Does anyone else have any problems with File corruptions??

Iâ€™m running Windows XP Pro on VPC 2004 SP1 which is running on my Windows
2003 Server (Yea.. I know its not supported).

I am having issues every now and then where my files I copy off UNC, or http
are corrupt. They will be fine on my local machine, but when I go to open
them up on my VPC, they are unusable. This is happening even when
downloading HTML pages. You can even see in the HTML where its getting messed
up. Not all the time, but a good 50% of the time something isnâ€™t right.

Do you think this is just my host OS running VPC? Or is this a known issue?
I donâ€™t want to just blow it off thinking itâ€™s the 2k3 server I am using if
it really can be something else.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've never seen this. How are you copying/accessing the files in the
VM? Are you accessing the files from the host and VM simultaneously?

No. Even on web pages that I browse. Sometimes the images will be bad, and
if you the view the source on HTML that is bad, you see some strange stuff in
there.

Any sugguestions? its really hard to debug your software when you are
unsure if it reads data from an outside source.

Maybe its a hardware issue. Failing RAM, overheating etc. Most
times, weird issues like this are RAM related. VPC pushes the system
harder than normal and exposes faulty/failing components.
