I'd be surprised if vmWare itself is the source of your problem. I'm pretty sure we have people here who have used it with Watir successfully. True?

Howdy all – I have some Watir tests that invoke the file_field field object, and I've noticed some slightly odd behavior when running on native WinXP vs. virtual WinXP through VMware.
If a regular page has a file_field control, everything works peachy.
But, the application also has pages where you can click a button and it opens a dojo (a _javascript_ toolkit) modal faux popup with the file_field (the underlying page is disabled), and this is where I see the weird behavior.
When invoking field_field.set(), only the ruby attach dialog opens – the standard IE File Upload dialog *does not* open. It's not until the attach dialog closes that the IE File Upload finally appears, and at this point, the Watir script "hangs." (I suspect because there was no File dialog for ruby to attach to).
If I were to take a stab in the dark, I would say it might have something to do with how VMware manages threads – dojo, ruby and IE are all fighting over processes, and IE is the loser…
Anyone ever run into behavior like this before?
