VMPlayer 5: Suse 12.2 64bit host & 32bit Windows XP guest crashes

Hi,

I installed VMPlayer 5 on Suse linux 64bit as host, and planned to run Win XP as guest. It all goes well as long as Win XP is installing on a text screen, but as soon as it launches the graphical interface ("setup is starting windows") the X-server under linux crashes, and the system reboots.

Hardware: Thinkpad T530, with a NVIDIA NVS 5400M graphics card.

Any hint what to try next would be great [I've been running Win XP as a guest on many generations of Suse 32bit using VMPlayer 3.1.4 - so it's really the first time for me that VMPlayer is letting me down].

Thanks!
