Okay! Well, it seems that repartitioning the drive corrected this issue. The copy and paste issue still remains (have to reinstall VM tools every time this VM is started). But this was a more serious issue. I'll live with the other...  Thanks again for your help! kurtt

Hi! Okay! 1) Yes, 60 GB is optimistic, but I'm mostly using it for e-mail and a radio logbook application, so it seems to be happy... so far! 2) I think I see the problem! When I looked at the Windows disk management, it appears that the "expandable" part of the VMWare drive is unallocated space. I *think* that when I get to that part, it'll straighten itself out... I hope! Okay! Backing up the VM now. Thanks for the info! This may resolve an issue that I've been having with copy and paste between this VM and the host system (works elsewhere) as i have to reinstall the tools "fixing" the problem only for as long as the VM is running. We'll see! Thanks again! kurtt

Ah! Well, I resolved the issue by upgrading to Version 16. I figured that was better because it will be supported through all the Ubuntu changes. At any rate, it's good to know there's an alternate solution! Thanks! kurtt

Okay! I see I wasn't quite as clear as I had hoped! {'-) 1) Yes, the VMWare Workstation Player (part of Workstation Pro), Version 16.1.0 build-17198959. 2) It appears to "Spread": I will run several copies/versions of Windows (mostly 7 and 10) on a Ubuntu host with VMWare Workstation. When this happens, eventually, the issue will occur under all the guests. Thankfully, this doesn't usually last very long! (usually less than a day). 3) Using the same VMWare player software and running Windows OS guests (I think that was clear above, but just to be sure). 4) I have uninstalled and re-installed the whole bundle, the latest was yesterday. 5) Graphics: Well, it's a laptop, so the adapter is difficult! {'-) I'm not suspecting that the driver is the issue due to the intermittent nature of the problem. 6) Because I have had several RESUB (A Ubuntu kind of "reboot") type events because of locking up, I am planning to reload everything from scratch on Monday. I'm going to try and run some good virus software on both the host and guest systems, though I try to keep that sort of thing at bay... It'll work out... eventually! Thanks for the comments. k
