Guest is running very slowly

Guest is running very slowly

I had VMWare Workstation until it expired, then I continued in using VMWare Player.

In WS, the speed was fine and normal, but when I use Player, the guest is very sluggish. I opened up the clock in the guest, and 1 second passes by every 2-3 real seconds.

Host:

Ubuntu 8.04 x64

4GB RAM

E8400 @ 4.05GHz (OC possible cause of problem? has always been 4.05)

Guest:

Windows XP SP2

1GB RAM

1 core only

My Computer shows the correct info (1GB RAM and 4.05GHz) but it still runs slower than normal.

I have my system monitor running, and it's not showing any bottlenecks on cpu/memory usage, but I/O does seem to spike occasionally for about 15 seconds.

Let me know if I left out any information
