    I just tried that Boot Disk too, with the same results.
    Hangs on booting the VM. :(

    This maybe a silly question, but is everyone using Hyper-V with the KB950050 update ?

    I had Vista SP1 (actiavted via softmod) working fine in Hyper-V till that update was released, now it hangs at bootup as well.

    p.s. Thanks for all the time and effort you guys are putting into this 'fix' :cool:

    I don't know i have installed Windows 2008 Standard 64Bits as host and VM and download last updates by microsoft.

    I have a screenshot of my host and vm so you can see it is activated by a oem key.

    @ mvanhelmont

    If you would be willing can you list the exact steps you took to get where you are now from the beginning?

    Do you have the WOW CD mounted every time you boot the VM?

    Thanks

    If you would be willing can you upload your (vmwp.exe) off the host :) I believe it is in the system32 folder.

    Also, :D if you could do a mem dump of the vmwp.exe process as well when you have the VM up and running, you can use WinHex, then send upload it as well.

    Thanks a bunch.

    The one you have may be the same thing, in WinHex you go to Tools -> Open RAM. In there they don't have names on most of them but the one you want is usually at the bottom of the list. What I did was take a screen grab of before I launched the VM and then after wards you open the one that is newly listed, once located you open the Primary Memory inside. From there you can do a search for SLIC and in your case I am guessing you should find the HP SLIC.

    You might just try and open the dump you already did with WinHex and see if there is a SLIC table listed.
