Restarting a suspended Virtual Machine

Today I  tried to start suspended windows server 2008 Virtual Machine from another host machine.
VM didn't want to work;

"The virtual machine you are attempting to restore is using the FFXSR CPU feature, but your host does not support it.  An error occurred while restoring the virtual machine state from file "G:\virtual machines\windows server\windows server 2008 R2 X 64-6db70672.vmss".

Solution: Close Vmware workstation.  Locate the virtual machine's folder.  Delete the .vmss, .lck, and .nvram files.

Ref: Vmware KB.

Thank you! This worked.

I had a VM restored from an AMD 64 computer that could not be brought back online to remove the suspend.

Using your method helped me.

Thank you!
