Host is Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.
Have Workstation 6.5.3. Ran
Workstation 7 install (the full version). Prompted to uninstall 6.5.3.
Then restarted. During install, got a 2203 error on some unix tools.
Install proceeded to complete. Reran Workstation 7 install (this time
use the run as administrator option, obviously I am already an
administrator) and chose repair. Got a blue screen. Restarted machine.
Lost keyboard. Could not login. Issue same as

Rebooted
machine using Windows 7 disc and repaired machine by restoring to a
previous system restore point. Ran program Workstation 6.5.3. Got an
error. (So the system restore was not able to restore everything, I
guess.) Ran Workstation 6.5.3 install and chose repair option. Got
BSOD. Restarted machine. Lost keyboard.
Rebooted machine using
Windows 7 disc and repaired machine by restoring to a previous system
restore point. Uninstalled Workstation 6.5.3. Restarted machine. Ran
Workstation 6.5.3 install. Got BSOD. I didn't copy down the BSOD
previously but this time it says page_fault_in_nonpaged_area.
Restored
machine using Acronis True Image. Now I am afraid to touch my existing
working Workstation 6.5.3 installation. Please advise. Thanks.
