No, there is no limitation for the number of VMs running on ESXi stand-alone. What does your .vmx file look like. Did you try to create a new VM?

As far as I am familiar with MS products battery drivers are installed if the image is custom build. In Windows (XP or 2003) there is no battery driver. Maybe you just got the wrong image - working fine with laptops for instance and optimized to work with such.
Also keep in mind that if you are just playing (not using licensed Microsoft Windows) for testing or whatever pourposes, in a Domain invoronment you could have issues.
Have you used the same image for the other three installs you mentioned?
Have you tried any Linux distribution?
Are you building the virtual machines from scratch, or are you copying them?
And as a last step - reinstall your ESXi. Shit happens and this may fix it.
i guess 3.5 x86 does not support all of the 8gb ram i got, or does it ?
Is not an issue of ESX.
The 32 bit architecture has a limit at 4 GB RAM.
With some trick some system (Linux or Windows Enterprise/Datacenter) can "see" more than this limit.
