Where did you get this Win2k image? It seems to be doing some odd things: switching to a static IP address (which would stop NAT from working), and attempting to run self modifying code... and I'm not sure why, since Win2K never needed to be activated, so there should be no motivation to hack the boot.

You might to check whether AMD-v is enabled in the BIOS, and make sure that Hyper-v is disabled, then enable VT-x/AMD-v use in the VM settings.

Also, you should eject the GAs ISO which is still mounted in the VM.

Today i checked my bios-settings and enabled Sercure Virtual Machine Mode.
Later i changed the network-settings to a static ip (under secure mode from win2k).
(AMD-V was always enabled for the VM)
Now the virtual machine don't stop working after the login.

Thank you for your help! :-)
