I am getting quite a number of instances of the following error after I run a VMware session for an hour or more. My VMware sessions consist of running 5 or 6 simultaneous instances of VMware 6.0.4 workstation (their application contents are co-dependent).
Thanks,

I don't have the answer for you, but am curious if you are running Symantec Anti Virus on the Host machine? If so, which version?
I am running Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition version 8x.
The reason I asked is that I am seeing the same error on a physical Exchange server. I haven't figured out exactly what the cause of the error is yet, but since it takes almost two months for the error to show up after a reboot troubleshooting is a slow process for me. My hunch is that my problem is related to SAV, but I don't have any hard facts yet. I am running SAV 10.1.4.4000 on the physical server.
Since your issue is reproducible after just a few hours, I am curious if you would be able to temporarily uninstall SAV and see if that makes the error go away on your system?
Scissor: Perhaps this link may help you?
Thank you for that link. It looks like the KB article may also be applicable to your issue too!
Yes, it is the one I am using to troubleshoot my issue.
nh.duma,
Any luck with figuring out the cause of your error?
Scissor: I think my issues are being triggered by KB839499 given that each occurrence is accompanied by many instances dialogs titled "Application Popup" along with event log errors. I do not have access to the domain controller to experiment with recommended changes but I have noticed that the changes I made to my computer, as recommended by KB312362, combined with rebooting my computer before I start my workday have improved my situation significantly.
Thanks,
nh.duma.
My issues went away after I removed the /3Gb switch from the boot.ini on the host system.
