Hey Ben!   
      
    BR> Sorry, no joy. It just locks up when I switch to the terminal   
      
   No surprise here but it was worth a shot.  Just edit it out of /etc/inittab   
   now that you know.   
      
   I don't run any VM, nevermind having a Windows box whatsoever let alone with   
   it as a host for a VM.  Also I don't bother using any of the Linux boxes here   
   as a host for a VM.  I used to have one but it was all terminal based and it   
   did work.  Also I built my own guest OS so there is that to it as well.    
   However I don't do the virtual thing anymore as it takes too much resourses   
   and offers very little in return.  I prefer the real thing.  ;-)   
      
   I think it would have worked in a terminal based VM.  Good luck finding one of   
   those especially for ANY release of Windows.  Stinkin' GUI's!!!  I find them   
   ALL annoying and extremely boring up to and including xorg.   
      
   Kids these days.  :::sigh:::   
      
   Anyhow try asking in the LINUX echo.  You might find an answer there but I   
   highly doubt it.   
      
   Life is good,   
   Maurice
