After 15.5.5 update, Win XP fails to load with vcpu-0 error

WinXP worked fine on 15.5.2 but after the update, I get:

VMware Workstation unrecoverable error: (vcpu-0)

Exception 0xc0000005 (access violation) has occurred.

I have Debian 9.x running just fine (before and after the update) in another tab.

The log file is attached.

Has anyone else run into this?

I looked at your log file. I get the exact same error. Did you ever find a solution?

The solution for me was to add the following line to the vmx file.

monitor_control.disable_apichv = "TRUE"

briangideon's method worked for me too.

Thanks you @briangideon !
