Unable to boot 2 VMs at once -
Hi
I have problems to simultaneously run two instances of Vm, e.g. I have a Windows7 and Windows10 VM and want to boot them in Workstation 12.5. I can boot any of the VMs if it is the only one VM running. But once I have already one VM running, Vmware Workstation will not power up any second VM.
I had the Issue on Workstation 11 and now upgrades to 12.5 but the issue remains.
The error message I get is: "Unable to change virtual machine power state: Internal error"
It writes the following to the vmware.log: (cut to the relevant lines)

Operating system is Suse 13.2.
As I say, any of the VMs *alone* boots fine and I have no issues. But booting two VMs at once, won't work, no way here. I do not think it is a RAM issue (VM1 uses 512MB, VM2 uses 1024MB, Vmware reserved is 6GB in preferences, host machine has 16GB).
Any ideas what is wrong?
