2) Select "Enable drag and drop to and from VM" and "Enable Copy paste to and from this VM"
3) Go to VM option of Virtual Machin.

Could not open virtual machine (Already in use)

Hello ,

I was running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 in virtual machine on Windows XP , due to some OS problem i decided to use alternate Windows VISTA which was also installed physically ,
So when i started vista and opend VMware Configuration file , i came across this error .

Solution : (Little problem but very common one)
-----------

Simple go to location where you installed OS and check .lck folder
Delete any .lck files in this folder and its done!

Now you can run your OS without any problem!

Thank You ,
