Extrem Virtual PC Slowness Due to VPC Window Scrolling

 
 

The Environment: Doing a remote desktop connection (RDC) into a machine that runs your Virtual PC 2004 images.

The Issue: EXTREME VPC slowness, window title bars are missing, the mouse leaves artifacts and is about 5 seconds delayed, and the VPC is not maximized (has scrollbars present).

The Fix: Make the VPC large enough so that it does not have scrollbars or maximize it (alt+enter).

A seriously annoying and confusing issue... Below is a screenshot of the craziness. Note the mouse artifacts and the top of the Windows Start menu is missing:
