Hi,
I'm having difficulties with VM workstation player 12, the program itself randomly hangs and doesn't respond anymore. Or sometimes when I wait for a few minutes it comes back, but then every few actions I that take after that locks up the program again, which keeps repeating like this.
By waiting out every locks up I was have been able to get at the point where the player actually starts installing, but then the virtual screen stays black, it locks up again, and after a few minutes it seems like a VM is created, but I can't start it, it just shows an error and refuses to start the VM.
I tried to re-install the player e few times, Also with an advanced uninstaller so that no files or registry entries are left behind, but this behavior keeps coming back. Even the installer and uninstaller are having difficulties to run normally. I also tried installing VM player 6, but it acts the same.
I also tried using Virtualbox, which has no issues, but I prefer to use VMware.
I am running Win8.1 Pro x64. I want to create a Ubuntu x64 VM. I'm not an expert, but could this have something to do with the fact that I'm on a domain, and that my home/user folder is actually server based? I had issues in the past with another program that was having difficulties reading/writing to "Appdata" because it wasn't on a local disk.
Hope someone can help me.
Thanks!
