Guest OS Windows10 "Display driver failed to start. Display driver failed to start; using Microsoft Basic Display Driver instead" error"

Please allow me to write sentences using a translation.

 

I have been in trouble for a very long time with this problem.

I run 26 virtual machines for 24 hours, but the main contents are games.

However, the bug that is happening now is that the screen is dimmed for a moment or two after 2 hours, and an error like title is displayed in the event viewer.

I know that this is the result of VMware Tools. I tried most versions of VMware player, Workstation, Windows 10, but they all gave the same result.

Turning off 3D acceleration resolves the cause, but you should not turn off 3D acceleration as you will run so many virtual machines on a single PC.

Such errors do not exist in other virtual machines such as Virtual Box.I am troubled with this problem for about a month.

Still, I would like to use VMware because the speed of the machine itself is completely different.

 

I was really tired.Could you lend me your strength? If you do not have enough information, please feel free to say.

 

Thank you very much.

Is there a way to convert a linked clone VMWare VM to a Hyper V VM?

I have a feeling that this is probably not possible because I am going to need the reference machine too.

 

For example.

 

I have created a linked clone machine in VMWare Workstation and now I would now like to use it in Hyper V.

 

I think i'm just going to have to recreate the Server in Hyper V because Hyper V doesn't work with linked clones. 

 

Thanks

Unable to configure host-only network on Windows 10 host running 15.1.0

This has been a recurring problem for me across the last few releases.  Each time VMware releases a new update I pick it up and cross my fingers, but no luck, even on the latest release 15.1.0.  The symptom during installation is that the virtual network install process hangs for about 4 minutes while attempting to install vmnet1 and vmnet8.  It appears to be waiting for something that never happens.  During the process Device Manager shows each VMware virtual network interface with the yellow warning marker being installed, but it goes away on the apparent timeout.  Upon completion there are no VMware network interfaces installed, vmnet1 shows as "Custom" and vmnet8 shows as NAT in the virtual network editor.  Luckily NAT appears to work even in the absence of a virtual network device so my VM can reach the outside world.  I see the same behavior after install if I use the virtual network editor to try and connect vmnet1 as host-only, i.e. attempt to install for 4 minutes then failure with status going back to "custom".

 

I've attached what appears to be the relevant section of the vminst.log file for this request.  This abridged snippet from that attachment is probably where the failure is happening.

VM Workstation 10 on Win 7 Ultimate 64 - Freezes Up

Hello VM community,

 

I'm a couple days into attempting to reset a VM for an existing workstation. My original ran well for several years when recently the  Workstation wouldn't start.

 

I've been through the forums here and cleaned up a lot; multiple attempts at uninstalling, clearing reg values, optimizing HD, reinstalling etc.

 

I can now start and run the WS for a bit before it locks up with an error - logs attached.

 

Note the Host runs on it's own HD

c: (NTFS on drive 0) *1024.10 GB747.61 GB free

and I've created the workstation on a separate, dedicated 1TB HD.

i: (NTFS on drive 4)960.06 GB798.55 GB free

 

Host:

Windows 7 Ultimate (x64) Service Pack 1 (build 7601.24468)

3.05 gigahertz Intel Core i7 950

64 kilobyte primary memory cache

256 kilobyte secondary memory cache

8192 kilobyte tertiary memory cache

64-bit ready

Multi-core (4 total)

Hyper-threaded (8 total)

 

 

The errors keep occurring (In Log file) which I believe is the source of the freeze but I'm not sure how to fix; solutions indicate a size issue but I have alot of space on these drives.

 

Thanks for any help - this is my work drive and I am a telecommuter so pretty important that I get this resolved.

I moved my VM to another host machine and noticed that during full screen mode windows 10 desktop resolution is not adjusted properly meaning the icons are very small along with the whole User Interface. The vmtools is installed and I also performed a reinstall and still nothing. I check the display settings and everything is set correctly. I would greatly appreciate some suggestions?

why can't a shared virtual machine with physical disks be created?

I have created a virtual machine with a physical partition. But I'm unable to share this virtual machine; VMware says "virtual machines configured with physical discs can't be shared". I see no reason why VMware can't do that. Does the feature not implemented with shared VMs or is it not feasible?

Hi,

 

I created many Virtual Machines and while creating a Virtual Machine, I have seen some options. I just clicked Next based on recommended option but I don’t know why these options and what about other options.

 

Example1:

01.png

a. When should I use BIOS and UEFI with Secure Boot?

 

Example2:

02.png

b. LSI Logic SAS is recommended but what about other SCSI Controllers (BusLogic and LSI Logic)? When should I use others?

 

Example3:

03.png

c. What about other virtual disk type (IDE, SATA and NVMe)? When should I use it?

 

Pls resolve above queries for basic understandings.

Disappearing sound card

Hello,

 

Regarding Workstation Pro 15.1 running in Centos 7, my OVA/OVF imports are not quite working -- the sound card disappears.  To reproduce:

 

1) create a VM (Ubuntu Mate in my case), add a sound card, test sound with firefox.

2) shutdown down the VM

3) export the VM to OVF

4) delete the VM

5) import the OVF from the export in step 3

6) edit settings, sound card is missing

 

The sound card is present in the .ovf file.

 

Other observations:

 

The same thing happens when I do steps 1 - 3 in Virtualbox.

Import into Virtualbox shows the sound card is present in the new VM.

archaeologists question [NT4] : no Keyboard / no mouse after P2V :-)

Hi @ll,

 

i have a strange question for the archaeologists in here:

 

Because of a System-Crash on an 20-years-old-NT4-System, i had to P2V this System. After some tricky hours, i got

the System booted using NT4-Setup, Repair Disk etc... but now, i cannot use the System, because i does not detect any keyboard :-)

 

When the boot Manager comes up  ( Windows NT 4.0 / Windows NT 4.0 [VGA Modus] ), the keyboard in the VM works fine....

 

Is there a trick ? Is it possbile to build a floppy with the NT4-Keyboard drivers and add them via NT4-Repair-Setup ?

Or is there a way by mapping the vmdk to an working NT4-VM ?

 

Please do not wonder why i have to repair an NT4.....

 

Thx in advance :-)
