W2K Guests won't power off

$

GSX v3.1.0 build-9089

 

I "inherited" our VM machines from a previous employee,

When using the console to access them was getting the

"tools are out of date"/"tools not installed" message on some of them.

(believe they were originally built with GSX v2.5)

So I went thru and (re)installed tools on the ones reporting these

messages.

 

Now have 2 W2K guests that won't power off when issued a command line "stop"

found the following KB answer...

 

Answer ID: 1006

Windows 2000 Virtual Machine Stops at "Safe to turn off computer" Screen

 

Both the guests ".vmx"s had line-

gui.exitOnCLIHLT = "FALSE"

 

I changed to the KB fix of- TRUE

tried with & without quotes around

also removed the line completely

 

Still have same problem.

Something else needs to be done?
