Hi All,
Up until a few hours ago I was using Yosemite, I have VMWare 8.0 Pro, I upgraded to el Capitan and now none of my 3 guest machines with start (Windows XP, Windows 7 and Ubuntu)
Whichever one I try and start it pauses for a few seconds then comes up with 'Internal Error'
I downloaded 8.01 which was released today and installed expecting this to fix the issue, no change, still cannot run any VM
Help Please
Andy
The crash is happening inside the 3D graphics driver. If you don't require accelerated 3D graphics, you might be able to work around the problem by disabling acceleration in Virtual Machine > Settings... > Display, and uncheck Accelerate 3D graphics.
Are you using an after-market graphics card in your Mac Pro? If so, it might be worth trying with the original graphics card, or, if you have installed drivers directly from Nvidia's site, it might be worth updating them – Apparently they released a new version just today which resolves all sorts of compatibility issues with Fusion 8; There is a chance it might resolve this problem too, I guess...
Cheers,

Probably just need to reboot, sounds like the kexts unloaded and didn't reload.

Weird.
Can you try this?
1) Uninstall VMware Fusion by moving it to the trash
2) Restart your El Capitan host
3) Re-install VMware Fusion by double-clicking the .dmg, then double-clicking the VMware Fusion.app inside the .dmg (this will prompt you to enter your admin credentials).
If the above does not work, please file a bug and attach the bundle created by the "Help > Collect Support Information" menu entry.

All sorted, thank you dariusd
I downloaded and installed the latest Nvidia driver here http://us.download.nvidia.com/Mac/Quadro_Certified/346.03.02f01/WebDriver-346.03.02f01.pkg
And the latest CUDA driver here NVIDIA DRIVERS 7.5.20
All working perfectly again now
Thanks everyone for your help
