I am attempting to run a virtual machine of a Windows Server 2003 image using the latest version of VMWare Workstation.
When I power on the vm it boots up fairly quickly and I am at the login screen within 20 seconds. After that the pace is glacial and it take upwards of an hour or longer simply to get to the WS2003 desktop. And once there trying to actually perform the simplest of tasks is not possible.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this would be sluggish in the extreme?
Thanks.
