I have seen this too ... Let me first ask ... do you use the "suspend/resume" option?? If Yes then :) This caused the same "lockup" every few seconds on my machine too - a much slower 400 PII. As soon as I "shutdown" Win9X and rebooted it worked fine. I guess it is something in VMware that syncs to a resume/suspend state file. You can see this in that the second and there after times you press the suspend button it doesn't say "Saving state" or what ever, it just suspends immediately. So bottom line - I've stopped using the suspend/resume and since then so "hick-ups" every few seconds ...
