Hi,

some more information is needed.

What kind of customization did you apply?

--------------------------

Try these steps:

• 1) Boot the VM into “Safe Mode” in Windows (press F8 during the initial boot sequence, then select “Safe Mode”
• 2) When Safe Mode is up and running, launch Windows Device Manager to inspect the device drivers present on the VM.
• 3) DELETE any drivers showing a yellow exclamation point next to them in Device Manager. These are the conflicting drivers/drivers that are not compatible with the VMware Virtual Hardware.
