We need logs and error messages, otherwise it's not really possible to help you much > Does the host CPU make a difference? I thought it was all emulated?

The host CPU shouldn't make a difference as a VMWare .vmx is supposed to work the same on all hosts. However, the VMWare version in use on your friend's machine might be broken on AMD, or he has done something dumb. Again, without logs and other information (host cpu and specs, vmware version, etc) there's not much we can do to help you alan -- Optimists say the glass is half full, Pessimists say the glass is half empty, Developers say wtf is the glass twice as big as it needs to be?
