    BSOD Vista 64 host, XP guest

    I have several Virtual PCs running XP as a guest on my Vista 64 system. One of them gave me the BSOD after a restart... and now all of my Virtual PCs go to BSOD on startup. And all of them worked fine the last time I used them.



    Any suggestions?

    Thanks!

    Did you change anything on your host like a BIOS setting, a driver
    update, or added new hardware?

    I haven't made any changes on the host.

    I'm thinking about trying my luck with VMware player
