To resolv these issues I did the following: 1. Install with "-no-kvm" 2. Whilst installing Windows 2000 SP 4 I get an error about "Com+" not being able to install which I ignore. 3. After installation finishes I reboot the CD and select repair installation 4. After all of this I start Windows 2000 with KVM and all works good. (There is also a bug report about this http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1634816&group_id=180599&atid=893831. This only happens if you start Windows 2000 with KVM enabled.) With Windows 2003 I used the same procedure, but it crashes at startup also saying something about not being able to run the "Com+ Service" and then reboots. But Windows XP runs fine on my Laptop.
