Hi all. I got this problem wit the VM Player. I downloaded it and installed it on my laptop and when I open the Player it opens. That is not the problem. The problem is when I try to launch UBUNTU, it says guess operating system has disabled the CPU and the VM Player has to be suspended or powered off. Has anyone else every seen this? My specs are on an HP tx1210> 2 GB of Ram, dual core AMD's running at 1.9 GHz, Nvidia 6150 graphics chipset, and I'm running the 32 bit version of Windows 7 Ultimate. Is there any way to fix this?I have 2 ideas, I don't KNOW if either of them will be the answer.

This is 32 bit Ubuntu, right? If it's 64 bit Ubuntu, you can't have a 64 bit guest on a 32 bit host.

If you migrated an existing Ubuntu installation from another laptop or from a dual boot, then the problem MAY be if Speedstep was not disabled before migration (when the OS was copied into a VM). In this case, run Ubuntu natively and disable Speedstep, then migrate again.

It a 32 bit version of Ubuntu. I'm not migrating anything. I think I figured it out but I don't know if it means anything. I got the Ubuntu iso from another website to be used to create a bootable Ubuntu flash drive. I don't know if that matters, but I will open the VM Player and just download a distro from the VM Ware site. Thanks anyway.
