VMware Player is the easiest way to run multiple operating systems at the same time on your computer.
With its user-friendly interface, VMware Player makes it effortless for anyone to try out Windows 7, Chrome OS or the latest Linux releases, or to create virtual "sandboxes" to test pre-release software in. VMware Player can also be used to run a virtual copy of an old PC so that you can recycle the old machines you have under your desk or stored in the closet.

VMware Player 7.1.2 changes:
-
This release of VMware Player includes bug fixes.
Known Issues
- Using a USB headset with a Windows 8 or later guest operating system does not work
- Because most USB headsets expect a USB 2.0 controller, whereas Windows 8 and later guest operating systems use a USB 3.0 controller by default, you cannot use USB headsets with Windows 8 or later guests.
- Workaround: Change the USB controller of the guest from USB 3.0 to USB 2.0.
Resolved Issues
- Using audio conferencing software on a Windows 8 guest operating system caused a severe echo during both video and audio calls
- When you used audio conferencing software on a Windows 8 guest, participants using the built in speaker, as opposed to headphones, received a severe echo during both video and audio calls.
- This issue is resolved.
- Could not access Help from Virtual Machine Settings dialog box
- You could not access the Help system by clicking Help on the Virtual Machine Settings dialog box.
- This issue is resolved.
