windows 7 Windows XP mode crashes

[News Bot]

I am running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. I also run Windows XP mode occasionally on this system. I didn't think anything had changed in the XP mode setup, but now today when I try to access the C: drive on my Windows 7 system from XP (which is labelled

in Windows Explorer as "C on SYSTEM-NAME") XP mode crashes, restarts, and gives me a chance to send the error log to Microsoft. I can access the XP C: drive fine.I went through netsetup in XP to give the XP system a different name than my Windows 7 system name (although it was already different). Nothing changed.I disabled my avast antivirus protection on the XP system, but that didn't change anything.Do I need to do something in the Windows 7 system to allow XP access to the Windows 7 drives?This system was brand new last summer, and I set up the XP mode at that time. I'm sure I was able to access the Windows 7 drives from within XP for months. I don't know what has changed to create this problem. Any ideas? Thanks!
