Today I faced a issue while using VMware player, I was trying to access my newly created vm but when I was trying to run it, it was giving me an error:
"Error while powering on internal error"
I tried lot of troubleshooting like creating new vm, re-creation of vm, reinstallation of VMware player. But nothing worked.
Then I found a KB on VMware site, the VMware Authorization Service is not running.
To check if service is running or not:

Then I found a KB on VMware site, the VMware Authorization Service is not running.
To check if service is running or not:
- You should be a member of Administrator group.
- Click Start and then type Run.
- Type services.msc and click OK.
- Locate the VMware Authorization service.
- Click Start the service.
So if this service is not running please run it, it will solve your problem.
