Virtual PC 2007 Causes Vista SP1 to hang

On a dual-core system, I have a fresh install of Vista SP1 (host OS)
and Virtual PC2007 ( no VMs configured yet ).

Almost every time I bootup the system, it hangs with CPU usage 100%
and Physical Memory usage constantly increasing in TaskManager.

I generated a manual crash dump and seems that NDIS.sys and
VMNetSrv.sys are in an endless loop. Is there any known fix for this ?
If not, is there any workaround.

Thanks in advance.

In case MS VPC folks are interested, here is the call stack for the
endless loop...

Vista SP1 is not supported yet on VPC 2007

Thanks. Actually I found out that the same issue occurs on Vista Gold
as well. So this issue is not specific to Vista SP1.

It sounds like a problem with the NIC driver in the host OS. When you
install Virtual Machine Network Services it has to work with the NIC driver
on the host to provide networking to the guest(s). Seems like your driver
doesn't want to play ball.

  Check the NIC manufaturer's website to see if there is a newer driver for
Vista.
