[QUOTE="markking, post: 674860, member: 51319"] 1. This is a common issue with VMWare. OS X and Windows "fight" for the USB devices. 2. I always suspend until Windows starts running slow, then I do a shutdown and restart just as if I were on Windows not running in VMWare. And I usually turn off VMWare when I don't need Windows. It usually slows my Mac down with just 1GB of ram. Also, in the future you can add another Windows partition in VMWare if the 20GB gets full. But I don't think you can extend the 20GB to say 30GB, I think you have to do it by adding a new 10GB (or whatever) partition in VMWare. [/QUOTE]
