Hello.
I don't know if it is my setups/machines or what. I notice if I idle in Windows guests (English and localized; 32-bit Vista to 64-bit 8; only one guest running at a time; using the latest VMware tools) newer than XP and using 512 MB of RAM, I get pauses/freezes that last about a minute or more. My host's Windows stop responding. Host's audio still seems to keep going though. This is with VMware Workstation v9.0.x on my month old Lenovo ThinkCentre M81 (1730-A45) office computer (Intel Core i5-2400 Processor, 8GB, 320GB 7200RPM S-ATA HDD, no diskette drive, PCI/PCIe Tower (4x5), ATI Radeon HD 5450 512MB, DVD Recordable, Gigabit Ethernet, updated 64-bit Windows 7 Enterprise Edition, Norton 360 v6.4.0.9, etc.). I checked Windows guests' power management and screen saver, but they were disabled.
Thank you in advance.
