VMWare Workstation 12 Player Questions, Please

Hello,

Real beginner with this, so please bear with me a bit.

Very appreciative for any help.

a. What is the most appropriate Forum or Community to Post Workstation 12 Player questions to ? Here ?

   Really confused as to where/how to Post, and what to put in the "In A Place" box.

b. Trying to get started with: VMWare Workstation 12 Player

I'm trying to set up the virtual machine, and I get these two error messages...

"Binary translation is incompatible with long mode on this platform.  Long mode will be disabled in this virtual environment and applications requiring long mode will not function properly as a result."

I don't know what binary translation, or long mode, are, or how to resolve.

"Intel VT-x might be disabled if it has been disabled in the BIOS/firmware settings or the host has not been power-cycled since changing this setting."

*What do I do now ?  What might I have done wrong ?

Not all that computer sharp, frankly, so explicit, step by step instructions on how to install would be most appreciated.

Might as well also ask, please:  What are some Links to User guides, etc. relative to a beginner getting started with ?

Any good beginner books I should purchase ?

Thanks, most appreciative for any help.

Bob

Welcome to the Community,

a.) I've moved the discussion from Performance & VMmark to Workstation Player

b.) As a first step, please attach the vmware.log file that was created in the virtual machine's folder to a reply post (you'll find the Attach link in the bottom right of the reply box)
