I have used vmware for many years with little trouble over that time. I have a windows 7 image that has run well for a long time under vmware workstation 7. Then, one day last month, Windows Update was running on it and it got stuck on update 11 of 13. I let it run for a day or two but it never got to step 12. I restored a backup image but it eventually got to the point that it would not run either - I don't know if it is caused by that same windows update or not.
The symptoms are that it is always at 100% CPU and it operates so slow that it is unusable. If I restore a past, good, image again it get that way after a single run.
I have attached a log file.
Where do I start troubleshooting?
Thanks,
Gary
