WinVPC won't boot FreeBSD 8.2

[Playskool]

I am very new to FreeBSD and have recently downloaded 8.2. I am running off the amd64 ISO through Windows Virtual PC on Windows 7 Pro x64. When I get to the FreeBSD welcome screen, anything I choose to boot (default, single user, safe mode, etc..) immediately shuts down the virtual machine. This may be a very simple problem but again, I am completely new to this :r. Hopefully someone can please help me with this.

Maybe an issue with resources assigned to the VM. What settings did you use?

VirtualBox is free and has worked well for me on Windows.

I used a 50GB partition and 512MB of RAM and running the FreeBSD-8.2-RELEASE-amd64-dvd1.iso.

Are you sure WinVPC is capable of running a 64bit guest OS?

Hmm not sure. I know it needed a 64 bit version of Windows to even download and install so I don't see why not, but WinVPC is more trouble than it's worth anyway. I'm just going with VirtualBox, but thanks
