Hi,

This used to work fine on Beta 1. After getting Beta 2 installed
(Windows Defender) the computer performance with Virtual PC is
terrible. The considerable slow down occurs when VPC starts
loading/running a virtual machine. The only way for me to work around
it is to stop 'Windows Defender' service.

My 2Ghz laptop has Windows XP SP2 installed with 1Gb of RAM and plenty
of free HD space. Virtual PC 2004 SP1 virtual machine files are stored
and loaded from an external HD, which is connected to laptop via
firewire.

I really hope to see this fixed if not soon at least in time for the
release. Thanks.

Hi Sergey,

We do a ton of testing with Virtual Server/Virtual PC, and haven't observed
the behavior. Could you disable RTP and see if that changes anything?

Thanks for trying Windows Defender,
Joe
