6 months later,it suddenly wants a name and password. HUH?
I've been happily using legacy applications in my ASUS laptop/Win7 Ultimate 64-bit system's XP Virtual PC for some 5 months, and I've run into a TOTALFAIL problem.
WHen unhibernating the virtual XP machine, it gets a few seconds into the process, and then shows me what appears to be the screensaver's "give me a name and password" before it will proceed. I did NOT set up a screen saver inside the virtual machine. It appears to have something to do with loading the integration features as it is unhibernating.
After 2 1/2 hours talking to a MS tech support guy, his only solution is to uninstall (wiping out everything I've built up in the way of data and configurations) and reinstall.
Is there no way to find out what the virtual pc thinks is my username and password for unhibernating? it's NOT my username/login for the 64bit OS itself, and I have tried lots of permutations with no luck.
How can I avoid losing everything? I do backups routinely - and I have a backup of the OS drive from (Ithink) before this rude behavior started, but I'm not sure what specific file I need to restore to make it behave.
