Ensuring that Memory Limits Settings Are Applied
Details
I have enabled memory limits and set the limit to an
appropriate number, but I still get an error message telling me I
must increase the memory limits in order to start my virtual machine.
Why?
Solution
In some circumstances, VMware Workstation on a Windows host may
read a value from the wrong file, interfering with the proper
setting of the memory limits enabled in the application settings (Edit>Application Settings>Memory).
To correct the problem, exit VMware Workstation, then delete the
following file: C:\Documents and Settings\[user_name]\Application
Data\VMware\preferences.ini
