  • 1.  Low On Registry Space

    Posted May 04, 2007 06:22 AM

    Hello,

    I try to import my local Win2k Sp4 machine with VMware Converter 3.0.1 build 44840.

    At 97% I get the following popup message:

    Windows - Low On Registry Space : Your maximum registry size is too small. To ensure that Windows runs properly increase your maximum registry size. For more information see Help.

    VWware output is:

    07:00:20 PM Updating boot sectors...

    07:00:21 PM Skipping boot.ini update...

    07:00:21 PM Adjusting drive letter mappings...

    07:00:22 PM Step 3 : Preparing target virtual machine

    07:00:45 PM ERROR: Unknown error returned by VMware Converter Agent

    I tried to reduce my registry but I couldn't get it smaller then 77MB.

    I suggestions?

    Thanks,

    Stephan

    I had to set the follwing registry keys:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\RegistrySizeLimit

    to 0xffffffff

    and

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\PagedPoolSize

    to 0xffffffff
