Here's my winxp pro config. I believe the vncconsole parameter is what 
automatically brings up a vnc window on domain creation. You may have to use 
acpi = 0 during the install phase. As I remember a previous thread, 
the 'asms' bug is related to that. When the install window comes up and 
says 'Starting Windows', press F5 (I think) and select 'Standard PC', which 
does the same thing (acpi=0). The localtime parameter hasn't done anything 
for me - set it to 1 or 0 and you still get UTC time - no biggie. The 
usbdevice="tablet" gets around the annoying mouse lack of synchronization 
problems. On the 'disk' param, the docs say 'tap:aio:' is preferable 
to 'file:', which uses loop devices and is slower, but 'tap:aio:' produced an 
image that was unrecognizable by qemu-dm. 'tap:' worked for me. 
Maybe 'tap:aio:' only works for PV domains. Look 
at /root/.virt-manager/virt-manager.log for the uuid that virt-manger used. 
Good luck.
