Rieju Rrx 50 Rr Sport Edition here. I'm having a nightmare of a time trying to install VMWare Player on my 32-bit 13.10. Apparently my CPU doesn't have 64-bit virtualisation support (I enabled CPU virtualisation in the bios but no joy).

Apparently something changed in a certain version of VMWare and in my scenario I'm stuck. I am trying to find out if I can get back to the last version of VMWare that will support my hardware. All versions of VMWare I've tried give me 'One or more of your processors does not have the necessary 64bit extensions to run VMware virtual machines.' Can anyone help? If you're about to ask, it does need to be VMWare and not Virtual Box or other alternatives. My understanding is that in version 4 they dropped support for 32bit cpu's.

Aaaarrgghh Spider Book. While a 32bit operating system can still be used, it must be running on a 64bit cpu. The following information may not apply to since you said you are running a 32bit OS but didn't state if you had a 32bit cpu. The links below are for workstation because Vmware posts more information about it, but player is built from workstation so often the same information applies.

VMware Workstation 9 CPU requirements: According to this a 64bit cpu is required. Jaguar X Type Navigation Dvd. VMware Workstation 6 (player 2 equivalent): www.vmware.com/pdf/ws6_manual.pdf According to the workstation 6 document an x86 or x86-64 cpu can be used. So vmware player 2 should support 32bit cpus. VMware Workstation 7 (player 3 equivalent?): www.vmware.com/pdf/ws71_manual.pdf According to the workstation 7 document some x86 cpus are still supported like the Intel Pentium 4 models that support PAE, however older ones like pentium III are not any longer. VMware Workstation 8 (player 4 equivalent?): www.vmware.com/pdf/ws80-getting-started.pdf According to the workstation 8 document a 64bit cpu is required.

If you have 32bit cpu I would suggest installing VMware Player 3 and if it doesn't work then I guess you will be stuck with version 2. If you have a 64bit cpu but are experiencing issues I would suggest trying version 4 and working your way up.

VMware Workstation 10.0.1 license key 32/64 Bit delivers a smooth way to access all of the virtual machines you need, regardless of where they are running. VMware Workstation Pro is the industry standard for running multiple operating systems on a single Linux or Windows PC. Workstation 14 Pro improves on the leading.
