VMWare white screen

Hellou!

After reinstalling windows, and setting up VMWare I discovered my Maple wont start, it just shows a whitescreen with sound of Maple only. I tried adjusting Compatibility mode to 98/ME or any other there was, still nothing. I tried running setup in MapleRoyals folder still nothing.

Anyone could suggest anything else I could try please?

 

Well here are my points on this.
(What Windows version are u using?)

• do not resize the VMware window while maple is running in full screen mode
• select "run as administrator" in execution options
• if running vista/7 also check compatibility mode "Windows XP service pack 3"
• maybe u didn't provide the VA enough vram / direct x hardware support?

 

I'm using windows XP, i dont resize anything, i put 2gb of ram to it

 

Yeah Tim, I tried that and it's the same =/

 

Bump. Please help <3

 

Are you on windows 8?

 

Windows 7 @Egonics

 

I heard maple don't work with anything but VMware workstation on win 8 that's why.
You could try some other VMware program might fix it, I would recommend workstation I use it and it's very simple.

 

I'm not entirely sure if you're running VMWare on OS X, but if you are, I've found in my personal experience that Parallels is a lot more stable and reliable than VMWare is.

Edit: thought you were having Royals white-screen issues. But the same advice still applies: Parallels > VMWare.

 

@Egonics is it same as VMware ? that "workstation"?

 

Plss I had to google to check there actually were different VMware, but google VMware workstation 11 that's the one I'm using.
was a bit hard to find the free download version.

Here is the link you can google it or something not always good to click on others links.

You would also need to buy it or it will expire in a few days.

 

Well I don't know why I didn't asked yet, is the reason you're running VMware at all because of the instability of The Wine Mac Wrapper?

if so I would recommend using either parallels or even better boot camp.

 

Im using windows 7, and installed win xp on the VMware. it was working perfectly fine a couple of days ago, but was laggy. So i completly reanstalled my windows 7 and started building everything again, and today this happened, and it literally breaks when I try to upgrade win xp on vmware to win xp sp pack 3 , because nothing else seems to help to get rid of white screen

 

I'm trying to upgrade the windows xp to sp3, maybe this will help whitescreen so as shown on the screen this happens when I try to install it

 

Well if ur running win7 on your computer, why the hell do u want to install vmware at all ?
do u need more as 2 instances of Royals (sandboxie) at the same time ? because theres no point of VMWare otherwise.

 

My boyfriend @Kith posted a topic for alternative, because with sandbox it just runs out of memory and client closes after 20-30 minutes

 

Well if it runs out of mem with sandbox i guess you will have way bigger problems with a full emulated VM as this is consuming MUCH more resources as a sandboxie

 

@Lacrima could you advice on sandbox?

 

@Petty i would need further information then, to understand what exactly your problem with sandboxie is.
You said something about "it runs out of memory and closes" with memory you meaned RAM ? Do you have proof for that theorie ? How much System Memory do u have installed ?
