Using VMWare WINXP on both host and guest.   All WINXP updates applied.
After using the guest OS for some time I get a windows popup in the system tray
indicating 'Windows - Delayed Write Failed....' the event viewer shows two events.
(i) Event ID 50 then (ii) Event ID 26.
Two examples are below.  Please note.
- The following are the most recent two 
- There are several hundred of these in my system event log.
- I simultaneously get these for FFox and TBird (FF is the most recent, hence is
below)
- It is not always the same files.
- I can replicate the same behaviour if I suspend the guest, alternatively the
guest has to be running for some time. Hence the "every time" classification.

*** most importantly ***
- TBird (and Ffox) are the only applications that complain.
- I can and have just saved data to the area that the event msg indicates is a
problem.
- This problem has been present for a very long time, under VmWare workstation
4.5, and 5.0 as well as under several version of Tbird (and Ffox)
- I've never got a msg indicating any other application is affected.
- Occasionally my mailboxes are corrupt and I have to delete some .msf files.
- I haven't noticed any data loss, but I have many mailboxes and haven't checked
them all.... I suspect it's just a matter of time? (the Ffox cache I'm not too
worried about hence the Tbird bug post rather than Ffox)
- I've followed some instruction on the MS site about changing lanman server and
worstation parameters "enablesecuritysignature"=0 and requiresecuritysignature=0
still the problem persists.

Could an admin remove the IP address from the second event ID's text that I
posted - apologies for the oversight

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce

copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
