I have a HP Dv6 Laptop with Windows 7 home/premium 64 bit OS, 2nd gen i7 2.2 ghz and 8gb of RAM. I am taking a college course that utilizes VMworkstation for a server(win 2008 r2) and 2 Windows 7 clients running all in separate virtual machines. I logged onto to the server and one client to create additional users for a class lab. My host and virtual machine froze. I was not able to move the curser, execute ctl, alt, delete or anything at all. I had to force a shutdown by pressing the power button. I know that's a no no, however it was the only way to exit. So I uninstalled VM-ws and deleted the 3 VMs that were previously created from school so I could start fresh. I re-installed everything and attempted to use the Windows 2008r2 Vm, with the same negative results. Prior to booting the Vm immediately after re-installation I changed the the default memory (on the VM) allacation from 1gb to 2gb and also enabled the VT setting in my laptop's BIOS.
