Hi there,
I am pretty desperate with my VM-WS Guests.
Here are my specs:
HOST:
Win Vista 32 bit with all updates.
4GB RAM
Guests in a folder on the Desktop
VM Workstation version: 9.0.4 build-1945795
-------------------------------------------
I had a Linux Mint 17 Guest working flawlessly and all of a sudden started crawling.
10 minutes booting
15-ish minutes shutting down
5 seconds after double-clicking a folder to open it
There must be something wrong or corrupted but can't figure out what.
I read around and
- I deleted and reinstalled VM-Workstation - TO NO AVAIL.
- made an exception in my NOD32 antivirus to the VM-Folder on the Desktop
- ran "sfc /verifyonly" on Vista an found no filesystem corrupted
- ran NOD 32, Malwarebytes, HijackThis - nothing strange found
I then deleted all my guests and installed "Ubuntu 9.10" with 512 RAM and VMWare Tools installed, in order to be sure it was a supported guest.
- Installing took forever, almost an hour;
- Same problem as above (10 minutes booting, 15-ish minutes shutting down, 5 seconds after double-clicking a folder to open it)
- I switched Ubuntu RAM to 1 GB, nothing changed.
I remember accidentally clicked once on "Suspend" instead of Shutting off, but I wouldn't know now what files to delete for a complete reset.
I have never done a snapshot.
I deleted "host.maxkHzEstimate.cpuidHash" and "host.maxkHzEstimate.value" in Vista Registry - TO NO AVAIL.
i hereby attach the latest logfile.
Can someone help me out?
