you need to restart your computer!!!

[roblyh]

my new mac encounters this problem frequently. more frequently with vmware fusion. when my windows vista is up; my whole screen went dim and a box comes up with this message:

you need to restart your computer. hold down the power button for several seconds or press the restart button.

Its called a Kernal Panic...have you installed any new hardware? If not, try repairing disk permissions, and resetting the PRAM

there is no new hardware installed except with my current external hdd

Does it happen when the external HD is not connected?

I don't know. when the windows is up and running in the beginning and then the problem happens.

You brought up a question of mine too - how to make the external HD connect in both leopard and windows through vmware fusion?
