VMWare backup - doesn't load in VMWare 9.0

Thread needs solution

Hi guys,

Been using VMware for years and just started using Acronis 11 to create a virtual machine in addition to a full image backup. However, when I try to load the virtual machine into VMware 9.0.0, what happens is that the operating system, Windows 7 Ultimate, starts with "Windows is loading files..." runs twice through that process and then reboots and for a moment I see the VMware loading screen.

Note that I'm NOT loading this on the same machine, but another one, just to test. I have run through the hardware compatibility wizard, but that didn't help. I've tried to change the VMware version compatibility but no matter what I do, it just starts loading and then reboots.

Any ideas? It's not a big deal since I have an image backup as well, but I've learned from experience that verifying that backup options work is very important and so far this option doesn't work for me.

Best regards,

Hi guys,

I have verified that the VM loads fine on the same machine it was taken from so I guess there are hardware incompatibilities between those two computers that are big enough for it not to load on the other machine. Now I know:)

Best regards,
