I've tried about a dozen times now to install Windows XP with SP2 and give up because Fusion keeps crashing in the retail version of Leopard. There hasn't been any consistency between the crashes. It has crashed during the physical installation of XP, it has crashed during disk formatting and it has crashed when I was changing the amount of RAM that XP uses in Fusion. I get no crash dialog or anything to inform me of what has happened.
This is a clean install of Leopard on a 24" iMac with permissions repaired.
No problem here on a Macbook Pro 2.4, and I have it running all day doing all the usual tasks, Lotus Notes, Office, Remote Desktop and VNC for my work domain,
Is it the GUI crashing (if you reconnect, the VM will come back up instantly), or the actual vmware-vmx process? The corresponding files would be useful:
Did you upgrade to Leopard or clean install? Also make sure Leo finishes all the first time tasks, like Spotlight indexing and Time Machine backing-up (if you activated it).
I have a friend who upgraded to Leo and has a million problems due to APE modules or Input Managers left behind in the system.
