Disabling Acceleration to Assist with Running Certain Software in a Virtual Machine
VM > Settings > Options > Advanced
In rare instances, you may find that when you install or run software inside a virtual machine, Workstation appears to hang. Generally, the problem occurs early in the execution of the program. In many cases, you can get past the problem by temporarily disabling acceleration in the virtual machine.
To disable acceleration, check the Disable acceleration check box, then click OK to apply your changes.
This setting slows down virtual machine performance, so it is recommended only for getting past the problem with running the program. After you pass the point at which the program was encountering problems, return to the virtual machine settings editor and removing the check beside Disable acceleration. You may then be able to run the program with acceleration.
