VMware 6.52

[marine1]

Hey guys need some help I have 11 VMmachines on my Windows 7 OS.
They each have 64 MB memory in the settings.
If I try power on another machine it tells me:
Not enough physical memory to power on this virtual machine..

I have 4 gigs DDR3 Ram on my machine.
How could I load more machines? If I bring the memory settings on each virtual machine then would I still be able to log into each machine in the browser?

Thanks

Think I figured it out

So, tell us...

You can limit the amount of memory that VMWare will use. That was probably the problem.

I thought I fixed it but it only gave me one extra VM machine by allowing the memory to be swapped.

What are you using the VM's for? For those sort of numbers, VMWare server may be a better option if you are no interacting with the desktops.

You have to increase the amount of memory available to VMWare: (don't have a copy of VMWare on this notebook so not entirely sure), Edit , Preferences, Memory (in the VMware app, not the VM settings).

If I recall there was also a bug on 6.5. Try to set the available memory (above), to 0 and see if you can start a VM. If you can then it means that VMWare is not updating the configuration file correctly; edit it manually:

C:\docs and settings\All Users\app data\VMware\config.ini (or thereabout)
The entry is VMMemoryLimit (or something like that....)

Sorry I can't be more specific, working out of memory here
