Hi, I've installed VMW Server 1.0.4 b56528 on WinXP Pro SP2.
Freshly installed VMW Server and after resetting the computer (without even running VMW Console) I get an application event error.
here are 6 events that appear at once, every 5 seconds, flooding the event viewer.
1. Description:
The description for Event ID ( 100 ) in Source ( vmauthd ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: Failed to read registry perf object Memory\Committed Bytes
2. Same description but: Failed to read registry perf object Memory\Pool Paged Bytes
3. Same description but: Failed to read registry perf object Memory\Pool Nonaged Bytes
4. Same description but: Failed to read registry perf object Memory\Pool Faults/sec
5 Same description but: Failed to read registry perf object Process\ID Process
6. Same description but: Failed to read registry perf object Memory\Cache Bytes
Already visited and performed actions explained here:
Re-entered a new serial.
Installed Extensible Performance Counter List (exctrlst.exe) and checked ALL the items on the list.
Stopped/Started (and restarted) all VMware services
vmware-authd.exe service is Logged On as Local System Account.
Disabled Antivirus and Firewall.
Stating the obviuos: If I stop the VMware Authorization Service, the problem goes away; then of course VMware is disconnected and doesn't function.
Services and running processes are shown on the attached file.
No success.
Please help.
