What's Wrong?

When I try to use Claude Desktop I've gotten this error message at least 20 times between yesterday and today. I've reinstalled the workspace at least 15 times, reinstalled the app, restarted my computer several times. I literally cannot do any work in Cowork on my projects because the app is crashing and producing this error message. Any suggestions? I can't use Cowork at the claude.ai site, can I? And even if I did, the projects probably won't even connect with the Desktop app, which would be problematic for my book-writing projects. At the moment, Desktop is completely unusable. I'm on Mac if that helps, and I have the latest version of Claude Desktop.

What Should Happen?

Should run without constantly crashing due to VM timeout errors.
