First of all, registering here was horrible agony. But before we talk about that, let's solve this issue first.
So I'm trying to install Windows 7 Professional on a virtual machine. It installs, but eventually, the player gets stuck on the first boot menu. The one where it says "Press F2 for setup" and such. The vmplayer.exe and vmware-vmx.exe processes will NOT end. I have tried EVERYTHING! Taskkill.exe doesn't work, PSkill doesn't work, Task Manager doesn't work, nothing works! The processes will just sit there and render VMWare player useless until I reboot my PC! (Which I can't even do without holding the power button, it's stuck on trying to close VMWare player forever)
This occurs when I tell the guest Windows to reboot.
Any help with this?
