All, I am also having a problem running Sage 3.4 on windows XP. Vmware starts up, but when I run the notebook command it flashes the IP address and then returns to the main vmware text menu. I thought it was a problem with my upgrade from Sage 3.2.3. So I uninstalled vmware and redown loaded Sage 3.4 I got the same problem after a reinstalled vmware and Sage 3.4. I am currently downloading Sage 3.2.3 gain to try and get that running again. I was able to run WINSCP to move my old sage files from the IP address. I just can't log on to sage from windows explorer. Thanks Mike
