I seem to have killed virtual PC on my computer. The built in one to windows 7 that runs XP mode. I tried to shut it down so that I could move the hard drive location, and after about 10 mins it was still shutting down so I (perhaps foolishly) clicked on the X and it started hibernating instead. Now when I try and start it is says can't enable integration features and just sits on a black screen. The CTR+ALT+DEL option doesn't work.

Any ideas?!

Disable integration and start the VM that way. If it won't start, try for a restore point.

Tried disabling integration, and still just a black screen :(

Tried a resore point, it couldn't find anything more recent than 2010?! Was hoping for something more recent than that, but if it comes to it I'll have to.

Gave up. Tried the restore point. Same problem :(

Edit:

When I used the restore point, I told it to keep both (just in case...). Running the restored one crashed as usual, BUT, it forced the original into powered down state. Which when I then tried to run, worked :D
