I installed VM ware recently now whenever i try to power on VMware it shows the below message:
"Not enough physical memory is available to power on this virtual machine with its configured settings.
To fix this problem, adjust the additional memory settings to allow more virtual machine memory to be swapped.
If you were able to power on this virtual machine on this host computer in the past, try rebooting the host computer. Rebooting may allow you to use slightly more host memory to run virtual machines."
I am not able to change the memory setting .It just shows an option to resume the virtual machine, All other options are disabled. I have by mistake increased the VM ware memory in run time .Could any one help?

Go to Control Panel -> Programs -> Programs and Features,then uninstall the Windows 8.1 Update KB2995388 may help
--* Edit *--
The Optional Update for Windows 8.1 for x64-based Systems (KB2995388) published on 10/13/2014 may causes issues when running VMware Workstation on a Windows 8.1 host with it installed.
And a message saying "not enough physical memory" will be reported.
Because the VMware team hasn't fix the issue, you can follow steps below to uninstall the update to boot your virtual machine:
1.Go to Control Panel -> Programs -> Programs and Features, then select View installed updates at the top left corner.
2.Scroll down the list and locate Update for Microsoft Windows (KB2995388), select it and click on the Uninstall button.
3.Follow the steps to finish the uninstallation.
In the comment list, someone also reported a fix from VMware communities:
Open the config.ini file located at C:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware Workstation.
Add this line:
vmmon.disableHostParameters = "TRUE"
Save & reboot your PC
It sounds like your VM machine is in a suspended state. What you need to do is follow the steps outlined here in this help ticket. Do these steps while vmware is not running. And once you do this, start vmware again and then you should be able to edit your memory settings.
Run it in Administrator mode in Windows 8.1. Probably a Windows Update... Deleting the suspended state didn't work for me.
Before proceeding with any alternative solutions/workarounds, please always double ensure you have updated to the latest version of VMWare Player.
My machine was running VMWare Player, Version 6.0.*, and this issue was occurring (my local machine's Operating System is Windows 8.1). The relevant error(s) were resolved after updating to the latest build currently available, VMWare Player, Version 7.0 (Please note: I did not have to remove/uninstall any Windows Updates/Features)
Just spent a few hours trying to get my VMware to boot. Power flickered off enough to shut down the computer while the VMware was in suspension and recieved this message.
Make sure the update isn't installed. Make sure to follow the accepted answer. What made it work for me was:
Right click on your development name tab
Click on "Manage" and then "Clean up disk"
It worked for me. I'm not sure why it worked, but it was able to fix my issue. Didn't need to restart.
Follow these steps:
Close the VMware.
Select VMware icon.
Run VMware as Administrator.

I have in my Win32 application WM-KILLFOCUS hanging procedure. If I try to debug and test them proper function, windows lost focus on each breakpoints. Because focus gets Visual Studio window. Is here some way, how debugging application without focus losing?
(The same problem is with mouse moving, etc.)
Sorry about the late reply - I've been v busy - but here's a brief writeup about how to debug in a VM (as per the comments above).
Download and install suitable VM software on your development machine. I use VMware Player. This is free for non-commercial use, but if you are using it in a commercial setting please buy a copy (it is not expensive).
Create a new Virtual Machine, configured roughly as follows:
memory 6GB or so (hopefully you can spare that much)
disk space 100GB (don't worry if this sounds overly large - the file that backs the virtual disk will grow as needed)
network adapter bridged (important!)
Install Windows in the VM - from an ISO image (you can use Microsoft's Media Creation Tool to do this). This need to be Windows 10, VMware Player doesn't support Windows 11.
Once that is up and running, install the Visual Studio Remote Debuggung Tools in the VM.
Copy your binary/ies (and maybe your .PDB file/s, I don't recall if these are needed) to the VM.
Launch your app in the VM and fire up the remote debugging tools there. Then configure these for 'no security' (this makes it easier to establish a connection, and, since you're presumably in a secure environment, it's safe enough).
Connect to the Remote Debugger running in the VM from VS on the host machine. You will need to know the VM's IP address (you can find out what that is by running ipconfig in the VM).
In VS, select the application to debug.
You should now be up and running and you should have all the awesome features of the VS debugger available to you. Any problems or questions, please feel free to ask (the last few steps are a bit hazy in my mind, but I've done my best and if you can't find your way through it I'll research this a bit more).
Good luck!
Installed VMWare Remote Console 10.0.4 (latest as of writing this) on MacOS Mojave 10.14.3. installation went well, but running the app, nothing is shown on the Mac. seen some unanswered similar questions on VMWare forum here and added my question here. Have anyone seen the same issue and have a solution?
I may have sound something - when i go to a vSphere VM, i have two options: 'Launch Web Console' or 'Launch Remote Console' - if i click the latter, i get the application to open with the UI displaying as it should. so, unlike VMWare Horizon, Player and others, here it seems you need to connect to the VM first via browser, to open the desktop client. weird choice from VMware in my mind, but still some solution. See image below
Ok, I have the most recent version of virtualbox installed, my computer (HP) has an AMD A10, 64bit Windows 10 OS and 6Gb RAM.
I created a virtual machine with Windows 7, there I wanted to create a new virtual machine (a VM2 in a VM1), but I cant run it because I have no virtualization enabled in the VM1.
ok, so I checked the VM1 configuration and the virtualization is enabled in the virtualbox settings. I've tried with all the Paravirtualization interfaces and always having the Hardware Virtualization enabled (VT-x and AMD-V).
I really don't know why this is happening if this is all suposed to be enabled and there arent documentations of similar issues.
I tried changing the number of CPUs used by the VM1 and all the interfaces.
I seach for 2 days and nothing worked for me.. then i find the solution:
The problem is in Windows 10... u need to disable Hyper-V Manager ...
1) make sure in your BIOS cpu virtualization is enable.
2) open your CMD as administrator
3) in your desktop folder type bcdedit and look for hypervisorlaunchtype in the bottom ... if it is Auto or enable we need to disable it !!!!!!
See this picture
4) type in your cmd bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off
5) Restart your OS and be happy !!!
i know this is a old question ... but for everyone who have a similar problem i hope it helps !!
Turn off the core isolation security provided in the Windows Defender Security Centre.
I found that enabling it turn off your Intel Virtualization technology feature while it is enabled in BIOS.
Steps to follow:
1. Go to Windows Defender Security Centre.
2. Search for Device Security in the left Panel and click on it.
3. Now click on core isolation.
4. Turn off the memory intergrity security.
If it didnt turn off and show (This is managed by your device Administrator) then follow the steps by searching on google.
You may need to download a file and enter into registry to turn it Off. Just google it.
The answer is correct, however there is something worth mentioning:
Usually the Hyper-V Manager is enabled by Docker (Docker runs on top of HV Manager), in my case it only worked after :
Removing Docker
dism.exe /Online /Disable-Feature:Microsoft-Hyper-V
the command line will ask you to restart, then you will able to run VX images!
In my case, my os is windows 10, I enabled virtualization VTx and Vtd in BIOS, but it didn't work. After seaching online, I sovled this problem. Hope this can help people.
Press Windows key + X and select "Apps and Features".
Then click "Programs and Features" link.
Then click the "Turn Windows features on or off" link on the left pane.
Locate "Virtual Machine Plateform" option and check it.
(These two steps I'm not sure : Locate "Hyper-V" and "Windows Hypervisor Plateform" option and unmark them.)
Click OK to save the changes and reboot.
Below is the screenshot:
enable Virtualization
And you can check if it is working fine in task manager, in the performance tab you can see whether the virtualization enabled or not.
Downloaded Xamarin Android Player and with >>next>> progress installed Virtual Box.
When I tried to start an emulator I got
Failed to initialized device (name Of the emulator)
VboxManager Commendt Failed
and the detail of the error in Oracle Vm Virtualbox is
VT-x is disabled in the BIOS for both all CPU modes (VERR_VMX_MSR_ALL_VMX_DISABLED)
How can I fix this?
I have found the solution of my problem, put some images to help others, thanks

It is a RAM related issue. The documentation is self explanatory:
You are trying to allocate >3GB of RAM to the VM. This requires: (a) a
64 bit host system; and (b) true hardware pass-through ie VT-x.
Fast solution
Allocate less than 3GB for the virtual machine.
Complete solution
Make sure your system is 64 bit.
Enable virtualisation in your host machine. You can find how to do it here or there are many other resources available on Google.
Turning PAE/NX on/off didn't work for me. I just needed to turn on virtualization on my computer. I was working on a HP Compaq 8200 and followed the steps below to turn on virtualization. If you are working on a different computer, you probably just need to look up how to turn on virtualization on your pc. The steps below for HP Compaq 8200 (or similar) is copied verbatim from the comment posted by the user qqdmax5 on Hp discussion board here.
To run Oracle VM Virtual Box / VMware machines on 64-bit host there is a need to enable Virtualization Technology (VTx) and Virtualization Technology Directed I/O (VTd).
Usually these setting are disabled on the level of BIOS.
To enable VTx and VTd you have to change corresponding settings in the BIOS.
Here is an example how to do it for HP Compaq 8200 or similar PC:
Start the machine.
Press F10 to enter BIOS.
Security-> System Security
Enable Virtualization Technology (VTx) and Virtualization Technology Directed I/O (VTd).
Save and restart the machine.
There is also some discussion on this on askubuntu.
In Virtual Box "Settings" > System Settings > Processor > Enable the PAE/NX option. It resolved my issue.
I had this issue when tried to run a 32-bit OS with more than 3584 MB of RAM allocated for it. Setting the guest OS RAM to 3584 MB and less helped.
But i ended just enabling the flag in BIOS nevertheless.
Follow the steps below in Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager:
Select the Virtual device and choose Settings
Navigate to System and click the Processor tab
Tick the check-box, Enable PAE/NX
Click OK and you are done
To verify, start the Virtual device from Oracle VM VirtualBox. If all has gone well, the device boots up.
Close this device and open it from Genymotion.
For latest Windows 10 (HP & Intel motherboard/processor),
Follow the below steps, starting with :
Settings ->
Update & Security ->
Recovery ->
Advanced startUp -> Restart now
F10 (System Recovery) -> System Configuration tab -> Virtualization Technology
Enable
F10 to save and exit
For Ubuntu on HP (Intel processors),
Press F10 on booting the system, it will enter into system setup mode.
You will find tabs on top like Main, Security, Advanced.
Go into Advanced >> and click on System settings.
Mark the check boxes on Enable Virtualization Technology (VTx) and Virtualization Technology Directed I/O (VTd).
Back to Main, click on save changes and exit.
enable PAE/NX in virtualbox network config
My BIOS VT-X was on, but I had to turn PAE/NX off to get the VM to run.
You need to enable virtualization using BIOS setup.
step 1. Restart your PC and when your PC booting up then press your BIOS setup key (F1 or F2 or google it your BIOS setup key).
step 2. Go to the security menu.
step 3. Select virtualization and enable it.
Note:- BIOS setup depends on PC Manufacturer-brand.
If you're on 32-bit machine don't allow more than 3584 MB of RAM and it will run.
I had to turn PAE/NX off and then back to on...voila !!
Make sure Virtualization is enabled in your bios.
Simply check how many CPUs you are allocating. With one CPU you do not need to play with your bios.
Open your BIOS and enable virtualization.
I have found articles saying this is possible, but what are the issues? Is it 'always' straightforward as shutting down your vpc and then opening it with vmware?
From this link which is nearly 3 years old it says you can but you have to copy some windows files into the vpc before shutting it down, is that still valid?
Update 1
Found this link which goes through the mouse driver issues
I'm the guy who wrote that article. I hadn't tried converting any images recently (once I moved off Virtual PC, I never looked back), but I tried again tonight to see if anything had changed. It turns out that not much has changed at all.
I grabbed a virtual disk that Microsoft published to test IE6, tried to concoct a VPC to go with it, and ended up using VMWare's converter to convert this virtual disk to a VMWare disk. It opened just fine in VMWare Server, and when I powered up, the machine discovered some new hardware devices and asked for the drivers from the XP disk, just as I'd seen before. This, I believe, is due to the emulation differences between Virtual PC and VMWare.
I haven't gone and tracked down the drivers this VM is looking for, because I don't plan to keep it around for long, but my recollection is that once these are set up, the VM will work just fine.
Just use the VMware Converter.
The one thing that you'll probably want to do is uninstall all the VPC drivers before shutting down. The VPC and VMware mouse drivers conflict and it gets all ugly and degenerates into a bunch of registry hacking to get the mouse working again if you don't do that.
Otherwise, yep. It's that simple. I converted a whole bunch of VPC machines last year (not knowing about the mouse driver issue at the time) and it was a pretty smooth process.
Once you convert your vpc to vmware you no longer need Virtual PC. VMware Workstation is much better. If someone only needs to use an existing image they can use the free VMware player.
I did this recently. Here is what you do:
Uninstall Virtual PC Add-ins from your Guest.
Create a new VMWare based image and when it comes to selecting or creating a new Virtual Hard Drive - Select your VHD File.
Works like a charm.
