I've successfully installed the freeware player onto my win 10 host system, created a virtual machine, installed xp, and installed whatever version of vmware tools that was bundled with the player. I'm new to virtualization and to workstation player 15. While I appreciate the VMWare Player I have installed is somewhat an old version, I would be grateful for help in being able to successfully run the VM. Tried an earlier version of the VM that has significantly less installed to it,īut all these attempts did not resolve the problem, same error message, and I have since put the changed settings back to before they were changed. Setting compatibility mode to treat the VMPlayer as running on Windows 7. The guest VM is set to 512 MB of RAM, and a hard disk current size 1.7 GB, with system free 126.9 GB, and with a maximum size of 8 GB.

The host has 126 GB free on the hard drive in question and 16 GB of RAM. Rebooting may allow you to use slightly more host memory to run virtual machines.'

If you were able to power on this virtual machine on this host computer in the past, try rebooting the host computer. 'Not enough physical memory is available to power on this virtual machine with its configured settings. When I try to run that VM using the same version of VM Player now installed to a Windows 8.1 PC notebook, I get the following error message: I have a backup of a VM of Windows 98 SE which had loaded successfully using the same version of VMware Player on a now broken machine (that had run Windows 7 SP1).

I have VMware Player 3.1.5, 32 bit installed to 64 bit Windows 8.1.
