NCover 3 Beta - Hangs Vista VM

I downloaded the beta for v3 today to evaluate NCover, including the upcoming changes. Unfortunately, when I tried to run it on a VMWare VM, with guest OS - Vista Ultimate, it grabbed 100% CPU and then left the OS unusable, requiring a re-boot. I tried it three times with progressively fewer services running just to see if it made any difference but even with a minimal machine running it still hangs the OS.

I uninstalled it and installed v2.1 which seems to work perfectly (indeed it's quite impressive). It looks like what I'm looking for but I would really like to test out the upcoming features.

Thanks.

Was the 100% cpu in the Guest or in the Host?

Did you reboot the Guest or the Host?

It's the guest OS that screws up and needs to be rebooted.

I tried it a couple more times this weekend and it seemed the problems were with the Desktop Window Manager but I didn't go into in any detail. Perhaps you have some new UI component that isn't working well with the VMWare video adapter capabilities?

The only thing we have is the XCeed 2.0 wpf data grid. Everything thing else is WPF.

The Actipro Syntax Editor is the same product that we use in 2.0.
