Re: [coLinux-users] Fwd: coLinux-0.7.1-20070101 crash my Vista after linux halted.

I think I should share this ugly workaround to the group. And yes the
halt problem exist only under Vista. I do try the same on my laptop
with windows xp and there is no problem. Thank to Norton Ghost allowed
me to restore my Vista without reinstalling.

This kind of mess is what normally happened when you move to Vista. I
wish you make coLinux be a Vista Ready soon. :)
