Glenn,

This phenomenon has been seen when running older versions of the Mac 
VM on systems that have the Norton Antivirus extension installed.

I believe that recent Mac VM's claim not to have this problem 
(starting, IIRC, with 3.0.11) though I've never actually heard 
positive confirmation of this.

For a start, try disabling the NAV extension (if you're using it) and 
see if the problem goes away.  Then try installing a newer version of 
the VM, re-enable NAV, and see if all is well.

Please let us know what you find out!

Cheers,

   -- Scott
