Ok, I installed Zoo Tycoon onto the Virtualbox version of my VM, and although the installer was nagging about how it couldn't install certain files due to the CD being old, the game installed successfully and runs well. Plus, the FMV intros run, unlike The Sims 1! :D Granted, this is a simpler game ...

No annoyances at all. It's all a learning process. As a rough suggestion, you might to better with games on an old OS if you run a dual boot with another hard disk and the host BIOS's boot selector function key. Oof. that does indeed sound like a rough suggestion. I'm too mindful of my own built in...

@ ChrisNonyminus, You've only mentioned having a sound problem with one specific Game (Sims 1), which was renowned for having sound problems on a 'full metal' installation in its day, so I have no idea whether your 'problem' extends to other less demanding games/applications. Just Google "Sims...

Aw man, that's a bummer. Oh well; I'm sorry to have annoyed you guys if I did, I didn't mean to.

An update: I had VMware workstation installed (the latest version, but with the free player app and a free trial of the pro app since I don't have enough money :P ), and I exported this Virtualbox VM to VMware and put it in the VMware player (and installed VMware tools) to see how it works. The game...

Okay, I installed SP3 onto the vm, and then did the steps to do the log. The sound was okay, no changes in quality, but it was fine. When I opened The Sims, though, it suddenly did not have any sound, and the ingame cursor wouldn't show. Also, after running the game, the vm didn't have any sound, pe...

I redownloaded GA on my XP guest with the guest in safe mode, but the sound is still stuttering a bit and the sound quality is still subpar. Maybe it's because the guest is still on SP2. I should go find SP3. Unfortunately, the official download for SP3 from the Microsoft website is no longer availa...

Okay, I switched to 5.1.22, and with Guest Additions on, at first, the sound was alright (minus the built in Windows system sounds still having some off quality and being quite stuttery sometimes, as well as only a tiny few sounds in the game), but when I uninstalled Guest Additions off to compare (...

It looks like there's a 5.1.25 version in that thread you linked to. Do you think it will solve this problem I've been having with the sound?

Ok. But where can I download this version?

EDIT: Nevermind :p

Try uninstalling Virtualbox, rebooting the host, then installing 5.1.22. On a Windows host, to install Virtualbox properly you must right-click the Virtualbox installer program and choose "Run As Administrator" from the right-click menu, even if your account is an administrator account. (...

VirtualBox VM 5.1.24 r117012 5.1.24 has a couple glitches. Is this a fresh install of Virtualbox or an upgrade? If an upgrade, was the previous version you were using working well? If so, what was ther version? (Numbers, hint hint :) ) I had VirtualBox before (and that old version had a problem whe...

Please post a VM log file. With the VM fully shut down, right click and "Show Log" in the GUI, save "VBox.log" (no other file) to a zip, and attach the zip here. Ok, but this might not be an accurate log, as Virtual Box was closed a few times between sessions, iirc. EDIT: Oh cra...

The newest version.

(Hi, I'm new to this forum site, I'm sorry if I accidentally put this in the wrong board.) The mouse stutters too if I DON'T use Guest Additions. I'm trying to use a VM so I can play The Sims 1 since it doesn't work on Windows 10. And plus, if I don't use Guest Additions, I can't drag the window and...
