[X4U] Virtual PC 7 quite brittle...

[Valerie Maples]

Actually, no.  This is a very tough problem to correct depending on your
configuration and installation disks.  It is a Windows operating problem, as
I recently experienced it on my daughter's laptop and it took me about two
weeks to solve.  Someone pointed me to a computer tips site, but I don't
remember which one.  I'm pretty sure you can Google missing (and) the name
of the file and it will bring up the best sites to start you off.  There are
about four options to repair the problem, depending on, as I said, your
configuration and original Windows installation disks.

Hopefully you will find a solution that you can implement quicker than I
did.  

Best wishes! 
Valerie
