[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1045560, member: 46727"] For one, the VM is not using Windows drivers. It uses its own supplied drivers by installing "guest tools". And since the VM is already running, it takes very little time to boot Windows. Since you're using MSE, that can't be the problem. I also use MSE and my Windows 7 boots in less than 30 seconds. Open up the configuration editor (System Configuration from the Start menu) and select the startup tab. Take a look and see what's starting. Something there may be delaying the boot. Also - do you have any external devices attached; hard drive, DVD, camera, music, etc ? Any of those will delay the startup. From Administrative Tools, open the Event Viewer and look for errors. Let us know. Regards. [/QUOTE]
