![]() ![]() If however, I configure the VM such that there is some sort of configuration error (non-existent device, CD-Rom mapped to missing ISO, etc.) that Player throws a warning dialog about the configuration problem on VM boot and whatever that does to the video it is enough to get the VM to boot correctly with the display active. The VM starts and the guest OS boots normally, but the screen remains black and the task needs to be terminated. ![]() ![]() I have found that no matter my VM settings, I have problems if there are no errors with the VM configuration. Wish VMware would acknowledge the underlying problem or provide a fix. Yes.sort of found a workaround that gets past the problem. I'm so close to having this work it's even more frustrating than if it didn't work at all. Provided vmx for the XP VM and a few logs. The problem is reproducible with all VMs every time. A VM restart does not exhibit this symptom. Guest operating Systems are: WinXP-SP3-32bit, Win7-64bit built from the VMware Converter, and Server 2008 from the MS eval ISO.Īny ideas? Once the play/end task/play sequence is performed the VM works correctly. Presence or absence of Tools in Guest does not affect the problem.Īll 3 of my VMs have the exact same behavior. If I Play it the 2nd time, the VM will resume operating correctly with the proper display at the immediate point where I expected it to be when I ended the vmplayer.exe task earlier. Once I do that, the VM shows state as Powered On in the Library. My only option is to end the vmplayer.exe task using task manager. If I try to click on the close button in the upper right corner, I get a dialog box that says "The Virtual Machine is Busy". The guest OS does indeed boot, right up to the login screen although with no display visible. When any of the various VMs are started from the Powered Off state, the player window will open and a big black screen will appear where the guest display should be shown. Recently moved all my VMs from Host Win7-64bit to Win8-64bit.įresh install of Player v 5.0.2 build-1031769Ĭomputer is Acer Aspire M Intel i5 1.8Ghz ![]()
