Loads first VM when started and locks host

I have been using VM for several years and have just experienced a problem
with it. When I open with the MVPC icon, the first VM begins and loads the
first VM on the list before I choose it. After a few seconds my host (XP Pro)
completly locks. I can stop the load it if I am quick but it still locks up
my host after 10 seconds or so. I have uninstalled and reinstalled many times
with no change. I have tried removing all Virtual directories. The MVPC
software and same VMs will work fine on other XP hosts. These VMs are 98se
and 98me. Host is XP Pro with 1024 RAM. Any help would appreciated. Thanks.

Can you think of anything that has changed recently that might be
causing this? (new drivers, new software, new hardware, etc)

I found an option (Restore at Start) was turned on. I don't know how it was
changed, but it was. All of the VMs were starting at once, locking the host.
I removed (copied and erased) all VMs, started MSVPC, changed the option back
to Do not restore. I reinstalled VMs. All work now.
Please excuse the trouble.
Thank you very much.
