VMWare guest OS as bridge gives BSOD in host (bridge.sys) - windows-8

I'm using Windows 8 x64 with a Ubuntu 12.04 x64 guest in VMWare. I'm trying to use the guest network as bridged but it always gives me a BSOD:
DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (bridge.sys)
I already disabled Hyper-V on Windows 8 (programs and features) and installed VMWare tools in guest OS. What else do I need to do?

GPU acceleration on Linux virtual machine

Is it possible to enable GPU acceleration on virtual machine, using Windows 10 Pro as host and Ubuntu 20.04 as virtual machine? I have tried Hyper-V and it didn't worked, propably because it is only for Windows Server 16. Unfortunately, I can't make a dualbot installation.
Does anyone have any proven way to use GPU and Linux, having only windows installed?

VMware player: could not find component on update server

I installed MacOS 10.15 "Catalina" on VMWare Workstation Player in Windows 10 as host.
Now I want to install VMWare Tools so I clicked Player -> Manage -> Install VMware tools but I got this error:
I am using this version of player:
VMware® Workstation 15 Player
15.5.2 build-15785246
You can download the latest version here:
https://packages.vmware.com/tools/releases/latest/windows/x64/
Notice this folder is for Windows x64, browse for your OS, if different.
Download to your VM and install... then close the VM to get everything in sync.

is it possible to install ESXi on linux?

ESXi installs on a physical machine separately. I mean it's not a software which installs on an OS like a Linux machine. Am I right?
I need something like ESXi server to be installed on a CentOS 5 physical machine.
What's your suggestion?
ESXi is a Hypervisor which installs directly onto hardware. Its almost like a mini OS if you like, so you can't install that on Linux. Software which will provide virtualization on top on the OS will be the likes of KVM, Xen or VirtualBox which would be better suited for you (sounds like it anyway)

please help. my specs - intel i7 2670 memory- 6GB HDD-700 GB graphics - radeon 7670 HD
I have got windows 7 ultimate 64-Bit installed on the host
You need to enable 'Virtualization' option in your BIOS settings. The name of the settings may be different in different BIOS/motherboard brands. But you can easily identify it, in the BIOS.
I also had the same problem. I am in windows 8.1 and for my case, the problem was due to conflicts with Hyper-V who was activated in my system. I solved the problem by disabling Hyper-V.
Open windows features and Uncheck Hyper-V, click/tap on OK

Is it possible to use Windows Phone 8 Emulator outside of current PC

I've installed Windows 8 as guest in Hyper-V VM. Tried to launch WP8 emulator and failed.
So I have a question: Is it possible to reuse WP8 emulators in host system to develop inside virtual machine?
As far as I know - it's not possible, you can only debug on real devices or emulators running on the same machine. Also the machine for running emulators must run on bare metal, not in virtualized environment because of some requiredm CPU features like SLAT.
