2010-06-11 21:30Is it possible to use this tool to determine what is taking Virtual PC or any other virtual application so long to boot on my computer.
Thanks, Sam

I'm not positive, but I believe this tool works in Win 7 only, plus virtual environments are slower than the real thing. If your Virtual PC is taking too long for your needs, perhaps a dual boot situation with your Virtual OS version (I assume XP) dual booted with Win 7 instead of in a Virtual environment would better suit your needs. That senario may be worth exploring.BACKUP...BACKUP...BACKUP
