VMware Player is the easiest way to run multiple operating systems at
the same time on your PC. With its user-friendly interface, VMware
Player makes it effortless for anyone to try out Windows 7 or the latest
Linux releases, or create isolated virtual machines to safely test new
software and surf the Web. VMware Player can also be used to run a
virtual copy of an old PC so that you can recycle the old machines you
have under your desk or stored in the closet. VMware Player allows
anyone to try new operating systems without rebooting your PC to switch
between them. Easy Install makes creating virtual machines with the
latest 32-bit and 64-bit Windows and Linux operating systems easier than
installing them directly on your PC. Run over 200 supported operating
systems including Windows XP, Windows 7, Ubuntu 9.10 and RHEL 5, and
many other versions of Windows, Linux, and more. OS : Windows XP/Vista/7 (x86/x64)

Windows XP virtual machines with better graphics, faster performance,
and tighter integration than Windows XP mode offers. With Unity, shared
folders and drag and drop convenience, VMware Player is the better way
to run Windows XP on Windows 7. Use VMware vCenter Converter to
transform your existing Windows PC into a virtual machine and eliminate
the need to re-install and re-configure your existing applications which
is necessary with Windows XP Mode. Run corporate virtual
machines, experiment with new operating systems, or safely try and test
new software in an isolated environment on your PC. VMware Player is the
ideal way to try out a virtual appliance. Virtual appliances are
pre-built, pre-configured and ready-to-run enterprise software
applications packaged along with an operating system in a virtual
machine. Quickly and easily experience the benefits of these
applications without the installation or configuration hassles. Built

What’s New in VMware Player Version 3.1.4 Build 385536:- In
Player 3.1, the default main memory VA cache size (mainMem.vaCacheSize)
for 32-bit Windows guests was reduced to accommodate 3D emulation
memory requirements. However, the reduced value resulted in performance
loss. For 3.1.4, the default main memory VA cache size has been be
increased to 1000 MB and performance is improved.
- Because Player
failed to identify more than 10 USB host controllers in newer Windows
guests, some USB devices did not appear in the Removable Devices menu.
Now Player shows all USB devices in the Removable Devices menu as long
as they are connected to the first identified 16 USB controllers.
- The
application vmware-modconfig UI could not start up in a KDE 4 session
in a SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop (SLED) 11 environment.
- VMware
Tools upgrade could be started by a non-administrator user from the
VMware Tools Control Panel in a Windows guest. In this release, only
administrator users can start VMware Tools upgrade from the VMware Tools
Control Panel. To prevent non-administrator users from starting VMware
Tools upgrade from a guest by using other applications, set
isolation.tools.autoinstall.disable to TRUE in the virtual machine
configuration (.vmx) file.
- When a virtual machine running on a
Windows host was used to access an Omron Industrial CP1L Programmable
Logic Controller, Player generated an unrecoverable error.
- When using NAT virtual networking on Windows hosts, the traceroute command did not work when used within virtual machines.
- The Easy Install feature did not work for Fedora 14 guest operating systems.
- During
VMware Tools installation on a Fedora 14 64-bit guest operating system,
the following warning message was generated while building the vsock
module: case value ’255′ not in enumerated type ‘socket_state’.
- The Easy Install feature did not work for Red Hat Linux 6 guest operating systems.
- The
VMware Tools HGFS provider DLL caused a deadlock when making calls to
the WNetAddConnection2 function from an application such as eEye Rentina
in a Windows guest operating system.
- There was no option to
disable guest time sync when a host resumes. Now you can set
time.synchronize.resume.host to FALSE in the virtual machine
configuration (.vmx) file to disable guest time sync when a host
resumes. See VMware Knowledge Base Article 1189 for other time sync
options.
- Setting a hidden attribute on a file in a shared folder
from a Windows guest on a Linux host failed with an error. This problem
caused applications such as SVN checkout to fail when checking out to
shared folders on Linux hosts from Windows guests.
