    Does transporter support XP 2002 with SP3?

    It seems to create the VM, and then when I start it up it just sits there.

    Am I not waiting long enough?


    What could be wrong

    Yes, if it is not OEM version, I mean you may have problems if Windows installed not through normal CD version

    is there a way to make this work?

    any work around - as I would imagine that like with most XP installs it was not via the cd, but was an image

    If it is ISO image and it is not OEM, it is OK, in addition, if it is OEM, it is license violation

    the corporate volume license agreements that companies such as this one have with Microsoft allow them to do this - so lets not get off subject with licensing talk

    The question is - when I use transporter - it builds the image - when I start the image it seems to start correctly - and then just sits there


    Is there a way to make this work - or not?

    Is this a limitation of Parallels - or is VMWare the only solution?

    back to licensing, I mentioned in case of OEM, you have VLK probably,
    What is actual error, what software do you have installed on those PCs

    as stated - no error - it just has a black screen for 5 minutes before I give up

    many applications - but none of them are loaded by the system - things like word, etc.
