| | Virtual Explorer going crazy I haven't been with VPC long. Host = XPProSP3, Guest = VistaUltimate, additions installed. I export my "Apps" drive as the guest's Z:. If, in the guest, I roam around that drive long enough (usually under a minute) digging 2 or 3 levels into folders, inevitably, the guest's Explorer goes crazy, using 99% CPU (according to the guest's TaskMgr). The host is at 50% CPU. If I continue, most of the time the guest's Explorer just restarts, unceremoniously; occasionally I get a message box saying that Explorer "has stopped working" and prompting me to restart it. Details show APPCRASH at offset 65A20 in NTDLL.DLL. Any ideas? Thanks. -- - Vince |

If you had two physical machines and wanted them to communicate, how would you do it? It's the same with one virtual machine and one physical machine, or two virtual machines... -- Mark Rae ASP.NET MVP http://www.markrae.net |

But (to my surprise) I simply did "net use ..." specifying the host's LAN IP and it worked. |
