> https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/UserManual.html I should have looked at this before my last post. Sorry! Section 4.2.1 will answer some of my questions. But not all! So feel free to elaborate on that which is not obvious! FWIW, I'm a retired EE. When I was in school, computers ran with punch car...

I originally configured this VM in 2016, so that's why there is a very old version of the VirtualBox Guest Additions. I hadn't noticed that until you pointed it out. I have to admit my understanding of the VirtualBox Guest Additions is minimal. Every time I update the program, it asks me if I want t...

The New computer, the I9-10900, has a 1TB M2 SSD. Here are some startup time comparisons of the Windows XP VM between the two computers, measured from the moment Normal Start is clicked: Old (I5-650 CPU) Windows GUI appears: 8 seconds Windows XP logo appears: 15 seconds Welcome logo appears: 21 seco...

> Either your computer's "virtualization technology" (VT-x) is not on in the BIOS or Hyper-V is active. Hyper-V was not active, but VT-X was not enabled either. Changing that setting in the BIOS to ENABLED was all that was necessary to get it running. Thanks very much for the help. I did n...

One additional bit of information: The I9-10900 computer is built on an ASUS PRIME Z590-A motherboard.

I'm running VirtualBox v6.1.36 with guest additions installed on two computers, both of which are running Windows 10 Pro 64-bit v21H2. The first computer is old, an I5-650 processor, and has a working VM of Windows XP SP-3, which I use to run an app which hasn't been updated to work on anything newe...

Thanks for the reply! I will stay on v5.1.30 for now.

I am running VirtualBox v5.1.30 on a Windows 10 Pro 64 bit system. When I click on File->Check for Updates, why is it telling me that I am already running the most recent version of VirtualBox? Before v5.2 was released, I was always told about newer versions and asked if I wanted to install them. Is...

I'm running VirtualBox v5.1.28 on a Windows 10 Pro 64-bit system. I use it to run a virtual instance of Windows XP Pro. Anytime I make a significant change to the virtual XP machine, I save an updated snapshot. I keep the four most recent snapshots and delete the older ones. Last week, I was deletin...

After removing the Virtual Machine Additions, I now have both mouse and keyboard, so this problem is resolved. Thanks for the tip!

VPC 2007? Not XP mode? Because if it's the latter then it won't activate. In my original post, I erroneously said "Microsoft Virtual Machine 2007". I should have said "Microsoft Virtual PC 2007" (v6.0.192.0). Definitely not XP mode, which is the Windows 7 program. No keyboard me...

I am trying to get a Windows XP guest running under VirtualBox v5.1.6 on a Windows 10 64-bit host. I have been running Windows XP guests on Windows XP hosts under Microsoft Virtual Machine 2007 for several years. Now that I have migrated to Windows 10, I want to use one of my old VMs on this new com...
