Problem with 1.1RC1 - Unable to reserve memory - Endless loop

Hi,

I have a problem since installing 1.1rc1 when I try to start up a machine it says "Unable to reserve memory. If selecting Retry does not work, try closing programs on the host machine to free memory before clicking Retry. For more information about this error see our Web site at "http://www.vmware.com/info?id=19".

Tghen you can either click Retry or Abort but in either case it tries again so it starts an endless loop that it can only be broken by force quit, after which Fusion does not even start anymore and I need to restart. Basically everytime I want to start a VM I need to restart which SUCKS!!

I have 8 GB of RAM of which usually at least 3-4 GB are inactive and could therefore be used by Fusion.

How do I fix this problem

When did the problem start to occur (i.e. what was the last version of Fusion you ran before 1.1rc1)?
