It's been nearly a year since anyone posted to this but I found a KB article with a HotFix for this issue: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/941125/en-us

Good Luck

i had this problem as well... eventually i deleted all the .vmc shortcuts from here - C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Virtual Server\Virtual Machines\

this allowed me to connect to the admin site but showed no virtual machines. i tried to use any exisiting .vmc files but it crashed.

i deleted all the .vmc files and tried to re create them using the same folder structure... it crashed.

i renamed all the machine folders and deleted all the .vsv files (losing any saved state), then i re created the machines and copied the .vhd files into the new folders. this seemed to work.

i still do not know what caused the problem but this seemed to fix it.
