Arnon, Alon,

I've done the tests as you requested.  First, I confirmed that the F15
host / F16 VM combination still works properly with respect to cut n'
paste.  Then I killed that VM and restarted the WinXP VM.

Then I did exactly as you stated above and verified in the cmd windows
that indeed the service was started and stopped properly.  As far as I
could tell, it indeed was.

When I did the actual test, please be aware that I did precisely the
following steps.

1.  net stop vdservice
2.  deleted the log files from the WinXP VM
3.  net start vdservice
4.  attempted 2 copy 2 lines of text from the WinXP VM from Wordpad.
5   attempted to paste those same 2 lines of text into the F15 host.
This operation failed.
6.  attempted to copy 2 lines of text from the F15 host.  
7   attempted to paste those same 2 lines of text into  WinXP VM.  This
operation failed.
7.  net stop vdservice.
8.  copy the contents of the log files into the email below.

Hopefully the above is helpful to you.  Please don't hesitate to ask for
more info as you need. 

I believe that I mentioned it in an earlier message but I'm running all
the most recent spice related drivers in the VM which I downloaded
directly from the spice-space.org download page.

Thanks in advance for all your help!

Mike
