Virtual Workstation Closing

I am running Windows 7 64-bit. When I try to edit virtual machine settings the program locks up and shuts down. Does anyone else have this problem? And if so does anyone have a fix for this issue? Thanks in advance.

I running two Windows 7 vms on a Windows 7 host with no issues.

You can try to check the services and restart if necessary or you can reboot your host

What VMware product are you using? What is your host OS? Was the vm working before?

These problems should not happen.


I would suggest uninstalling and reinstalling VMware, turning off UAC for the duration of the installation.

I would second that suggestion.

Re-install and see if you get the same issues.
