Ì´m getting a similar problem but in a different way. Lets say i have 2 different laboratories, with same kind of machines. Ñets call them Room A and Room B. Just trying to start an already created virtual machine in both.

In the PC's of room A , im getting that error - (192) -

In room B, where the machines should be equal, the virtual machine works fine.

I´m using Virtual PC 2007 in both places.

Any idea would be useful, thanks in advance.

The problem is that, in my case, both places use the exact same machines,
identical OS etc. What im looking for is something that could cause a VM to
crash in a machine but not in another. I just havent any clue. Brain totally
empty of ideas right now.

The only time I've had problems like this is when I copied the VHD and the
VMC file to another computer. In my experience, it is better to just copy
the VHD (hard disk) file to the new machine, then create a new VM using the
wizard. Presumably you end up with the same VMC file, but if there is the
slightest difference between the host machines you can have problems when
trying to use a VMC file created on another machine.

Just my 2 cents.

Ok, really werd, after ensuring the 2 machines are identical, tried to create
a new VMC. Did it identical to the ona i had (who works in the other
identical machines). I failed again. But when disabling the Hardware
Virtualizacion, it is working now. really strange as said, but OK, i hope it
can help others.

Thx you all a lot for the help.
