Windows XP VM problems

[jackoHD]

I have 2 Windows XP VMs, one running Professional SP3 and the other running Media Centre Edition 2002.
I was downloading some songs from YouTube on my MCE one and I got a bluescreen, and when the VM restarted I got stuck in a loop of bluescreens!
Worse still, the same is happening on my other Windows XP VM! What should I do? Please help!

I'm not sure that this qualifies as a VirtualBox problem. Just because an OS/program that runs in the context of VirtualBox has a problem, it doesn't make it a VirtualBox problem necessarily. You're having an issue that has most probably nothing to do with VirtualBox, so my suggestion would be to treat it as such, as a native problem with the OS or the application of the guest.

Start with the bluescreen error codes for example. What are they?

The VM restarts before I get a chance to read the code

EDIT: I tried re-installing the normal Windows XP and it's working fine.
The MCE one is still bluescreening though.

Shut down the VM and issue the command:

• VBoxManage setextradata "<VMname>" "VBoxInternal/PDM/HaltOnReset" 1

Worse still, the same is happening on my other Windows XP VM!

I didn't notice that the first time. So, what changed in your system that causes all VMs to crash? A Windows update? A 3rd party antivirus update? A new program installation?
