I converted my old Windows XP Professional x64 installation from a physical to a virtual machine, and it boots up just fine in VMware Player 4.0.1. The vm is a Workstation 8.0 vm, and I can access all the local files just fine. However, shortly after Windows has brought me to the main screen, a dozen or so Found New Hardware Wizard prompts pop up, and it can't seem to find the proper drivers for the virtual devices.
From what I've seen in the few other similar issues I've found here, it's often because the person specified the wrong version of Windows (e.g., 64-bit instead of 32-bit), though I do seem to have the correct option set. Does anyone have any ideas of what might be wrong? I can't get any network connectivity in the guest, nor does a disc drive appear, even though I have both specified in the vm's settings.
I've attached my .vmx file here, in case it helps. Thanks a lot for any advice!
