Thanks to all who responded. Apologies for the delay in replying; I wanted to be sure the problem was solved, which seems to be the case. Wayne's suggestion seems to be the one that works. FrameMaker wasn't the only thing affected; it was just the first application I tried; its history of screen redraw issues erroneously made it the first usual suspect. Later, I noticed that the same redraw issues existed in Windows XP under Fusion 2 with my memory settings. I think the principle is something like: The memory setting for VMware Fusion controls the guest operating system's environment - XP, in this case, and the host platform - Mac, in this case - manages the memory needs of the application(s) running in the VMware Fusion environment, as if it were just another Mac application. So, this may help me delay giving in to the hardware lust lurking in me; I won't buy that 6GB RAM upgrade from Other World Computing right away<G>! But, there's this attractive 7200 RPM replacement notebook drive that's... On my MacBook Pro laptop, although it's got 512 MB of VRAM, I thought the problem might also involve the refreshing of its 17" screen with its many pixels, so I also lowered the Windows display setting to 16-bit color from the default 32-bit. I haven't seen any graphics look bad enough for me to try setting it back to 32-bit, yet.
