Few days back my friend have this some error in his VMware and he cant move his cursor out of VMware frame or nigher he can use VMware. so we try to kill VMware progress from Task Manager, but after kill all VMware progressand restart VMware have new error "VMware Workstation cannot connect to the virtual machine. Make sure you have rights to run the program and to access all directories it uses and rights to access all directories for temporary files." and we cant get solution of it even try many things.
But if you have same problame dont get penic its just a simple solution, we found that after 45min ... Just restart your system and everything will be start working as before.
I post this error here even its small because when we have this error, we do google and we dont get any big help ...
Sometimes when we try to delete file/folder from Windows, will receive error message that "Cannot delete file : Access is denied.", "Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected" or "The action can't be completed because the file is open in Windows Explorer." and its not allow us to Delete file/folder.
Here is the way to delete that File/Folder ...
1 ) Right Click on file/folder you want to delete.
2 ) Select "Properties" from popup menu.(if you dont see popup menu after right click move to stap5)
3 ) Uncheck all attributes of the file/folder.(Read me,Hidden...)
4 ) Remember Path of file/folder you want to delete, you will find path of file in file "Properties" as "location".
5 ) Open Task Manager by "Alt+Ctrl+Esc" go to File menu click on "New Task(Run)" type CMD and Press Enter to open a Command Prompt Window.6 ) Leave the Command Prompt window and Task Manager open.
7 ) In Task Manager click on the Processes tab, search for "Explorer.exe" form Processes list, Right click on its and select "End Process".
8 ) Go to Prompt Window again. (If its hide use Alt+Tab open it)
9 ) In Command Prompt Window type "CD" & " "(space) & Your File Path.
(i.e. If my file is in "C:\Some Folder", so i need to type "CD C:\Some Folder")
10) To Delete File Type "DEL" & " "(space) & Filename, or If you want to Delete Folder Type "RMDIR /S /Q & " "(space) & Folder Name. And Press "Enter".
11) That File/Folder Deleted.
12) Open Run by following stap5, Type "Explorer.exe" and hit Enter to start Explorer again.
Now That File/Folder Deleted without any Error, you can close Task Manager and Command Prompt window.
"VMware Workstation cannot connect to the virtual machine. Make sure you have rights to run the program and to access all directories it uses and rights to access all directories for temporary files." Error
