nProtect GameGuard seems to be an application that does not like Workstation and VMplayer
it crashes running VMs instantly or with a delay
This anticheat and antipiracy "tool" is a bit over eager - seems like it thinks that running VMs is as asocial as piracy ...
Are there any know tricks to make WS or VMplayer work on hosts that have nProtect GameGuard installed ?
homepage: http://global.nprotect.com/product/gg.php
Some folks say this tool is a rootkit ...
see http://www.aionsource.com/topic/14447-nprotect-gameguard-in-naeu-beta/
VMware engineers seem to be aware of similar issues otherwise they would not add an error-message for this type of crashes.
I have two confirmed cases where logs are still available
Do you know more ?
