Windows XP crashes to a BSOD (blue screen of death) during startup as a guest OS. It happens fairly often. So much so that if I must close Windows, I select "Save Machine State" instead of a normal shutdown. The only time I choose shutdown is when there is no choice (a new program installation, windows updates, etc.).
Sometimes just attempting to start again is enough to get Windows past whatever the problem is and it starts normally. Other times I must boot to Safe Mode, login/logout of an admin account, and restart. That usually works, though not always.
