cases the VM doesn't exit cleanly.

Exit Workstation and run "net start vmx86"

If that doesn't help - kill any orphaned vmware-vmx.exe processes you might have running and try the net start cmd again.

You can find out which vmware-vmx process belongs to which vmx-file by running sysinternals pipelist.exe
