Hello,
I'm running an AMD-64 X2 based system with 6GB RAM. Host OS is Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. Using VMware Player 3.0.1.
Guest OS is Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit. Was originally built on an Intel based system, and complained when I switched it to an AMD system, but the image seems to run fine while it's active.
The problem I'm having is when I leave VMware Player running and somebody performs a Switch User from Windows to switch to another user profile on the same host machine. The player seems to run OK in the background, but then when I switch back to the original user and attempt to resume working with the virtual machine, the Player seems to be locked up with only a black screen where the guest OS should be visible.
The only resolution is to use Player to force Power Off the guest OS. I can then usually wait a bit, start Player, and re-boot the guest OS.
The issue seems to be related to Windows User Switching on the Host OS while running the guest OS.
Any thoughts or ideas?
Thanks,
Tom
