Windows XP mode doesn't start right after installation
On one of my two system XP mode doesn't start.
On both systems I have installed Win7 Ultimate. First updated both systems from the Update site, then I installed Virtual PC and then Windows XP mode. On one system after the end of the XP installation everything works fine, the VM starts as expected and I can install XP apps.
On the other, after entering the XPMUser-pwd the system says it's now launching XP mode for the first time to configure it, but then the progress bar "starting XPMode for the first time" (or so...) gets slower and slower and after maybe 5 minutes I get an error message that configuration of XP mode failed.
Any ideas? What could cause Windows XP Mode to fail starting?
Just in case: I ran the havdetection tool on both systems, on both the virtualization is enabled on the BIOS. And, yes, I rebooted both after the installation of the fixes and of Virtual PC, as suggested each time.
