Well, unfortunately, the problem has not actually gone away -- just more hidden, I guess. The Dock icon is gone, but the vmx process is still "not responding" as shown in activity monitor, an anonymous looking "kernel task" shoots up to 140MB RAM (normal?) and 40%+ CPU use even while the VM is idling and my system keeps hanging (kernel level -- dead mouse, etc.) for 10 to 15 seconds at a time intermitently all the time VMWare is running the VM client.

All this has only started since v1.1 and OS X 10.5.x. Infact, I seemed to have no trouble with VMWare F' v1.0 on OS X 10.5. Might go back to that.

I'm not sure who I'm replying to, in the sense that I'm not sure if you're a VMWare progrmmer or "just" a community member helping out... is there some kind of system log/configuration report I should be submitting to some place? In any case, your help is much appreciated, of course.

I'm happy to "sit tight" for a couple weeks and see if updates pop up in the meantime of course. http://In my case, I only rely on a single XP VM to run my Windows accounting software for my business -- nothing else really. So I can live with the present situation well enough.

I was just about to make another post saying my most recent Fusion session of about 20 minutes didn't have ANY problem at all. The vmware-vmx process did not show "Not responding" and everything ran sweet.

This only adds confusion since I've not rebooted and the only "running process" changes I've made since the last Fusion session this morning were to install an Acrobat Reader update, which happened to insist Safari got shut down and it hasn't been restarted since. Hmmm... loads Safari, tries again... nah. It's still fine. Well that was a long shot.

I'll keep trying to determine a pattern to this, however subtle.
