VMWare guest OS :- memory access violation error

Vmware guest gives an error while booting when the RAM allocated for guest is more and shared between guest and host.

Also while increasing the RAM VMware workstation gives a warning that the ram will be shared and performance may vary.

If you ignore this and still boot the guest machine,  once booted it will throw an error as access right violation and powersdown the virtual machine.

To avoid this, I added the following two lines into .VMX file.

MemTrimRate=0
sched.mem.pshare.enable = "FALSE"


Now the guest is booted and working fine.
