Error 1903 Message: String too long to fit

Post by Marge »

I have a machine that was using Windows 7 32bit ultimate. It has a very old piece of software that migrated from DOS to Windows. It was running perfectly on the Windows 7 machine, but in my virtual box of that machine it is giving me an error every time I click to do anything in this program I get an Error 1903 that says Message: String too long to fit and Line: String too long to fit. I was wondering if anybody has encountered this problem and knows of a solution to fix it. I would appreciate any assistance.

This sounds vaguely like you P2V'd a Windows 7 PC. As long as the 7 OS boots, Virtualbox is doing its job. It could be possible a bit flipped, though, in the conversion. A reinstall of Virtualbox won't change this behavior. Try reinstalling the old app?
