Hi Folks, If I change the Admin account on XP Pro to something other than clear password then starting up the VM and getting to the login screen on XP takes FOREVER. If I remove the Admin password and leave blank then VM boots XP Pro quickly. I am concerned about security of leaving the Admin account blank. I tested logging out and back into XP and that works fine. It's only when I start the VM does this problem occur. TIA for your help. - Dano
