broken VM's after Windows update?

[HAVOC]

It seems that my VM's won't work anymore. Using Windows virtual pc and virtual box. Anyone else having the same problem?

Hi,
Not sure if it's related to this update or not ?

There might be a fix, in the meantime, have you backups of your VM files?
For example, my Windows XP Mode files are in: C:\Users\[acct]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Virtual PC\Virtual Machines
I periodically backup those files onto my data partition's D:\WindowsXPMode folder.
If you have a similar backup, then perhaps the fix won't drastically alter your best VM.

I did but with both VM's not working, I deleted them. I'm going try and create my Windows 3.1 VM again using Virtual Box.

I use VMware and had to reinstall the VMware program once or twice but an update has never broken a VM. I am just curious what is so different about Windows virtual pc that it would brick the guest OS.
