created an XPProSP3 machine and applied and tested the GIS - OK
The purpose was to create the VM drivers in this process so that I could then use Acronis UR to transfer my existing physical machine to a VM (I have to do this for another two machines).
That worked fine save for two files that were not located by Acronis: VMBus and Hyper_V_Gen_Counter_V1
I found the one - VMBus but not the other.
I presumed that I could re-installed GIS which would probably correct these missing files.
But when I powered up the VM
(a) GIS was no longer working (mouse behaviour and shape)
(b) Insert GIS Set Up disk was grazed out.
Is there a way to re-install GIS?
Where may I find Hyper_V_Gen_Counter_V1? - There are unknown sites that offer these drivers but...
I have 3 days to solve this as I must re-activate XP!
Thanks in advance for any guidance,
Jean
