Problem:

  • Using more than 2.8G of RAM when allowing most memory to be swapped gives an error about not enough memory available.
  • I am able to boot up if I limit one VM to 2.8GB RAM and enable swap most.  The VM will eventually stall if I attempt to use all 2.8GB requiring force close of vmware-vmx.exe.
  • I can't use the options to allocate all or swap some memory at all

Setting allocate all memory:

Steps tried to resolve:

  • Uninstall/Reinstall did not fix,   /clean did not fix either
  • Workstation 11 beta gives same error
  • Run as Administrator
  • Tried config.ini   vmmon.disableHostParameters = “TRUE”
