Hey Cheryl - just a few initial thoughts, maybe some of them will help.
You'll know the system has finished installing once there is no more
activity from the cd rom and very little activity from the hard drive. Took
about 25 mins here, but I don't recall the spec of your machine, so it may
take longer.
As far as I remember Vmware tools was installed automatically, but i think
it required a restart before the drivers and whatnot kick in.
When you're in the virtual machine window, hit command-g to grab keyboard
input. Then if you hit the command key it'll bring up your start menu, hit
u and it'll take you to the shutdown dialog, and hit r to restart. When you
want to take keyboard input back to mac os, hit command and control
together.
If you still get no startup sound next time you reboot, I'm stumpt. The
update vmware tools menu item suggests that they're installed already.
Let us know how you get on, and if this doesn't work we'll get the thinking
caps out.
Scott

oh, it's installed since you see things in the window, but having never
installed windows thru fusion, I don't know.

Yeah, it's a never-used copy of xp spac2. How do you define "a long time?"
Is there a way I can tell whether the system has actually installed or
not?
