VMware vs. HackShield: Error 66307

OK, not a bump, but new data. Without making any changes to my .vmx, I reniced the vmplayer process to -15 and logged in. I played for 30-45 minutes (forgot to time it), including idling in town, idling in a map, idling in FM channel 1, training normally, and chatting. All seemed OK until I went back to Orbis to do the exchange quest, and suddenly every time I moved the mouse the screen froze for a split second. Keyboard input worked normally, but while the mouse was moving over the Maple part of the screen (it displays at 800×600 with black borders, bleah) the video was very jerky. I logged off that character and the jerkiness continued on the MapleStory login screen.

So... good news = no silly HackShield disconnections (yet) at nice -15. Bad news = potential for odd glitches like that.

Next I'm changing my menu item for this VM, to start it using -15 all the time. We'll see how that goes.
