VMware tip: This virtual machine appears to be in use and cannot take ownership of the workaround

When the virtual machine is running, a non-normal shutdown. Causes the virtual machine to appear with the following error:
This virtual machine appears to be in use.
If the virtual machine is already in use, press the Cancel button to avoid damaging it. If this virtual machine is not in use, press the Take Ownership (&t) button to get ownership of it.
Configuration file: D:\Virtual machines\centos-6.3\centos-6.3.vmx

But click to get ownership, and error:

Failed to acquire ownership of the virtual machine.
The virtual machine is being used by a program on your console.
Configuration file: D:\Virtual machines\centos-6.3\centos-6.3.vmx

Later a flurry of tossing, suddenly thought is not *.lck folder problem, because have encountered similar problems before.

So pound, directly delete the *.lck folder under D:\Virtual machines\centos-6.3\, and then reopen D:\Virtual MACHINES\CENTOS-6.3\CENTOS-6.3.VMX in the virtual machine.
Oh, it's normal.

Tip: If you are afraid of problems, you can first move the D:\Virtual machines\centos-6.3\ under the *.lck folder to another directory, do not delete directly.
