Dennis, I'm not really a MCSE type, but I did install Windows SP3 under VMware just a couple days ago, then upgraded to SP4 and installed the VMware tools then. Everything seems to be OK for me. I really don't have an answer for VMware freezing your whole machine, unless it is doing a keyboard and mouse grab right before it freezes, making it seem like the machine is crashed. This sounds like a Windows problem really. Any closet Softies in the group that can help? Mark
