Need some debugging help.
I just copied all the VM files from VMware server to a desktop. The VM was running fine under VMware server but my desktop is now more powerful with an E6600 cpu and faster HD.
I was trying to use VMware Player to start this VM up on the new system's C: drive. However I get a BSOD with the above error right after the XP screen prompt for CTRL-ALT-DEL shows up.
When I start the VM in safe mode with networking, it does not BSOD. This gives me hope that it might be a driver out of place, or maybe VMware tools?
Can anyone give me tips on how to cleanup my VM so that it can redetect properly on the new host system?
Post .vmx file of your guest.

Is your desktop Linux OS? If not, you may verify your floppy and CD-ROM settings.
I took that out and I'm still getting the same BSOD.
Heres my current vmx file.
