The problem can also be caused by errors in the VMWare virtual PC program or possibly some registry problems. To get rid of the frustrating error messages that plague you, the issues causing the problem need to be resolved.
How to correct these errors
The way to fix VMNetBridge.dll errors on your PC involves making sure both the virtual PC program and the dll file are working properly. First, you must reinstall the VMWare program to provide fresh copies of the various program files that it uses. You must first remove the program by clicking Start> Run and then type “appwiz.cpl” and press the ENTER key. Select the VMWare program from the list and click the “Remove” or “Uninstall” button. When the uninstallation is complete, you must restart your PC and when you log back into Windows, either insert the CD installer into the CD drive or find the installer file on your hard drive and run a new installation.
The registry is a large and very complicated central database that Windows accesses almost constantly to retrieve file and program settings. Although essential, the registry keeps encountering errors and is known to be a major source of vmnetbridge.dll errors on your PC, not to mention many other severe errors as well, which will slow down your PC and eventually render it unusable. You need to fix corrupted registry keys to keep your computer at its optimum level. While it is possible to manually correct the registry keys, this is not advisable unless you are experienced with this type of work, as it can be dangerous for your system if you make a mistake. It is recommended that you use a program called “Frontline Registry Cleaner” to fix the virus on your PC.
