Reboot/Shutdown of guest causes reboot of host PC

    Running VPC 2004 (pre-SP1)
    Host: Dell Dimension 2600, 2GB Ram, Windows XP Professional.
    Guest: Windows XP Professional (pre-SP2). 384MB RAM allocated for each VPC
    Guest.
    3 Guests running on Host.
    All 3 guests are running PC/anywhere host and are remote controlled through
    the network via IP.

    When I shutdown or restart any of the 3 guest PCs through their Start Menu,
    the Host PC hard reboots.

    Any ideas, Thanks.

    Hi,

    On the host click the Start Menu then right click My Computer. In the new
    window go to the "Advanced" tab and hit "Settings" under "Startup and
    Recovery"

    In the new window uncheck "Automatically restart"

    Reboot or shutdown a guest and write down the blue-screen text, if there is
    any
