I've just made the jump to Vista Ultimate, and installed VPC2007. It seems
that it does not like my old Windows 98 vhd though, as it boots into win98,
and just as the desktop appears the following error box pops up
"An internal virtual machine error (192) has occurred. The virtual machine
will reset"
The error box is occuring at the Vista-OS level, not the W98 level - the
error is 'outside' the VPC as far as I can tell.
My hunch it that it's mouse related - it seems to be occuring just as the
mouse pointer should appear in W98.
I can still access my files in that vhd of course, but I can't run the W98
environment.
(and what am I doing? testing web pages made by my partner in various old
OSes - I even keep ancient W95 and NT4 images - oh the nostalgia!)

I'm not running HW Virtualization, or at least I don't think I am - that
selection box is greyed out.
By 'boot into safe mode' do you mean safe mode in the host OS or safe mode
in the virtual os?
Although now I come to type it - that's probably the answer. So.. F8 when
booting into the virtual W98, then remove what is likely to be the VPC
additions for VPC2005... yeah, that makes sense, will try it over the weekend
and post the response.

Hitting F8 on Win98 boot, then unistall additions, then reinstall additions in normal mode fixes the problem.

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 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.
Thx you all a lot for the help.
