Hi Woodyz
Re-read your post not sure why I did not pick up on this before.
I checked the logs and found the HOST DEFAULTS entry and it does point to: /Library/Preferences/VMware Fusion/config
So I created a text file called config in that folder and added the line : prefvmx.minVmMemPct = "25"
Does not seem to have had an effect but not sure its being read.
Do you know of a string I could add in there that could indicate if the config file is being read and applied.
I also looked in the preferences file and did find this entry
prefvmx.defaultVMPath = "/Volumes/OCZ/Virtual Machines.localized"
So it seemed appropriate to add the one you recommend after that line:
prefvmx.minVmMemPct = "25"
But still no improvement or I still get the same message of not being able to run a second VM, I don't know of another way to tell.
I also tried adding into the VM's vmx file but no noticeable difference
Without some further support I think we're probably being hopeful as to what is the right file and settings.
Looks like VM Workstation is more powerful or at least more configurable
