Re: Finding W2K was Re: La Machine Est Morte, Vive La Machine!

Bill,

I think you should simply cancel the suspend feature. On the other hand,
suspending or saving the machine state of a VBox W2K VM is what I do
regularly without any problems. But suspending or waking up a real
Windows 7 machine can cause serious problems, as I recently discovered
when one of my Win 7 machines on my home network lost its IP address. I
first thought the network card had died, when Windows was unable to
restore the IP address. The situation was finally solved by powering off
all routers and connecting devices. Apparently the Windows machine had
caused an electrical malfunction in the router.
