The Tools are not available on the VMware Software Update Server. This makes it impossible to create new proper virtual machines and update existing ones. Theough this issue has been discussed on the VMware Community Discussion forum for VMware Player since the release, and attempts have been made to inform VMware through tech support and other means, VMware has not yet corrected this glaring omission. In fact, VMware tech support actively ignores the issue if you try to tell them. If this negative experience continues much longer, many people will be turned off VMware Player onto other free alternatives such as Virtual. Box. Updated on Feb 2. As of 2. 7 Feb 2. Tools are available through the application GUI, so I'll update my VMware Player 4. I tried to click on four stars, but it said I "broke the internet" by clicking on a "borked" link.)Reply to this review. Was this review helpful?(0) (0) Pros. It is very easy to setup. It has 3. D video acceleration and you can go full screen very easily. With my Win. 7 6. I am able to move the cursor from host to quest quite fluidly, I don't have to use the keystrokes to switch, it just does it. Cons. All VM's have some kind of flaw. This one uses a lot of horsepower if trying to run 3. D games but if you have at least a 2. OK. Summary. I can now run XP on my Win. Not a fan of dual boot personally, this works for me. Better than Windows VPC and Virtual. Box in my opinion, I tried them too. Updated on Sep 3, 2. After considering this one against the competition, I should have given it five stars. My bad. Oh, it's also free for personal use. Be sure to download the tools, it updates the video and other things. Reply to this review. Was this review helpful?(1) (0) Pros. Extraordinary ease of use. Cons. None so far. Summary. I had specialized scanner software and a legacy digital voice recorder that would not run on my new computer under Windows 7 6. Installed VMware Player, then Windows XP Home 3. I expected a sophisticated operation like this would be difficult, but it was drop- dead simple. The toughest part was doing all the updates to Windows. The scanner and DVR software work perfectly.

Thanks VMware for a great FREE product that works as it says and your excellent customer service! Reply to this review. Was this review helpful?(0) (0) Pros. Used it on Windows 7 to install Windows XP, and Ubuntu. Needed XP to continue to use HP Precision Scanjet Scanner for which there are no drivers that run Windows 7. This was very easy to install & use, and works perfectly. Cons. Ubuntu installed very easily, and almost perfectly, but failed to file share with the host platform. This problem has been observed by others, but at present I don't know the solution, and need to research it further. Summary. If VMplayer (version 3. I would have probably been forced to throw away my HP scanner, which still functions very well, but cannot run directly on Windows 7. VMplayer is extremely well documented, and has an excellent user interface. I also like the ability to install another operating system like Ubuntu, knowing that it cannot possibly interfere with the host Windows 7. The player is useful in other ways too. For example, I can test my Windows 7 backup disc by trying to install it within the VMware environment. The proper use of the guest operating system depends on the ability to share files with the host environment. Hence, I am surprised about the failure of my Ubuntu installation to share files, even though this problem had already been observed by others. Reply to this review. Was this review helpful?(1) (0) Pros. None- it nearly destroyed my computer as after I downloaded it my keyboard no longer worked. Cons. After downloading VM ware player my keyboard no longer worked and neither did the touch pad. Summary. After I downloaded VM ware player,which did not install anyway,my computer keyboard and touch pad no longer worked. So I had to perform a system restore- recovery. To set my computer a Netbook back to an earlier time before I downloaded VM ware player. It was lucky my plug in mouse still worked,as the keyboard did not nor did my touch pad after downloading this product. With the plug in mouse I was able to get to system restore to do a recovery and thank god,this saved my computer. As it put it back to 2 days ago before I downloaded VM ware player and now my keyboard and everything else on my laptop is back to normal. But I had to reinstall Google Chrome Canary again as VM player destroyed the browser,which I had use to download VM player with. But if it had not been for system restore I would not have a computer now,as I would not have been able to use it without the keypad. So my warning is don't download this product what ever you do. Unless you want to wreck your computer. VM ware player is a dangerous download. Reply to this review. Read replies (3)Was this review helpful?(2) (4) Reply by andreaborman on February 2. It is not true that a Netbook cannot run Windows 7 Home premium. I have 3 Netbooks and they have all been upgraded,1 has Windows 7 Ultimate,the other Windows 7 Professonial and the 3rd has Windows 7 Home Premium. I enjoy the full features that Windows 7 has to offer. Netbooks can run higher editions of Windows 7. It is just that Windows 7 is new and that makers of Netbooks are too mean to install a higher version of Windows 7 on them. Because they want to keep costs low and even full sized laptops only get Windows 7 Home Premium if they are lucky, nothing more. Unless you upgrade. But it's was not my Netbook that was the problem it is this software above- VMlware player that is the problem. No software however bad it is should do that to a computer. Andrea Borman. Reply by stonena. February 4, 2. 01. Don't use a netbook and try and install VMware. You need to get a real computer and a real OS and then try it out. Unless you have upgraded to Windows 7 Home Premium, which I wouldn't recommend doing with a netbook, don't download this software. It is not compatible with your OS. You should remove this post since you don't know what you are doing. You can't even master the English language so why should anyone listen to your post having to do with computers.

GUI is quite minimal. Summary. The payload of virtualization is still high in terms of performances, IMHO WMP is on par with other entry level solutions. Updated on Mar 8, 2. Only viable free virtualization solution from VMWare now that they completely ruined VMWServer and were not capable of recovering the situation after months of disgruntled user's protests.
