Hi, I'm facing the same problem here. A Windows XP (SP3 + all current Updates) which uses constantly ~95% CPU on each core. I've already tried: - Using only 1 core - Replacing the HAL in Windows - Using another KVM version - Using different timer options for KVM I'm currently on KVM-85 where the problem still exists.
