Virtual PC 2004 on dual core machine

Hello *,

I'm running VPC on various host machines without a problem. On my laptop
computer the guest machine crashes (1) sometimes, when I run only one
guest, (2) very often, when I run two. Switching between machines seems
to increase the probability of a crash.

Has anyone seen something like this before, is it a problem of two
processors (all other machines are single-core)? Does it help to limit
VPC to only one processor, or does switching to VPC 2007 solve the problem?

Host OS XP Pro, guest OS Win2K Pro, VPC Build 582.

Thanks a lot,
Andreas

By "two processors" do you mean one dual-core processor? Have you tried
creating a new virtual machine on the laptop and then attaching the .vhd?
When you move the virtual machine are you shutting it down completely?
