about time sync disable

[egalizia]

Hi I try to disable time sync to make same test on wmware workstation with a xp dated 2009 but when restart pc and power up machine the time change,

now I find on net and see to ad .vmx file

tools.syncTime = "0"
time.synchronize.continue = "0"
time.synchronize.restore = "0"
time.synchronize.resume.disk = "0"
time.synchronize.shrink = "0"
time.synchronize.tools.startup = "0"
time.synchronize.tools.enable = "0"
time.synchronize.resume.host = "0"

Note: In GSX, VMware Fusion, VMware Player and VMware Workstation, you must use "FALSE" instead of "0". For example:

tools.syncTime = "FALSE"
time.synchronize.continue = "FALSE"
time.synchronize.restore = "FALSE"
time.synchronize.resume.disk = "FALSE"
time.synchronize.shrink = "FALSE"
time.synchronize.tools.startup = "FALSE"
time.synchronize.tools.enable = "FALSE"
time.synchronize.resume.host = "FALSE"

I try to do it but when try reopen vmx file tell me corrupt same can give me help ?

just use tools.syncTime = "FALSE" parameter in the vmx file. Remove all other parameters that you have included  for controlling time sync and recheck the issue.

Which tool ( app ) are you using to edit the VMX file? NotePad should be fine .

I add at end of file this line but after try reopen vmx file tell me is corrupted use notepad++ to make it

PS

if remove line work again ... use last vmware workstation 10.0.3

Can you attach the corrupted VMX file for checking?

ok add the two file filo ok file work fiel mod dnt work

tools.syncTime = "FALSE"  parameter has been entered twice and hence the file becomes invalid.

delete tools.syncTime = "FALSE" line at the end of the file ( ACUmod.vmx ) and just add following lines at the end.


time.synchronize.continue = "FALSE"
time.synchronize.restore = "FALSE"
time.synchronize.resume.disk = "FALSE"
time.synchronize.shrink = "FALSE"
time.synchronize.tools.startup = "FALSE"
time.synchronize.tools.enable = "FALSE"
time.synchronize.resume.host = "FALSE"

Note: tools.syncTime = "FALSE" is already present in between lines and hence need not be added again.
