It's exactly the kind of post I love, since it only takes a minute to read, but it has the potential to eliminate hours of excruciating troubleshooting. Here's the <a href="http://blogs.technet.com/chrisavis/archive/2008/07/23/grrrrrr.aspx">link</a>. </p> <p><font size="4"><strong>The problem:</strong></font> </p> <ol> <li>You boot a VHD in Hyper-V and install Integration Services.</li> <li>You realize VM additions from Virtual PC 2007 are still installed on VHD.</li> <li>You get lots of weird little &quot;issues&quot; in the virtual machine. For example...</li> <ol> <li>The mouse jumps around the screen</li> <li>Text in text boxes is not displaying properly</li> <li>Key strokes are repeated of their own accord</li> <li>Numerous other quirky problems</li> </ol> <li>You uninstall the Virtual PC 2007 VM additions. You reboot.</li> <li>You install Hyper-V IS Components again. You reboot.</li> <li>YOU CONTINUE TO HAVE ISSUES. You reboot.</li> <li>You drive your fist through the wall!!!</li> <li>You realize you can't fix the issues by going back to Virtual PC 2007.</li> <li>You give up.</li> </ol> <p><strong><font size="4">The solution:</font></strong></p> <ol> <li>You read <a href="http://blogs.technet.com/chrisavis/archive/2008/07/23/grrrrrr.aspx">Chris Avis' blog post</a> on the topic and breathe a sigh of relief. (The fix is about 3/4 of the way through the post where he says to &quot;run MSCONFIG....&quot;).</li> <li>You take your kids to a ball game with the 5 hours of your life Chris has just given back to you. Enjoy. :)</li> </ol><img src="http://blogs.technet.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=3093872" width="1" height="1">VistaWindows Server 2008Windows ServerWindows ClientVirtual PCHyper-VVirtualization
