BIOS settings not saved

[PELSKI]

Hi there. I am new in using VMware.

I was trying to install Windows Technical Preview, so I need to change the system date to September 30th, 2014.

Even though I choose Save settings and exit, the settings are reset to the host's system date every time the guest reboots.

Any solution?

Thanks

P.S.: .nvram file IS NOT read-only.

To prevent a VM from getting the start time resetted every time you start the VM you need several additional vmx-parameters.

Just setting it in the virtual BIOS is not enough.

Attach your vmx-file so that we can check if your vmx has all additional entries

Thanks for the answer!

Can you help me, since I am a beginner?

Thanks. Before marking your answer as the correct one, could you explain (on skype, if you want to) what can I do?

?

replace your original one with the one I uploaded.

Then try if you can now set the start time.

You may need more vmx-parameters than the ones I added.
