VMWare [at] Windows8

Not enough physical memory is available to power this virtual machine with its configured settings.

You must add a setting to the config file to restrict Workstation to using a percentage of the host’s available RAM.

- First Shut down all running virtual machines and exit Workstation.

- Open the config.ini file located at C:ProgramDataVMwareVMware Workstation.

- Add this line to the file: vmmon.disableHostParameters = TRUE

- Save and close the file.

- Restart Windows.
