Start IE7 in XP SP3 WS 6.5 RTM running = IE then OS hang

Per subject, I noticed that once IE7 is started, it starts very slowly and subsequently freezes / hangs the whole host Win XP SP3 OS. This happens when WS 6.5 RTM is already running. Very rarely will the keyboard or mouse react and the only way is a hard reset for the host. A workaround is to not start IE7 at all when WS 6.5 RTM is running.

Another observation. If all VMs are shutdown or in saved state and WS 6.5 remains open, shutting down the host (Start / Shutdown) will not succeed as the OS is prevented from doing so by WS 6.5 (itself shows as shutting down). This issue was not observed in any of the pre WS 6.5 RTM builds.

Tips or advice greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
