Yesterday I started my VMWare Fusion software to load Windows XP and everything came up like normal. My Kaspersky Anti-Virus needed updating, as did Windows. After downloading and installing the necessary updates, Windows needed to restart. After restarting Windows, everything seemed absolutely fine and so I left Windows running while I did some other things on the Mac side of my computer. A short time later, the VMWare Fusion icon at the bottom of my screen began jumping up and down. When I clicked on it, I had the following message, "VMWare Fusion has paused this virtual machine because the disk on which the virtual machine is stored is almost full. To continue, free up at least 962 MB of disk space." There is absolutely no way that my disk space is almost full!! Out of 500 GB, I still have more than 209 GB available. Even though I know my hard drive is not almost full, I did try freeing up at least the amount that the VMWare Fusion message said, but it made no difference. I did find an article on VMWare.com relating to this problem, but I must admit that I'm not sure what the article is telling me to do and I just didn't feel comfortable trying to do something I had no experience doing. I would greatly appreciate anyone that would be willing to help me solve this problem.
Here is some technical information about my computer.

Please let me know if I need to provide any other information. Thank you!!
