I use my Windows 7 VM on my work VPN with Windows remote desktop, essentially all day, and then disconnect the VPN and exit the VPN client, and suspend the VM. Then the next time that I bring up the Windows 7 VM, say a day or two after that, the time that it takes to resume the VM is normal, but the VM runs slowly enough that I always need to reboot it. After a reboot it runs fine. I'm wondering if anyone out there has experienced this and has some advice what might be causing the very slow VM performance after resuming it? I don't mind re-booting the VM, I'm just mystified why I should need to.
Some specifics...I run VMware Workstation on a Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OS. It is version 7.1.3 of Workstation. The Windows 7 VM is a 32-bit Professional OS, with a 16GB. virtual disk, using about 12GB. of that currently.
Any ideas on why the VM runs so slow after resuming it? It wasn't always that way, this slowness just suddenly started after several months of normal behavior. Anything to look at in the VM or VMware Workstation? It did start after I started using version 7.1.3 of Workstation, but I don't think that it was immediately after that, but my memory isn't anywhere near perfect *smile*.
Thanks for your help.
