Every time I create a VM using the Snow Leopard.iso image file I get an error stating "A virtual CPU has entered the shutdown state". Cancel and OK are my only options. If I click OK, it keeps restarting saying same error message. If I click Cancel it stops and suspends the VM. I've read on other forums about editing the .vmx file to allow certain settings like: guestOS = "darwin-64" ich7m.present = "TRUE" smc.present = "FALSE" keyboard.vusb.enable = "TRUE" mouse.vusb.enable = "TRUE" monitor.virtual_exec = "hardware" monitor.virtual_mmu = "software" But I still get the same error message over and over! I've also tried other SL.iso images but still nothing! Someone please help. I'm getting frustrated. Any and all comments are appreciated. :) I’m trying to install OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.3 on my VMWare Fusion 3.1.3 Mac running OS X Lion (10.7.1).
