I will have to agree that upgrading to 1.6.0 has made my installation of WinXP go from a state of just having a few small annoying issues to completely not working. Most times it just hangs in boot at the splash screen fade in. Every now and then it will in fact boot up completely but typically some time shortly after a successful boot it appears to hang. Not enough of a hang to prevent the mouse cursor from moving but anything else, such as double-clicking the My Computer for example, just does nothing. Even a single mouse-click on a desktop icon does not "select" it so it could be simply that mouse click actions are not being passed through (yet movements are) but that's starting to sound unlikely. Additionally, I cannot seem to get any response from any keyboard actions when "stuck" like this. I'm not really sure if one of these Windows or Menu keys on my keyboard should actually do something but neither does any other key (or combination of keys including ctrl-del) have any result. Even a Machine->Insert Ctrl-Alt-Del does nothing and I have now just noticed, indeed, the clock stops getting update. So about all that is working is moving the mouse. As I said in my opening, this XP install worked a whole lot better with 1.5.6. b.
