Hi,
First vCenter Server Can not be installed on Windows 7 OS. You have installed vCenter 4.1 on Server OS.
Below is the minimum requirement of installtion of vCenter 4.1
Minimum requirements for the vCenter Server are as follows:
Processor: Two 64-bit CPUs Intel or AMD x64 2.0GHz or faster (could be one dual core - the key is two logical processors at a minimum)
Memory: 3GB RAM. RAM requirements may be higher if your database runs on the same machine. (VMware VirtualCenter Management WebServices requires 128Mb to 1.5GB of memory which is allocated at startup)
Disk storage: 2GB (Disk requirements may be higher if your database runs on the same machine)
Networking: 1GB recommended (If physical team NICs for redundancy)
Database: SQL Express for small deployments (5 hosts/50 VMs) or see below for supported databases.
Note: If you will be running SQL Server on the same server as vCenter server (thats either express or standard/enterprise) the requirements for the above will be higher.
Operating System:
Windows XP Pro SP2 (SP2 required, 64-bit)
Windows Server 2003 (SP1 required, 64-bit)
Windows Server 2008 (64-bit)
Windows Server 2008 R2
