XP Mode Hibernates and Does Not Start

Question

I am running into an issue with XP Mode for Windows 7. I had it installed on my system previously and it worked with no problems. I uninstalled it becasue I didn't need it at the time but now I do need to have it on my system. I have downloaded the XP Mode and Windows Virtual PC from the Windows XP Mode download page. After installing both of the downloads XP Mode acts like it is starting and then goes into hibernation. The event log on my system shows:

I have installed the XP Mode Update and still get the same error. Also, a co-worker of mine had a laptop with a fresh install of Windows 7 Enterprise and he is having the same issue as I am. Both of our laptops have virtualization enabled in the BIOS.
Does anyone know what the issue is and how to fix this? As I said before I had this working previosuly on my laptop but now it will not work.

Answer 1

I do have the latest BIOS installed.
I reinstalled from the link and rebooted with a Clean Boot. I get the same exact error message in the Application log. I also got an Event ID 1001.
