Message:I have 1 GB applied to the Vista machine-Ultimate
I am currently running Virtual PC SP1
Again, this machine runs fine. It was when I installed Vista Ultimate w/SP1
that I encountered issues. It loads unbelievably slow (A few hours) and its
performance its terrible

How much RAM does your host have?
How much of it have you allocated to the VM??

Message:I am not sure why the Vista SP1 did not install correctly. The install
package was downloadedfrom TechNe. I have 1 GB of RAM dedicated to the VM
and have virtual machine additions installed. It took way too long to
install. I did run the Vista test to ensure the PC was within Vista
compliance.
To ensure all was well, I downloaded the Vista w/o SP1 from technet. The
virtual machine was running fine with this installation. I proceded to run
all the Vista updates including SP1. All is running well now. It may have
been a conflict with the Virtual PC and Vista SP1 load.
