Unrecoverable Processor Error

In my ongoing travails doing a P2V, I managed to get the machine up and running with
some difficulty and a Windows repair. This was an XP/SP3 box, that probably has/had
some registry corruption. (The physical box still boots fine, though.) I use
Acronis to back it up, then used Universal Restore to restore that to a new VHD.
Created the machine, and it just sorta hung at a black screen for me. So I ran the
XP setup's Repair option, which took hours (overnight). I honestly thought it'd
gone past the point of getting anything done.

This morning, I find that the machine is up and running - yea!!! So I give it a new
IP address to connect to the network, rename the machine to avoid the name conflict,
install the virtual machine additions, and restart it. BAM! I can't get past the
"Preparing Network Connections" dialog without the VM wanting to reset itself with
the Subject error message.

I've tried every copy of HAL that I can put my fingers on. Most just hang at a
blackscreen before ever doing the Windows flag. HALACPI.DLL (renamed HAL.DLL) from
the SP3 disc gets me back to the error in question.

What to do? Rerun the Repair?

Thanks... Karl

Update... I moved the VHD onto a Windows 7 machine, and fired it up there as a new
VM. It's working again!

I'm not sure if it simply wouldn't run on the same host machine from which it was
cloned? Or if the Win7 XP Mode version of VPC is somehow able to avoid that
processor error?

The plot thickens!

I have not yet reconfigred the TCP/IP so that it can connect to the network. That
was the last thing I did before the problems began the one and only time I got it to
load successfully. I think I'll tweak and test a bit before I go down that road
again. :-)
