Hi, I have a VM running Windows2003 (64bit) under an Esxi, and the Esxi under VMware workstation 8.

Anyone can give me an advice? Thanks!!!!

My PC - CPU: i7 - 3770, 3.4Ghz, RAM:16GB

Esxi - CPU: 4 processors 2 cores, RAM:4GB

Wind2003 - CPU: 2 processors 2 cores, RAM:4GB

Has it always done this?

If not, what changed?

Does it still repro if you don't do nested virtualisation?

Thank you for your reply.

Yes, always done this. Even I just right click "My Computer". I tried RDP to this server, but it still happens. It is a new and only one server under the Esxi.

Does it still repro if you don't do nested virtualisation?

No, If I installed the Win2003 just under the workstation, it works fine. Looks the esxi causes this...

I'd make sure all your VMware Additions (drivers in guest) are all up to date and you're running all the Workstaion and ESXi patches

Why are you still using 2003? Why not 2008r2 or 2012

Hold on, you have the ESXi hypervisor running on VMWare workstation, and this is running on your host computer? and Windows 2003 is running within the ESXi hypervisor?
