Time is precious!

Going back to VPC using the same source, everything works fine.

Also, VB is yet missing Virtualization support for the CPU (the box is there but you cannot check it).
VPC does this already.

I used to use only VMWare because it was more compatible and was quite a bit faster than VPC.  But Virtual Box is the best of both worlds:  It's small, fast, and free. (and I haven't had any compatibility issues)

Now i discovered VirtualBox and i like it. For now i am sticking with VirtualBox coz of ease of use and speed(it is not superb, but it is satisfying)

if you r still wondering wtf is VirtualBox go here:

I tried Virtual PC 2007 first (because it was free), but half of my WinXP builds would get an error in a file in a sub-folder of \I386\ASMS\ that would stop the install.  It wasn't always the same file, but GDIPLUS.MAN was one of them.  I tried VMware with the same ISO's and it NEVER had that error.

It's really too bad... I liked the video driver support better on Virtual PC.

Are you using VPC to test your .ISO files or the actual burned CD/DVD?
If this is happening with .ISO files, it might be a corrupted gdiplus.dll file.  Grab a replacement from here:
http://dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?gdiplus

This error is almost always caused by a botched SP2 slipstream, a dirty disc, or a failing optical drive.
