Hi,

has anyone faced (and solve) a recurrent "abort trap" problem ?
the error is
************
vmmon: Vmx86_DestroyVM: unlocked pages: 978908, unlocked dirty pages: 672295
************

I checked the ACPI problem, but I have to right hal.dll...
VMware keeps dying (or making windows reboot rebooting) really really often...

any idea ?

thanks for answers,
	Jo
