some body please help!, i have vm ware on laptop and desktop but i cant get either working. on the desktop i just i can choose a new machine but when i try to start it i just get...Error connecting to bin\vmware-vmx.exe process... or config file is invalid. on the laptop, i have 3 machines in my inventory, but none of them will get past dos. one of them says "the system memory manager (emm386.exe) has detected an error caused by a fault in one of the device drivers or programs loaded in the system".
also im not completely sure which network connection to choose: [/b] bridged networking/ NAT/ host only/ no network connection. ive tried both NAT and host only.

What version of VMWare are you using?

You say that you have three machines on your laptop, how did you create the machines?

What do you want to do with the guest OS'es? (for the networking aspect of your query)

Questions questions!

 

version 1.0.3

im studying for A+, and just want to play arond really to increase my tiny amount of experience with any os prior to xp.
not really interested in networking at the mo. i just chose from the list of machines

 

Are you using it on windows XP OS?

I take it when you say 3 machines you are talking about the VM machines?

 

yeah sorry, im not the most eloquent of techs. ive actually just deleted vm off the laptop because it was taking to much space (plus its the missis', so dont wanna mess with it too much), so its just the invalid config file i need help with now.

 

Have you tried the VMWARE forum??

If there is a problem with the program it's usually displayed there.

VMWARE problems running with XP

Also you could have a look at these threads under software and Virtual Computing

Problems loading VMWare

Virtual Computing

 

Why have you deleted VMWare?? You know you can change the settings of the virtual HD in VMware?

Any chance of posting here a screen shot of what the error message says?
Or even the location of the config file?

 

good thinking batman, ill give them a go.

 

when you said you just choose from the list did you actually download the iso files and install them into the VM or did you simply "create" a vm? because every "created" vm starts out as a fresh hard drive essentially then you add what ever OS to it. sorry if that sounds kind of insulting, but when you said that you just picked off of the list it made it sound like you hadn't actually installed any OS.
