VMWare WorkStation Error – Not enough physical memory is available to power on this virtual machine – Fix

All of a sudden my workstation stopped complaining of this error.

vmware_memory_error

Try to login with admin credentials as a first step (if you are NOT local admin on the system)

VMWare Admin

Solution is 3 steps:

1) Check if config.ini exists in the folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware Workstation). If it does not exist, create a file called as config.ini in the same above folder.

If it already exists add the line

vmmon.disableHostParameters = "TRUE"

2) Now copy the modified config.ini file to theĀ %appdata%\vmware path

3) Reboot the system and launch VMWare workstation again.
