Re: OS X crash - Spotlight?

Thanks Paul. I will give it a go. I hadn't looked at the Spotlight privacy settings (System Preferences/Spotlight/Privacy) until now. I will add a few other folders that never need indexing as well - including the external hard drive I use for backup purposes and video editing.

Try adding the Virtual PC List folder in the 'privacy' section of
Spotlight. That prevents spotlight from trying to index Windows. It may
not prevent ALL kernel crashes, but it certainly help me.

BTW, MS and Apple are working on it and the fix will come in an Apple
update....not in a Virtual PC update.
