Does the machine power up anyway after doing this or does it just die?  

(I thought you'd said it just died, but then I noted that you called the

In my case, it gives that error (the longer one) when I start vmware,I
just click Ok and then it goes along merrily--also giving me a mouse
error on the way.

Buffy: Xander!
