Having a little problem with VMWare Fusion.

After using Windows XP for a while the screen get's corrupted as shown in attachment.

If I exit full screen it's fine, then going back to full screen causes corruption again. I can reboot the VMware XP and go back full screen and the corruption occurs again.

If I shutdown the entire iMac and start again it works for a while, couple be a couple of days even a week before the corruption starts again.

Has anyone else seen this? Could it be hardware?

Thanks

Can't remember if it's in Fusion, but have you tried installing VMware Tools? That includes the VMware SVGA driver.
