looping start after update

Source: microsoft.public.mac.virtualpc

Message:

after i downloaded microsoft update, W2K Pro ( VPC 6 / G4 PowerBook /
OSX 10.4.4) starts up over and over.

i followed the advice of earlier threads on this forum to restart the
mac. that worked -- temporarily.
after i restart the mac, W2K starts. but if i restart W2K again, it
loops. i've found that if i save and close vpc during the loop, W2K
will start when i open vpc again.

if uninstall the Update Rollup 1 for Windows 2000 SP4, my startup
problems go away. but since the update interacts with other hotfixes
(according to a warning message that appears during the uninstall), i'm
wondering if there's just one element of all this that's causing the
problem.

thanks.

This "could" be some spyware in the virtual machine. First thing I
would do is roll back the update, run some spyware software like
adaware or spybot, or both. Then download the update. See what happens

I believe this could be an old VPC 6.1.1 error noting in this forum
about 2 years ago. When W2K asked you to "Restart" DO NOT use that
button.
Instead, go to the "Shutdown" command at lower left side of the
window.
After shutdown, re-boot your W2K C-drive.

An old MSFT security patch started all this & to this day, I still use
the Shutdown method. If I forget, I too get a "loop" after the Restart
is pressed.

I run OS X 10.4.4, VPC 6.1.1, and W2K with ALL of MSFT's patches
installed (incl. Update Rollup 1)..

My advise: Install ALL of MSFT's updates... whether W2K or XP.

Cheers, Jim B
