It emulates its own video card, yes. It's an S3 Trio. That shouldn't
be effecting your start up times...

When it is hibernated the start up is about a minute.
I tried raising ram to 3GB. No noticeable reduction in load time.
If it had, it would almost be necessary to fully shut down to
release all this ram for w7 use, even I have 8gig. The total ram
usage were over 4G. But I'm closer now to an understanding.
It seems to be the socalled IC that mainly is responsible for
this slow start. Having the IC off the loading is about the half.
Fortunately I do expect using this IC not very often, as I require
32bit color and be able to set the font-size.

I'll proceed getting some more experience with it. Am thinking
just now it'll be unwise moving applications over and scrapping
the old XP. I still wonder, if the others are faster in loading
VirtualBox, VMware.

My 512 Mb VPC takes 90 seconds to fully load and be ready for use.

On a new Windows 7 64bit machine, with E9650, having 8GB ram installed.
XP-mode takes 3 minutes to load. Is this normal ?.
Or what could otherwise be the reason for this long loading time.
I have trouble with pinging a modem. I'll have to shot down the
modem and seek new IP. Compleatly switching off the lan connection
setting doesn't reduce the time taken for the next XP-loading.
Does other virtual machines load faster, VirtualBox or VMware ?.
Thanks for an answer.

What kind of VPC. Windows VPC (XP-mode), VPC 2007,
VirtualBox, VMware or any others I don't know of.
And the loading time you post, is it with or without IC on ?.
What is your host operating system and 32 -or 64bit ?.
Now I'm interesting in knowing what load time others have
when loading XP-mode with IC on, and on a 64bit host.
The 90 seconds is what I get when the integration is off.
With the integration on it is more than 3 minutes.

Senn,

It's a Windows VPC, running on a 64-bit Windows 7 Ultimate OS. All Integration Features are on, and it has to mount 5 DFS shares while starting up.
