I've not had that problem with VMWare Server at either version 1.5 or 2; it runs round the clock here with no users logged into the host system. My two VirtualBox installations run only on a test basis, so have not seen this situation but it would be a killer for me. Both VMWare and Sun's Virtualbox are free downloads with no major use restrictions so the choice should be made on the basis of features and performance. The open source version of Virtualbox does have one serious limitation: it doesn't support USB peripherals. However Sun's non-open version does, and that's the one I've installed here. With all these programs it's necessary to install their accessory packages into the VM itself in order to get full functionality. -- Jim Kyle Using The Bat! v4.0.34 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 3 on VMWare Server 2 under Xubuntu 8.04.3 with AntiSpamSniper Version 3.0.1.2 ________________________________________________ Current version is 4.2.9.1 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
