If you are presented with a “VMware Workstation unrecoverable error: (vthread-16)” then the answer should be fairly simple, if like me your graphics card is starting to get old then it may simply not be as functional with vmware workstation. I am assuming that you are using Workstation, so in windows, simply navigate to the folder where the VM is stored and delete the folder labeled “.lck-xxxx”. There may be other files or folders that need to be deleted but once this is done view the virtual machine settings and select display, untick the Accelerate 3D Graphics and apply. Your virtual machine should now run without issue.
VMware: Exception 0x0000005 (access violation) has occurred.
