I have a Windows XP VM that is stuck in an activation loop. I need to be able to start XP in safe mode to fix it, but I can't figure out how. The VM starts with the XP loading screen, so it's too late to press F8.

Thanks, that makes sense. For some reason I was thinking that since I used the virtio drivers for everything else, that I would use them for the graphics as well.

I have an Windows XP SP3 VM up and running except I don't know what to use for the VGA driver. I successfully used virtio drives for the ethernet, PCI device, and PCI simple comm. controller, but none of the virtio drivers will work for the VGA. I'm passing through an integrated graphics Intel HD 630, i3-7100 CPU
