Syntax Error when running my VMware Fusion

Im not sure why I am getting the following error:

File "/Users/johjane/Documents/Virtual Machines.localized/Windows XP Professional.vmwarevm/Windows XP Professional.vmx" line 63: Syntax error.

This happens when I try to run my Windows XP Professional through VM Ware Fusion. I am using a MacBook Pro Intel Core Duo proc. I installed the new version VMWare Fusion 1.1.1-72241, and the error still occurs after update installation.

Also, i tried restarting my computer and problem still persists.

I'd appreciate any help. Thanks.

Hi Woody,

My 82 yer old mom is running OSX 10.8.4, Fusion 5.0.5 and Windows WP.  She is getting the following error message:

File "/Users/joaneichen/Documents/Virtual Machines.localized/Windows XP Professional.vmwarevm/Windows XP Professional.vmx" line 1: Syntax error.

Can you help?

Thanks so much,

Paul

Hi,

Haven't seen Woody reply in quite a while, hope he is fine.

Here's a new version of your vmx based on your vmware.log file.
