line 62: Syntax error with Fusion 1.1 running Windows XP

[Nudist]

Running Fusion on a Macbook Pro. Have been using OK for past several months. Problem occurred yesterday. I had Fusion configured for 'Suspend the VM'. Had Fusion and a few other apps open at time when another app froze. I attempted to quit Fusion which started shut down but also froze. When I next when to launch Fusion I double clicked on the VM called "Windows XP Professional.vmwarevm"

This is the message File "/Users/chrisnewman/Desktop/Windows XP Professional.vmwarevm/Windows XP Professional 2.vmx" line 62: Syntax error". Not sure what do. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Please attach a copy of the "/Users/chrisnewman/Desktop/Windows XP Professional.vmwarevm/Windows XP Professional 2.vmx" file.

By default Virtual Machines are created in the "~/Documents/Virtual Machines" folder.

~ Is your Home Folder

They are placed in a Folder (Bundle Package) with an extension of ".vmwarevm" which by default the extension is not visible in Finder.

Example: "~/Documents/Virtual Machines/Windows XP SP2.vmwarevm" would in Finder just look like an icon named "Windows XP SP2"

You can view the Package Contents of the "Windows XP SP2.vmwarevm" folder by right-click (or Ctrl+Click) the "Windows XP SP2" icon and select Show Package Contents.

As you request.

Ctrl-click (right-click) the Windows XP Professional 2.vmx file and select Open With > Other... then select TextEdit under Applications.

Scroll to the end of the file and remove the line, "checkpoint.vmState = "Wi" then save the file and close it and try starting the VM.

Already done. Thanks again. Id seen many mentions for the VMX file but didn't think to check the package contents. It works fine
