so you are saying that the time corrects itself, and this issue is only on guest startup?

Installed, also set the time synchronization, but to no avail.Time or soon.

I also said that according to this article changed config.ini file, the machine's CPU model is Intel core 2 Quad Q8300 2.50Ghz
I added:
host.cpukHz "2500000"
host.noTSC = "TRUE"
ptsc.noTSC = "TRUE"

This question bothering me for a long time

Not sure, because sometimes several times faster, sometimes about 1 times faster

This is the screenshots I

1and:2host over 30S, guest machines over the 140S

3and4: I just cut down the pictures, and this time it did not last so fast.

Hi Fengare,

Do you also have time synchronisation set in the guest OS?
I mean is your windows XP guest trying to set the time itself as well?

It is suggested to only use one source for time synchronisation.

Use either windows time synchronisation OR use vmware tools time synchronisation, but not both at the same time.

Hope this helps,
