To resolve this problem, rename the Vmcpd.vxd file in the Windows\System\Vmm32 folder to Vmcpd.old, and then restart your computer. To do so, right-click the Vmcpd.vxd file in the Windows\System\Vmm32 folder, click Rename, type "vmcpd.old" (without quotation marks), press ENTER, and then restart your computer.
