The only problems I ever found, and I could't even narrow it down to my specific setup yet for absolute lack of time, was that changing display colour depths garbages the screen (which is solved either by a VM reboot or a resolution change as well and going back to the previous one) and that if I'm running it under KQEMU with Windows XP host, if I attempt to open the Date&Time applet, QEMU freezes, takes up 100% CPU and can't be killed, forcing me to close every process I'm able to and then press the reset switch =3DP Then again, I'm using the company's VLK license and pressed SP2 disk, so I might just be dodging the activation thing completely. :) -- "The user-friendly computer is a red herring.
