Still trying to track down what is causing VPC to crash...
Still crashing ( a lot ) this morning. The last crash was a bit
different, VPC was loaded but minimised to the dock and Paused. At some
stage later, I then hit F12 to load my Dashboard widgets for the first
time and the Mac totally crashed!
Hmmm,
The Mac never crashes, unless VPC is loaded, but this time, although
loaded, it was actually running.
Now I'm suspicious of some dashboard widget, maybe something that runs
periodically even though 'hidden' and is killing the Mac when VPC is
loaded.
I've now removed the 'SysStat' widget and disabled 'Default Folder X'
to see how things go.
