Ha!  That was it.  Thank you.

Funny story: I only had 12MB left on the VM.  Windows XP doesn't come
with a partition resizing tool, and I didn't have enough disk space left
to install one ;)  I had to move a bunch of folders temporarily to an
external hard drive so I could install the tool to resize the partition.
 Being windows I had to reboot a few times, but I'm up and running now.
