Running 64-bit image on 32-bit OS

[Grimork]

I installed an image on a 64-bit computer and it must've defaulted as 64-bit. Im now at home trying to run the image on my 32-bit OS and it just continually repeats 'loading files' and then it will return to the vmware starting screen and follow the same process. Is there anything I can do to allow my computer to run the image?

Welcome to the Community,

it's not the host OS which is important, it's the host system's CPU and the BIOS configuration. In oder to run a 64 bit guest you need a 64-bit Intel CPU which supports Intel VT-x (may need to be enabled in the BIOS) or a 64-bit AMD CPU. In case of the Intel CPU make sure you power cycle (power off/power on) the system after modifying the BIOS and saving the settings.

If this does not help, please post/attach the latest vmware.log from the VM's folder.

Intel(R) 82567LM-3 Gigabit Network Connection - McAfee NDIS Intermediate filter Miniport <--- that is the adapter

And I enabled virtualization, I have a dell so I rebooted the computer to enable it.

Now it connects and says it has internet access but internet explorer says it cannot display the webpage. And when I diagnose the problem it says there is a problem with the DNS server.

Sorry this is my first time using vmware and I looked in that folder, is the log file in there or another folder?
