Please refer attached screenshots.</div><div><br></div><div>Initially, WnXP guest has MPS Uniprocessor PC and I'm having problem while doing shutdown.

If i do the same to my WinXP guest I'm seeing above specified issue.</div><div>Instead of changing to Standard PC, I thought of changing to ACPI
complaint. </div><div>But after reading below article, I understood we can't change CPU models(MPS Uniprocessor PC/ MPS Multiprocessor PC / Standard PC) to ACPI simply by Update Driver.</div><div><span style="font-size:12.0pt;
