Interesting. I'll lok out for that when I get that far!

I wasn't asked for any authorizations by VMWare during the
installation which actually asks me very little indeed - just about
where I want the installation and what menu start/desktop menu options
I want.
I was asked by ZoneAlarm which is my firewall as you indicate. This
detected two new networks, both of which I said I trusted.
I get no firewall notifications when I actually try to start the
VMWare player and even tried to start it with the firewall switched
off but it still forced my PC to reboot.
I did get a tray icon indicating VMNet was trying to acquire a network
address for about 10 minutes after I'd done the requested post-
installation restart. Then the icon went away.
I've used the same installation file on an alternative WinXP PC and
that doesn't crash windows (and didn't generate the network
acquisition icon). This PC does not run ZoneAlarm so maybe there's a
challenge with ZA.
I've posted my problems on the VMWare forum for the Player and may
learn more through them too. But meanwhile I wondered if a change of
Player version might help.
Given your comment above I may try v 2.5.1.
Thanks
