Hello guys,

Breifly, I have encountered some problems with my XP Mode virtual machine in windows 8 because entire emulated desktop frozed when I tried installing an application from an image located outside the virtual drive and i have to terminate the emulation.

Everytime when i start XP Mode, Windows 8 seems to send the emulated Windows XP into hibernation. In XP mode, the entire application freezes, and my HDD usage jumps to 100%.

Does anyone can help me to reset the virtual machine or force it to shut down from outside the emulation environment?

any help would be highly appreciated.
