No, that is not normal as the virtualization should activate quickly. My first thought is that this may be related to your issue in the context menu thread which suggests some form of software conflict. To get a better idea of what is happening on your system, please send us the following: * C:\Windows\rvs3.log * C:\Windows\rvs3inst.log * MSINFO32 report** **Click START > RUN > Type MSINFO32. On the System Information screen click FILE > Export and then save the file where you can find it to attach to your reply. Send the logs and report to support (dash) tech (at) returnil (dot) com and include as detailed a step by step report to aide the team in reproducing this in the lab. Thanks Mike
