I think I have just sorted this, actually. However in true I.T. support fashion I don't understand why it was happening - I disabled all the Symantec services and now it works fine. All the other VMs (running on VMWare) have the same Symantec garbage running and they log on without issue. Very strange.
Thanks for all suggestions as usual though - and yes, the UK sucks, although doubtless I would be scurrying back if I lived somewhere like Mogadishu :-) -----Original Message----- From: Peter van Houten [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 13 March 2008 14:20 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Confusing server issue Running out of space in the VM when paging to disk for the user?
