Solved - You have an incorrect version of driver "vmx86.sys" - VMWare Workstation 8

I have just installed VMWare Workstation 8 over my old VMWare Workstation 6.5 on Windows 7. On my first run I already got the error message: Could not get vmx86 driver version: The handle is invalid. You have an incorrect version of driver "vmx86.sys". Try reinstalling VMware Workstation. Failed to initialize monitor device. Obviously, I was concerned, but there is a simple way to solve it - just right-click the VMWare Workstation icon and use Run as Administrator. This is a bit annoying, but at least it is easy to solve. Update: I forgot to mention it, but as Dave said on the comments, you can right-click on the program shortcut, choose Properties, Compatibility tab and check Run as Administrator so that it will always run properly. Thanks, Dave!

Orcs Must Die! won't launch - SOLVED

I've just tried to run Orcs Must Die! , but I had a problem. It wouldn't run at all, just launch the icon and then disappear quietly. I found the solution in this FAQ  by the game authors. It is fairly easy: - Find the game on Steam (if you have a large list like me, might be easier to switch to Recently Played games first) - Right-click on the game title - Choose the Local Files tab - Verify Integrity of Game Cache There were 8 files with problems on mine. After that the game ran fine. And I have to say that so far I like it a lot - see Orcs Must Die! Review  for my opinion. Amazon.com Widgets
