Windows 7 guest and its XP mode crash

Post by MIRKOSOFT »

Hi!

I created VM with Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and installed inside XP mode.
When XP mode starts after few seconds VM crashes.

How is it with XP mode in Windows 7 Ultimate x64 guest?

Here's attached hardening log (compressed for file size limit):
VBoxHardening.rar
(21.66 KiB) Downloaded 9 times
Thank you all for help.

XP Mode is similar to running a VM. Running Windows as a VM and then XP Mode, is nested virtualization. It's not supported.
