I was having the same issue, but these instructions worked for me.

I am having the same issue but I never modified any 'conf file'. I am 
attempting to install Windows 7 Pro 64bit. The VM starts and I get the 
"Starting Windows" animating/glowing icon, which loops forever but no progress 
ever gets made beyond that.

I am at a loss as what to do, seeing that I've followed all instructions 
carefully and have no interactivity at this stage of the process. Thanks.

I didn't follow the instructions properly. I modified the existing conf file 
which gets overwritten. I copied it as per the instructions and it all works as 
it should.

I hereby offer myself to be roundly whipped through the streets of Aberdeen.

Apologies, and thanks.

That seems suspiciously like problems with the vga emulation. Did you try the 
fix in the thread you linked?

Looking at the log file (which I can't copy/paste - shift-ctl-v & ctl_v just 
doesn't copy the log file contents like it says it will), the last entry is 

vga s->lfb_addr = f000 s->lfb_end = f100


Don't know if that helps.

Hi - it is W7 Home Premium (I said it in the title but missed the 7 out in the 
body, apologies).

Followed all the links I can find on the Qubes website, including that one.

Installed windows-tools from the current-testing repo.

One thing I am doing is loading the iso from another VM (as documented here : 

https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/hvm/

It finds it fine, and as I say gets as far as that starting page, but then 
nothing. I have to Kill VM to stop it.

I have win 7 as my windows HVM, if I remember correctly, you need to have 
windows 7, and not windows home. The windows-tools-package that qubes uses is 
only for win 7. There is a great page on all this at:
