    Hi all,

    I recently helping a friend doing what we are doing.
    His laptop computer is old enough, some 5 years+ old with 2GB RAM and running Windows XP.

    First step, I installed the Signalking 999WN and its driver, install OK.
    Second step, I double click on the VMWare Player 4 installation file, a pop-up window "VMWare Player 4...unable to install in this computer... ", I tried many times but still not working.

    What's the solution? I need help here.
    Thanks.

    Did you connect your wireless adapter to vmware manually?

    I just installed both VMWare 4 and VMWare 7 on another PC ( Windows XP, 1GB RAM) and it works.
    So, I guess the problem is not VMWare 4 or 7, it is probably caused by wrong settings of the old laptop, looks like I will have to spend time fixing it...

    It is telling you there is something wrong but not going into detail with exactly what. Have you gone over these?

    Installation Requirements
    When you install Workstation, the installer performs checks to make sure the host system has a processor that meets the following requirements. You cannot install Workstation if the host system does not meet these requirements.
    • 64-bit x86 CPU
    • LAHF/SAHF support in long mode
    You can use CPU-Z or a similar utility to determine if the host system CPU is 64-bit capable. CPU-Z shows EM64T (Intel) or AMD64 (AMD) if the processor is 64-bit capable.
    If you plan to install a 64-bit guest operating system in a virtual machine, the host system must have one of the following processors. Workstation will not allow you to install a 64-bit guest operating system if the host system does not have one of these processors.
    • AMD CPU that has segment-limit support in long mode.
    • Intel CPU that has VT-x support. VT-x support must be enabled in the host system BIOS. The BIOS settings that must be enabled for VT-x support vary depending on the system vendor. See VMware KB article 1003944 for information on how to determine if VT-x support is enabled.
