As usual, you failed to provide relevant information related to your problem. Can you take a screenshot? Do you receive a BSOD, and if so, what is the error code? Second, try upgrading to NT 5.0 build 1877 from NT 4.0, and if that doesn't work, then try a different VM software, like VPC 2007, making sure to disable ACPI and Power Management/APM just in case.

I disabled ACPI, and I didn't get a BSOD, just the Guru Meditation.. Trying it on VPC now..
EDIT: VPC seems to work, but it didn't yet finish installing.
EDIT: It worked.
