Hi everyone,
i have a problem with vmware workstation 9 hosted on linux mint 14 and virtual machines. I have two guest virtual machines: windows xp professional and windows 8 professional. Both start and run properly, but after a random time both hang, the hard disk of host machine begins to write continuously, so the host machine hangs and after 4/5 minutes the interface of vmware workstation is closed. If i try to restart the interface of vmware workstation, i found the virtual machines in the last god state and i can work without problem.
Why?
