I had a perfectly working Ubuntu 12.04 VM running in VmWare player with Windows 8 as the host OS. I sent the Ubuntu VM to sleep from the Ubuntu menu (not the suspend option in VMWare Player). When I wanted to resume work, I was unable to wake the virtual machine. I then copied the VM folder and ran it on a different PC with Windows 8 as the host OS. I choose "I copied it" as the option when VMWare player asked. Now it is stuck at the screen with "Ubuntu 12.04" and four dots that no longer animate.
Before various unsuccessful attempts, the VM was stuck at the screen with the text "starting virtual printing" or something like that.
