Have to manually ungrab mouse when restarting a suspended virtual machine.

Hi

I recently upgraded to Fusion v3 under Snow Leopard 10.6.2, i'm running Windows XP SP3.

I have found a difference in behaviour when choosing between suspending or powering down the virtual machine when I quit.

If I select suspend, the next time I start Fusion, I can't move the mouse outside of the window without pressing command and control. Re-installing vmware tools fixes the issue, but the problem return the next time I resume.

If however, I choose to power down, then I don't experience this problem and the mouse moves freely between the virtual desktop and my mac one.

It appears as if vmware tools isn't functioning correctly to me and i've tried uninstalling it, rebooting the virtual machine and installing it to no avail.

Anyone got any suggestions as to how to fix this? I know I can use the power down setting to get the correct behaviour, but it's many times slower than suspending.

Thanks

Phil
