Unless the two machines have identical CPUs with identical capabilities, this will likely end in failure. Operating systems aren't happy having their CPUs switch capabilities or instruction sets between one cycle and the next. Likewise, I've noticed that different CPU speeds tend to screw with the VM system clock, especially amongst speedstep CPUs. Shutting down, moving, and restarting the VM works fine though, from my experience. -- Fuzzy love, -CyberLeo Technical Administrator CyberLeo.Net Webhosting http://www.CyberLeo.Net <CyberLeo@CyberLeo.Net> Furry Peace! - http://wwww.fur.com/peace/
