I got same experience about this 1 month ago, after 10.3 installation. After trying some tips and tricks, there is 2 option to solved this problem: 1. chmod 777 to the VMware images (folder and it's content) 2. Change the author or make the group author to get full access to the VMware images Try to logout and re-login to make sure the VMWare setting has been changed and get the latest update. I don't now why but the trick worked for me :-). -- Best Regards, Masim "Vavai" Sugianto /************************************************************/ Blog (ID) : http://www.vavai.com/blog/index.php Blog (EN) : http://www.vavai.net Community : http://www.opensuse.or.id Email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] /************************************************************/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
