XP won't run any .exe starting with VM !??!
Freaky.. My VMware stopped working without notice. I uninstalled the
VMplayer and attempted reinstalling, to my shock, I didn't have permission to
install. Following attempts showed no warnings. Tricked the reinstaller by
renaming it to 'player.exe' and it worked. VMWare player still didn't work,
changed the VMplayer.exe to Mplayer.exe and it opened, but subsequent
services it calls (VMdns.exe, VMservices.exe etc) can't be opened. I change
notepad.exe to vmnotepad.exe and it fails. How on earth? Anyone hazard a
guess? Malbytes shows up clean.
