VPC 2004 SP1 - Hangs or Get "An error has occurred"
in [Virtual PC]
|
From: ohaya on 24 Jul 2006 02:35 Bob, I tried adding that to the boot.ini for my 'real' PC, and it hung again. Also, something I didn't mention: I've been monitoring performance with Task Manager on the 'real' PC. I can pretty much tell when this hangs occurs: The CPU utilization graph drops almost immediately to ~2%. Task Manager shows all the guest hosts and the VPC console as "not responding".

You are correct, sorry, I had forgotten about the W2K.

Interesting. I haven't ever seen something like that and don't have a clue why it would do that. -- Bob Comer <Microsoft MVP Windows - Virtual Machine> "ohaya" <ohaya(a)cox.net> wrote in message news:eyiEjrurGHA.4888(a)TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... > Bob, > > I tried adding that to the boot.ini for my 'real' PC, and it hung again. > > Also, something I didn't mention: I've been monitoring performance with > Task Manager on the 'real' PC.

From: ohaya on 24 Jul 2006 08:15 Hi, I was going through the posts on this thread, and noted that I had not mentioned that this machine has an AMD64-3000 CPU. Is it possible that that might be causing the problem? Jim Robert Comer wrote: > > > Also, something I didn't mention: I've been monitoring performance with > > Task Manager on the 'real' PC.

I doubt it. It sounds like either a driver issue, or some other piece of software you have on your PC is interfering with VPC somehow. (any shell enhancement software running?) -- Bob Comer <Microsoft MVP Windows - Virtual Machine> "ohaya" <ohaya(a)cox.net> wrote in message news:44C4B9FF.69B99355(a)cox.net... > Hi, > > I was going through the posts on this thread, and noted that I had not > mentioned that this machine has an AMD64-3000 CPU.
