please do not post screenshots in docx format - not interested in installing a docx reader just to see something that should have been posted as jpg,png or gif

the dndlog - message is unrelated - its just a nuisance that pops  up when other problems happens

create a blank file c:\ProgramData\Vmware\dndlogs\dndlog.conf and you will not see it again
