Some operating systems crash when they run in the virtual machine. When this happens, the host operating system may crash. This problem occurs when the guest operating system allocates the system memory in such a way that the virtual machine monitor component of virtual PC cannot find memory for its internal data structures. Under such circumstances, virtual machine monitor returns a fatal error exception to the guest operating system and prevents the crash on the host operating system.
The actual cause of the crash is probably hardware-dependent. If you grab the minidump, I could tell you exactly where it crashed, and give some suggestions as to why.
To answer your question: no, I've never had virtualization software crash my PC. I have had VirtualBox mess up my network, but it only affected IPv6 which I rarely use. I ended up just removing network support, since I didn't need it in my virtual machine.
Ok, I will try to install the SP1 and post the results when done.
On the first place VPC isn't tweaked for Windows 1.03 anyway, so I really can't complain.
EDIT
It worked. It doesn't crash by pressing backspace anymore, and when it crashes it returns to the command prompt.
That is strange, I thought I had already installed that patch, but I realized I didn't. Now it is.
Thanks for helping!
