Oh, so the Microsoft Textbook doesn't tell you EVERYTHING you need to do... figures.

Thanks for the help on this one.

Same problem..unplugged the network cable and all is fine

I am running Virtual PC on a Vista Business Host. The client OS is Windows 2000. My client OS got corrupted, so I went and got a backup of my Virtual HD (I was smart or so I thought).

Now I'm getting this ugly error. I have tried your solution and it does not work. I have checked and double checked I am doing things right. No dice.

Help About for Virtual PC says version 6. Any advice would be deeply appreciated. My life sucks enough that I still have to use Windows 2000 at work. To add insult to injury I am not able to work from Home if I don't have Windows 2000 VPC working.

Thanks in advance.

Awesome, first real solution for this issue. Thanks. In my case it was another file also starting with wmpn
Thanks Again

I've been trying to figure out this problem for a few days on Windows 7 RTM and this solution did not affect the situation. Did they fix one bug just to create another?

Thank you .this helped.

I will echo the others' comments: THANK YOU. This solved my issue, too.

Thanks for the head up on this issue. I confirmed this was an issue for me in Vista Business and Windows 7 RC. Thanks again!

I did as well, but in my case it was the wmpnetwk.exe that solved the problem after killing it in Task Manager.

I had this same problem. Stopping the media player process worked for me as well.
