I'm currently going through the "microsoft update" dance on a VM there, and I literally left for an hour during which there was no progress because the QEMU window wasn't visible. Even stranger, if I minimize the QEMU window and then switch workspaces, it gets plenty of cycles. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com Don't Miss BoostCon 2007! ==> http://www.boostcon.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
