Fixing Freeze on Guest Reboot Issue for Workstation 8 9

[vasukinv]

I'm 99.999% sure that this method will work. I've found a solution and described the procedure here: http://www.droidmantra.com/2013/01/fix-vmware-workstation-8-9-freeze-on.html

Please don't consider the external link as spam. It is something which worked brilliantly for me. So I posted the content in my blog although it's completely irrelevant to its topic and shared it here.

All the above link does is bring you to a download manager program to download.  It is SPAM.  The fix is:

Uncheck the CD/DVD Drive "Connected at power on" option.

Please see the thread located here for the fix:  http://communities.vmware.com/thread/407985

Thanks a lot, unchecking the DVD drive connection helped me. This serous bug, if you don´t know the solution.

Thanks it worked also with me. I had never problems with my Fujitsu X9510 but with my new Fujitsu N532 is the problem solved thanks to this.

Unchecking the CD/DVD Drive "Connected at power on" option is the Fix. Thankyou.
