VMware Workstation keep crashing whenever I start playing a 1080p movie

[chong67]

My VMware Desktop keep crashing whenever I start playing a 1080p movie. With a 720p movie, its fine.

I could not go back into the Desktop. It just crash and I have to reboot my computer.

I go to Windows Application log and see a bunch of error like this :

Malformed perfmon object, index=5

Malformed perfmon object, index=4

Malformed perfmon object, index=3

Malformed perfmon object, index=2

Malformed perfmon object, index=1

Malformed perfmon object, index=0

Source is vmauthd and Event ID is 100.

What is going on?

[alltmfvcp2009]

do you respect the minimum settings for 1080p with view? Wich version on view do you use?

1080p-formatted video

If the View desktop has a dual virtual CPU, you can play 1080p formatted video, although the media player might need to be adjusted to a smaller

window size.

PCoIP Limitations

PCoIP has the following limitation: View clients that use PCoIP can connect to security servers, but PCoIP

sessions with the desktop ignore the security server. PCoIP uses UDP for streaming audio and video, but

security servers support only TCP.

Recommended Guest Operating System Settings

Recommended guest operating system settings include the following settings:

For Windows XP desktops: 768MB RAM or more and a single CPU

For Windows 7 desktops: 1GB of RAM and a dual CPU

Sorry, what I mean is that my client VMware Desktop crash when I play a 1080p movie in host.

I am not playing 1080p movie inside the VMWarek Desktop client.

I mean VMware Workstation.

Host OS is 64 bit W7 Ultimate.

you could try to disable perfmon counters for VMware ...

export HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\VMware

so that you have a backup - in case ....

then delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\VMware

and reboot

Most likely.... the Perfmon errors can be fixed with the lodctr command.

I had 43,000 of these errors - and the following link fixed it for me - win 7 64bit ultimate.  and it's on microsoft site...

Hope it works for you the way it worked for me!
