comment When Visual Studio trial is expired, can I buy and use a valid license key for the current installation?
It's easier to do it from "Help" > Register Product than use Change Programs or Features.

comment What is the keyboard shortcut for minimizing a normal window?
That works only on Windows 7. There is no keyboard shortcut to do a single window at a time in XP without the help of a 3rd party tool. (Yes, you can use Alt+Space, n - but that's not really a shortcut, just using accelerator keys).

Do you get a minidump that can be analyzed? Being able to figure out if there is a faulting module, consistently, would go miles for figuring out what it is.

comment How to overcome error 0x800F0A12 while installing Win 7 SP1?
In your command prompt, is it elevated? (It will say "Administrator" in the title bar). If not, run it elevated by typing "cmd" in the start menu search, and holding "ctrl+shift" whild clicking it. Then try your mountvol.

comment why does Windows 7 x64 Explorer.exe suddenly gobble up all available RAM and slow my system to a crawl?
Temporarily boot into safe mode. That will disable all extensions and hooks into Explorer, and see if the problem is still there.

comment Dell XPS 710 - Boot Device Not Available
You could start by removing all but one of the DIMMs and seeing that doesn't work. If it doesn't, try a different one just incase that was the one that was bad. Also disconnect anything that isn't needed.

What exactly will you be using this VM for? A VM can only get you so much performance.
