Hi everyone, I was using my Windows 7 VM but moving one file from one drive to the other and the player crashed, now ehen I'm trying to star again the VM I'm getting this error, and it's creating the log file that I'm attaching. How can I fix this problem?.

Thanks in advance

There's also troubling error messages in the file.

The 'insufficient resources" messages are concerning to me. Perhaps an explanation of what you mean by "moving one file from one drive to the other" might help us with the puzzle.

Sure, what I mean is that I have defined two hard drives for the VM, one for the windows system and another one for documents saving. so I was trying to move a file that I copied to the desktop to the documents drive and then VMWare crashed and now I can't open my VM anymore.
