I have not tried the fix for this. I assume (perhaps falsely) that the VMware programmers had a valid reason for putting it there and wanted to hear someone tell me what it was for and if it was OK to remove. I suspect I can simply change the Registry entry to MSGINA.DLL for a test but don't really know it this will cause a serious problem with RC2. I don't want to do another install of RC2.

Any suggestions?

Thanks, John.

I would like to know where to find the Beta Release Notes. I have looked at the RC2 Release Notes and can find nothing about this problem. I also cannot find the old release notes. When I find a reference to the an old one, when I click on it the current (RC2) notes are displayed. I have tried to find the old notes for several reasons lately with no luck.

Thanks again, John

I seem to be running fine, both my VM and Web UI. Please see my previous post and the one prior to that.

I still have not found the Beta Release Notes to see what was recommended. Do you know where to find them?

Thanks, John.

Thanks much for your response. I understand that my OS is not supported. It has been pointed out to me in this forum and I have read the manual. I hope this does not mean you are telling me not to attempt to use it. It seems to work great and I really like its responsiveness. I have removed the key for the VMGINA.DLL and I seem to run fine. I do not shutdown my host without shutting down my VM. Before I removed the key, on two occasions when I booted my host, my desktop was black except for a thin slice along the edge on the left and right. I was able to get my desktop back by cycling the power on my LCD monitor. I cannot really show that this was a result of the key, but I had never seen it before nor since.

The reason I keep asking about the Beta Release Notes is that Gabrielpc said there was some information concerning my problem. I cannot find the Beta notes. Can you point to the old notes?

Thanks again, John.

Thanks for your reply. I guess I am blind or inept because I cannot find Beta Release Notes (not RC2). I am led to believe that the Beta notes contain information about my discussion subject. I have read RC2 notes (before I DLed it) but I was never able to get Beta 2 installed and don't remember comments in its notes about this subject. If you can direct me to the Beta (1 and/or 2) Release Notes (your link gave me RC2 notes), I would be most grateful.

Thanks, John.
