Hi All Guys, Please help me solve this problem about VMware Workstation. I have 2 problem, I don't know how it is so I will explain slowly.

The first issue happened when i was trying to open Windows XP SP3 in VMware. The error about VMware Authorization Service appear but I swear that I always start all 5 service when open any Virtual Machine.

So i guess that some confict happened but i don't know how to find out.

I restart all service and thanks god, It open like usual. But something happen when it's loading with status "No Responding". And then the Worst problem happen. I cannot connect to Internet via Nat or Bridge.

I tried to connect by click icon on the right of bottom. But :

After all, I look for the vmware.log. I have no idea to find that file and i found hostd file in C:\ProgramData\VMware\hostd. I've attached below.

That's all I can do. Anyone have some idea on it Please help me !!! Thanks for reading !

Welcome to the Community,

you can find the vmware.log file in the VMs folder.
Did the VM work before? Did you change something on the host?

In your vmx-file you have 5 ethernet cards but only one of them is active:
ethernet4.addressType = "generated"
ethernet4.generatedAddress = "00:0C:29:F0:DB:A1"
ethernet4.generatedAddressOffset = "40"
ethernet4.pciSlotNumber = "33"
ethernet4.present = "TRUE"
But for this ethernet card the parameters are incomplete.
This card will use vmnet0 with automatic bridging.
This may not work with your setup.
It would be helpful to see a screenshot of the Virtual Network Editor.
Or remove all ethernet*.* parameters from the vmx-file and then add a new device

Hey bro, i run vmware as you said and it's still have the problem Authorization Service and Not Responding while running.

This is the vmware with new ethernet. It still can not access the internet.

I think something occur conflict and not because of netword adapter. I tried delete all network adaper and run vm. The error of Authorization Service and Not Responding still happen. I guess this error cause everything.

Thats strange - looks like WS is starting the VM but somehow can not display it.
Do you see a process named vmware-vmx.exe in taskmanager when you try to start the VM ?

Stupid question but I have to ask it: did you reboot after installation ?
I believe that your Workstation installation failed - I would recommend to
reboot.
Uninstall Workstation
Reboot
Reinstall Workstation
Reboot
