[gentoo-user] VMware Workstation trouble
Hello, since updating to the latest vmware workstation 4.5 via portage, I haven't been able to start my XP virtual machine. When I click Start this virtual machine, nothing happens at all. Does anyone know why this is happening? - Grant -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Is there anything in vmware.log in the directory of that virtual machine. also, try running vmware from a terminal and see what error messages you get. -- Neil Bothwick The sergeant walked into the shower and caught me giving myself a dishonorable discharge.

PLease don't flame me, but are you running 4.5 or the 5 series? You said the latest thats why I ask. If you are running 5 series I had this with the latest update till I added the user to the vmware group. Now all is fine. Mike -- Michael W.
