Don't know if this info is useful in this particular case but here it goes:

-------------------------------------------------------------------

"Under certain circumstances with a Windows XP / 2003 operating system - 
intelppm.sys and processr.sys can cause a virtual machine running under 
Virtual PC / Virtual Server to crash (by default this will cause the Windows 
guest operating system to reboot automatically - but if you have changed this 
setting you will see a blue screen).  The reason for this crash is because 
these drivers are attempting to perform an unsupported operation inside of the 
virtual machine (like upgrading the physical processors microcode, changing 
power state on the physical processor).

Today this problem only occurs on Centrino and AMD K8 processors.  Most people 
see this problem when they move a virtual machine that was created on another 
type of processor to a computer running one of these types of processors (and 
then they usually see the problem when they attempt to shutdown their virtual 
machine for the first time).  Now you may be wondering why you have not heard 
about this problem more often - and the reason for that is that if these 
drivers fail once - they are smart enough to not attempt to perform the 
operation that failed again.

If you are seeing this problem repeatedly you can manually disable these 
drivers (with no negative side effect) by running the following at the safe 
mode command prompt:

sc config processor start= disabled
sc config intelppm start= disabled"

-------------------------------------------------------------------

This is in the guest OS, of course. I used this info when my XP vm refused to 
boot because of processor issues.

Hope it helps.
