Right here is where you made a mistake. :--) NEVER close it until you SUSPEND your guest O/S. Then, it pops right open, and all you have to do is RESUME and Windon't is ready to give you all the bsod that you can ask for. All of my O/S's are running, albeit SUSPENDED. It takes seconds to open VMWare AND the O/S within. > So, I made the jump to > cbb (check book balancer) and have been quite happy with it.
