OK, there is vmware for windows, and also vmware fusion for Mac OS X – I am using vmware fusion and have come across a really anoying issue. I cant find a fix on the net anywhere what so ever, and I am reluctant to delete my virtual machine. The virtual machine is Windows XP – I shutdown my MAC after putting the virtual machine into suspend mode and now it just tried loading the machine and freezes up and then I have to force quit vmware fusion.
anyone got any solutions! I wont give up until i find out why.

You tried removing the Image Backup file it tends to make.
Or checked the Vmware Config file to see if that is corrupted.
or booted into Safe Mode
or run Last Known Good Config
or checked Event Viewer to see why it’s not booting.
Lots of things to check!
