Hi everybody! I had a power failure a few months ago and since then in one of my virtual machines I cannot click on the "harddisk" line anymore. If I do so, the whole app is crashing. The virtual machines are still running, but the virtual machine UI is gone. Does anyone have the same problem? And maybe also a solution?   Thanks, Siegfried Kornschober
Thanks a lot!   That did the trick. Now it's much faster again :-).   Greetings, Ski

I don't know when it first started being very slow. I used VMWare Workstation Pro 15 and it worked pretty well and fast. But after installing a new version (15.?) it started getting slow, and also on 16 it's extremely slow. My computer is a DELL Notebook with an I9. The VM was setup with 2GB RAM and 2 processors. I tried also to set it to 512MB and 1 processor. No change. Finally, I installed the VMWare Workstation Pro 16 on a Debian linux and there it performs much faster, but the computer is quite old and has an I7 and 8GB RAM. Maybe it has something to do with a Windos update.   Does anyone have an idea, what was changed, that it became that slow?
These two lines in the .vmx file did the trick: usb.generic.allowCCID = "TRUE" usb.ccid.disable = "TRUE" Thank's a lot, Skim71

pcscd is definitely running... I Installed virtual box on my notebook...and it showed the device...There I used USB 2.0. When I switch my VMWare to USB 2.0 it shows the internal cardreader and the interanl blue tooth device as well, but no ACR122U :-(. Any other ideas? Thanks again...

Might be, that the decision to choose this name has a little bit to too with financial skimming, but due to the fact that my mother tongue is german, let's say, it's a product of your fantasy ;-). Back to the problem. I tried it on a Windows 10 Notebook and the VM Workstation Player 12 recognized the device instantly. Is there anything I can do on VM Workstation for Linux? Thanks for help, Greetings, Skim71

I have attached an USB-Bluetooth stick, a printer, another card reader (USB UART Bridge controller). No troubles. It's just this device that doesn't show up :-(. Greetings, Skim71

Dear Reader! I use VMWare Workstation Pro 12.5 on Ubuntu. In linux the command "lsusb" shows the device. Bus 002 Device 006: ID 072f:2200 Advanced Card Systems, Ltd ACR122U On another computer (same Ubuntu) with virtual box the device works well. The problem is, that in the drop down menu at "removeable devices" there is no card reader available. In short. Linux knows the device, but VMWare Workstation Pro 12.5 doesn't. What could the problem be? Thanks for help, Skim71
