Hello, I've installed Win Pro 8.1 on a new desktop and added the Hyper-V feature. Checking the bios shows Virtualization is enabled, and I contacted intel about the processor who verified it supports virtualization (dell said it doesn't). I can start the VM manager, create an Internal Lan Switch and go through the steps to create a new VM machine. When I click on Connect the VM window opens, then I start it. At that point the VM screen says "Connecting to Vm1. It cycles through for a while then shows an message " it couldn't start try again if this persists contact your system admin" (paraphrasing). What I find more odd is the bottom pane that opens in the VM manager when I connect to the VM shows the VMs state(?) and the image loads with a login screen. Has anyone seen this happen and have any suggestions? One other thing, when I try to stop the virtual machine in the Manager it says stopping but never really does it hangs up. The manager is responsive but no commands seem to execute. I then go to Services in msc and stop it and it says stopping the service and hangs there with the service grayed out and not able to select start, stop, refresh etc.
