The Unity Mode BSODs have occurred both before AND after activation. This behaviour stopped as soon as I successfully activated it. The Vista guest definitely seemed to be on the brink of refusing to work - today it kept changing my desktop wallpaper to a plain black background and saying this was my last day to activate. This roughly correlates with Vista demanding activation (which I have now finally got round to doing!) - this may or may not be pure coincidence. (4) It's only in the last ~24 hours that I've been getting the BSODs when entering Unity Mode. I've always felt the dodgy mouse pointer was a mild cause for concern! Nothing like this occurs until I start running my VM. So for example, I can move the corrupted pointer to a window edge on the host, causing the pointer to change to a double-arrow like usual, but the corruption is still there below the pointer.) (By the way, the corruption survives pointer changes on the host. After a varying number of repetitions (outside VMware window / inside / outside.) the corruption vanishes for the time being. This corruption typically vanishes when I move the pointer back inside the VM window area, but often reappears (sometimes changing to a different pattern of corruption) when I move it outside again, and so on. (3) Prior to today, the only issue I have noticed with the VM is sometimes there is mouse pointer corruption after doing 'stuff' in the VM window (perhaps after performing actions that cause the guest's mouse pointer to change?) then moving the pointer outside the VM window: now, instead of just a regular white arrow, there's a varying pattern of pixels in two horizontal lines, a good few pixels below the bottom of the arrow.

(I've subsequently updated the host's graphics driver, and the problem has not reoccurred, which of course may or may not be pure coincidence.) But Unity Mode definitely worked, and has worked for a good length of time between my last host driver update and today, when the first BSOD occurred. At the time, I guessed it was an issue with the host's graphics driver. I think the Desktop Window Manager crashed and possibly Aero stopped working on the host OS. (2) I vaguely recall that one of the times I entered Unity Mode, many weeks ago, my host system made a bit of a drama. However I've mostly just been running my VM in a normal window (whatever you call 'non unity mode'!)

(1) I've been using the VM frequently for several weeks now without any major issues, and I've tried Unity Mode a few times before with success. The blue screens occur even with no applications running on the guest. The guest system has just a handful of small applications installed.

The host system is Windows 7 Professional (64-bit ) SP1 with 12 GB of RAM. I'm running Vista Business (32-bit) inside WMware Player v7.1.0 build-2496824 with 2 GB of RAM. (The host system continues running normally.) My Windows Vista guest VM has started blue-screening every time I enter Unity Mode.
