Gary,
Glad to hear from you again but it wasn't me but MR ZenWiz who had the 
problem with Vbox and who didn't succeed in running VMware. I use it 
rather extensively and have no problems.
I have given up on Vbox as they update every few months and sound is 
still very bad (truthfully, I haven't checked the last 5 months).
Related to that however, I try without success to contribute to the 
vmware mailing list but until now I only get once a month a subscription 
notice. I mail to:
   vmware-users at seas.harvard.edu but I never got any mails.
Do you have a better mailing list?
