Have now spent two days on this trying to find a pattern, as I found out I can start it sometimes.
What I've found out is that it seem to have something to do with available memory, and in which case (surprisingly) less is better.
If I start a dummy VM that wires about half of my available RAM (I have 4GB, so I create one that wires 2), then the Vista VM will start. It will crawl on it's knees during startup, but will eventually come up. Once up I can stop the dummy machine and the Vista will stay alive.
You might want to try as a work around. I would also like to try to remove one 2GB chip and see if that also solves the problem. But, for now I have to spend some time being productive too
