VMWare 10 Workstation Windows 8 Not Loading

[jpablos123]

I need to set the setting "monitor_control.disable_directexec = "TRUE"". However, when I do so Windows 8 will not load. It renders fine until it gets to the login screen, then it stops rendering the display. The login screen will appear for 1/2 a second then rendering will cut out again.

Running Workstation 10. Windows 8 x86 is loaded onto it. Running from my Windows 7 x64 desktop.

I find it incredibly slow, but it does work.  Can you post your vmware.log file (as an attachment)?

Thanks for the reply. I have attached my log.

Even with all of the other things you've disabled, I can't reproduce your problem.  Is there anything else unusual about your enviornment?  Are you running nested under another hypervisor?

No, there is nothing else unusual about my setup. It is a freshly created instance. It works great with disable_directexec="FALSE" as soon as I turn it on I run into this issue.

System Specs in case it matters:

Core i7 2600k

16GB RAM

NVIDIA 780GTX

I got it to work by downgrading to an earlier version of VMWare.

Thanks for the help.
