Add hardware wizard hangs at "loading"

 

Hi,

 

 

Just installed on Windows 2003 Server x64 edition.  Upgraded VM to new version.  Add hardware wizard always shows "loading" and I can't add new hardware.

 

 

I tried in both firefox 3 and internet explorer 6.

 

 

Please Help!  I need a USB2 controller.

Try deleting and recreating your datastores.  Sometimes issues with these can cause the wizard to hang.

Paul,

 

 

Thanks for the response!

 

 

I deleted and recreated the datastores and I am still having the problem.

 

 

 

I also left out that I am trying to run a version 1 machine that I upgraded to version 2.

Re: Add hardware wizard hangs at "loading"

I have the same problem - and no fix either. I created the VM using the VMware converter. The guest OS is "other" (FreeDOS).

 

EDIT: I also have the same problem after I created a Windows VM (from within VMware Server 2.0 rc1 web interface). Just showing the annoying "loading" text...

 

Regards,

Mark

What is the hardware spec of your hosts?

 

 

I had similar problems with beta 1 on an ubuntu host (q6600 8GB) I found the firefox browser on the host to be very slow, and often hung.  Connecting from a remote machine using IE worked much better.  At the time I suspected it was a resource issue as I also found the problem to get worse as I ran more VMs.  I'm not using vista ultimate 64 as the host on the same hardware with RC1, and see no performance issues or hangs.

I am running it on an HP proliant ML350 G5 with 6GB ram and SAS drives.

The host OS is Windows Server 2003 x64 edition.

 

I never got this resolved, however we did get the USB working because

after a reboot it showed up.

Hello,

 

 

I have the same problem... I have been running VmWare Server 2.0 rc1 for two weeks without problems. I stopped a VM to add it a HD and the server web ui hangs on Loading...

 

 

Greetings...
