A great ship, still actively used for research purposes. We’re really looking forward to what we are going to see and do!

VMware fusion on MacBook Air with OS X Lion seems to hang when getting back from sleep – Super User
Posted by jpluimers on 2011/11/14
If you have reactions on the question below, please add them to the SuperUser.com thread when possible.
Every once in a while, my MacBook Air becomes unresponsive when it is sleeping and I open the lid.
It seems to only happen in these circumstances:
- the MacBook air got into sleep modus because of closing the lid
- VMware Fusion 4 (4.0.2 build 491587) is running full screen
- The guest OS has a blank screen screen saver
When opening the lid, the backlight goes on, but the MacBook Air does not react on any key-combinations I tried.
I tried these, but to no avail:
- press the Touchpad
- press Control + Command
- press Control + Command + Enter
- press Command + Tab
The only thing that works is to press the Power button for 5+ seconds (forcing a hard power off) then reboot.
Two questions:
- For anyone having seen similar bahviour: what circumstances did you have?
- Any solution to this apart from first suspending the guest VM?

Not so convenient: after XP there is no more WebCam viewer in Windows (via: How can I take a picture with my webcam in Windows 7? – Super User)

Microsoft removed the WebCam viewer from Windows on all versions released after XP.
Very inconvenient, as it was very light weight, and most webcam software isn’t.
William describes in his answer to How can I take a picture with my webcam in Windows 7?, there is a small AMcap sample in the Microsoft DirectX SDK that works very well.
He also points to 2 download locations where you can get the compiled version (the SDK only has the source code).
