VMWare

Downloaded VMware, and other assoc. z files from rockbox site. Installed. When asked for configuration file, I click on unzipped rockbox file-it gives a message, running low on physical memory. If you reboot vmplayer could try making more space and though I reboot I keep getting the same message, though there's about 5 GB sitting on my Hard drive. Could some one help me Out ? I tried reinstalling the entire package again, but of no avail. Please help !!

Memory and hard drive space are two completely different things.
Look at this post:

Be sure to read the entire post as the bit about changing memory is at the end.

Well at this point I'm down in my boots. I'd really like to start some serious compiling but for some reason I cannot get my cygwin or VMPlayer installed. I would be really grateful if someone could help me out.
I tried cygwin initially, but It wouldn't install past the 50% mark. It kept giving me some close down error on unisimulator and the next window would be a Dr. Watson debugger...... error. I tried cygwin using minimum installation but of no avail. So I decided to switch to vmplayer 'cause there are files out on the net to setup a virtual env.
VMplayer gives me the following error ...
Not enough physical memory to setup virtual env. Please try rebooting and vmplayer could try making additional space......
I tried following a another document on this post a couple of days back memory=256 in the config file but that doesn't work. And I tried installing the same software on another friend's machine and I get exactly the same problem. Please .....some tech please help me out. I need this so bad.
Thanks....
