[Macpartners] VM Fusion frequently suspending

[Steve Landry]

Hi Carolyn,

When you install windows as a VM (or any operating system), it's best to turn off screensaver and power-management functions in your control panels.

Subject: [Macpartners] VM Fusion frequently suspending

Hi all,

I'm running VM Fusion Version 4.1.1 on an iMac running Mac OS X 10.7.2. VM Fusion seems to suspend frequently when I switch from it to another Mac OS application for more than a couple of minutes.

Is there any way to suppress the suspensions or delay them? Every time the VM is suspended, the Windows network connection is disconnected which forces me to quit all my Windows applications and restart Windows.
