I had been running 5.5 on RHELv4 with XP as a guest without problems. Now I am running the Beta of Workstaion 6 without problems. In your preferences what do you have set for memory management? Do you have shared folders enabled and tried disabling them? Do you have many snapshots? Do you have only one guest XP? If so, can you possibly build a new one from scratch as a test? Also, have you asked the same question on the Workstation forums of VMware? They are normally very helpful. Ed
