Update: I reinstalled Workstation 9.0 on the host Vista machine. It appears to be stable and opens to the home screen. It is stable when I choose Edit->preferences. HOWEVER, (here's the strange one).. If I choose "Shared VMs" on the left side of the Preferences dialog, then the host system immediately resets, reboots. All other Preference options can be viewed edited/saved without any issue. I can duplicate this symptom at will. I have tested the host system exercising the Workstation home screen (choosing different menu options , etc ) for over an hour without a crash. Trying to install 9.0.1 update will cause the same type of reset immediately after displaying the splash screen for the installation of the update.
