I've been experiencing the same problem, (but on a Windows Vista host), trying to find out how to resolve this has been a challenge! The "host.cpukHz" setting and disabling AMD's PowerNow! has helped, but the seconds keep speeding up every now and then. Luckily, I'm not using my VMs for anything that requires accurate timestamps, like emails, etc. Thanks again, I'm glad I'm not the only one with this problem! Cheers, - Lee Hi Stuart, Good post.
