Windows XP guest gives black screen
Posted: 18. Feb 2009, 10:59
Hi,
I installed virtualbox, and then windows XP on my macbook. It worked fine at the beginning, except that I couldn't get it to be widescreen, so I fiddled with the XP resolution a bit, and tried to install the guest additions, but then it told me that micrsoft suggests I stop because it wasn't checked for compatibility. I did stop.
After shutting off the guest I tried to start it up again and now I get a black box. (The windows logo comes up but then instead of getting the desktop I get a black box)
What do I do???
I restarted my mac, and tried opening it again, but it's still the same.
I'm not such a techy so I will be very grateful if anyone could help,
Ayah
