No CTRL+ALT Delete Logon screen after P2V

Hi - I have a customer with some really old physical NT 4 Terminal Servers (running Citrix Metaframe 1.8), I'm trying to virtualize them. After running a successful P2V the new VM appears to starts up successfully, go through the normal NT 4 boot process, but it never display's the logon box. Has anyone ever come across this before after P2Ving a NT4 server?

I'm using vSphere 4.0. I've tried the VMware Converter which is built into vCenter and the standalone version. Both converters report a successful conversion. I've also noticed that the VM runs at 100% CPU once it's been converted and is sitting on the blank Windows NT 4 screen waiting for the logon box to appear. I've also noticed that because it’s NT4 Terminal Server, it's using a slightly different GINA than the normal NT4 Server, maybe this has something to do with it. - Any help is appreciated. Thanks Danny
