Corrupted OS in VMWare Fusion on an iMac

Hi everyone,

 

I am not very skilled with Mac and the way it functions so I figured I would look for help here, I have a client that runs a particular piece of dental software, the software was built for PCs but the office had three iMacs that are about 4 yrs. old that needed to run it, so he installed VMware Fusion and put Windows XP and the software on the VM.  He then copied that VM and installed Fusion with the copied VM on two other machines.  The problem was first they had a virtual memory overload error because something was replicating files and filling up the memory.  Apparently that was taken care of but then two out of the three VMs failed with the error below:

I could only find one answer while Googling this error message about renaming the vmem file, but what I am worried about I is that if I do that and restart the machine the problem will start over again.  Anybody with suggestions?  I greatly appreciate any information.  I am not sure of the version of Fusion I believe they are running 5 or 6 from what the owner told me.  Would running Parallels be a better option, or running Bootcamp and completely separating the OSs be better?  Again any input would be so very much appreciated.

 

Thanks

Brandon
