VMWare starts but freezes on Vista

Hi everybody!!!

I'm using VMWare for about 7 years and never had same problem.

I've downloaded the latsed Vista-ready VMVwre worksation today and installed it on my Vista Ultimate edition.

After that I've tried to start VMWorksation - and nothing had appeared

In tastmng I see it's process having 80-99% CPU time and manipulating RAM but nothing happens.

I've wait just for fun 3 hours..... no results - whats wrong???

Sorry - forgot smth

WMPlayer works fine.

But I need Shared Folders and I can't manage them by player

Can't you create a windows share on the host and give the VM guest access to you it ?

Of course.

But I still need Workstation working

You'll get better responses then in the Workstation 6 beta forum. http://www.vmware.com/community/forum.jspa?forumID=372
