Hi all,

I just installed SP1 from technet recently, and decided to try my hand at
virtualization for the first time today. Once Virtual PC 2007 is installed,
my system BSoDs during every boot. The only way to gain access to windows is
safe mode, or using the last known good state.

After using last known good state, VPC 2007 is installed, but won't work (as
the drivers/services have been removed during install). I've uninstalled the
remainder of VPC 2007 and rebooted; no problems. Tried again to installed
VPC, and after reboot it once again BSoDs endlessly.

So it stems the error is recreatable (at least on my machine). Any thoughts
on what's going on or how to fix it?

Cheers,

Ryan
 
I had the same problem after using VPC 2007. (Not running SP1 though & Vista
64bits)

After examining the memory dump & using Google I found out the problem was
caused by a (integrated) network driver.

After downloading & installing a new driver the BSoDs were gone!!! :) A
shame though that this (signed) driver is not downloaded automaticly when
selecting the driver update function.
 
Thanks Ciro,

I updated my BIOS - a challenging task with no floppy drive and a CDROM that
DOS doesn't recognize - and VPC is now working fine.

Thanks again!

Hi Rehoult, My Laptop does that too! No idea why!
It looks like the install of windows XP on the laptop crashes everything!
