Debugging on Win7 HyperV VM, get multiple instances of "0xC0000096 Privileged instruction" exceptions

Question

When I debug a large app (with VS2008) that I maintain on a Windows 7 Hyper V VM, it seems that once I hit a breakpoint, VS constantly throws 0xC0000096 Privileged instruction exceptions( or 0x00000005 Access violation reading 0x03A6E7EB).

It doesn't seem to matter where the breakpoints are set either. I can do exactly the same things on a Win2k3 box with VS2008 installed, but never get these faults. The code & the settings are the same. When I first installed VS2008 & compiled & debugged the app these exceptions weren't being thrown - it only started happening after a couple of weeks. Is this a Hyper V/virtual machine issue or what?

There's not much point supplying any code as it seems independent of that, though if any more info is needed I'll try to supply it.
