hi, I keep getting a running out of virtual memory error when I run my vmware test. I've done it with just the windows image without any update just the basic image with my programs installing. I don't know what the problem is, and how to stop it. Also the my oobe settings never work. And the file is in the correct folder.

It could be the virtual memory on your host machine.

Go to Start > Control Panel > System > Advanced (tab) > Settings (under Performance) > Advanced (tab) > Change (under Virtual Memory).

Select a custom size and change the initial and maximum sizes to 1 1/2 of your RAM size (usually 766 MB these days for 512 MB RAM). Click on Set (very important) > OK > OK > OK.

If the number that you set is larger than the currently set minimum value, then expect a decrease in your hard drive's free space.

Thanks, I'm going to try that

Make sure you haven't set (in VMWare) the virtual machine to use too much memory. The host and the virtual machine share your system RAM, so set it accordingly. You should use the page file as little as possible because it is a lot slower than RAM.

If you use VMWare a lot you may want to buy some more RAM for better performance.
