Teething problems like that are to be expected in an (as yet) unsupported host. Indeed. I would try cutting the guests RAM allocation to 2GB. And are you absolutely certain that it's an x64 guest? I have just done so, but the error re-occurred. I have attached the log again. Yes, I have attached a ...

Then the instructions you were given were wrong. Nobody requires XP mode. There isn't even a way for a guest app to tell that it's XP mode, so how could it be required ? I do agree, and you are probably correct. Either way, I'm not currently in a position to change the way the company runs this sys...

As far as I know, there is no such thing as a legacy app that needs to run in XP mode. Nobody targetted XP mode as an app platform.

Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it!

I would like to be able to run Virtual Box on my Windows harddrive and use it to run the Linux install on the other. This is bec...
