BSOD on Win XP running on Win XP x64

[Gouveia]

Hello there, sorry if this is on the wrong section.

I'm trying to run a Win XP x32 virtual machine on a Win XP x64 host, but it just gives me a BSOD right after the "Welcome" page (sometimes, even before that page), but if I try to run the guest on Safe Mode, it starts and runs ok.

Is there any solution for that problem?

I'm trying to run a Win XP x32 virtual machine on a Win XP x64 host,

did it run before? changed something?

Yes it did, we just installed the Guest Additions and rebooted the virtual machine.

hmm... while in safe mode, install the guest additions again. Somewhere i have read here one should do that with the new 3.0 VBox release

Problem solved by installing version 2.1.2 of Virtual Box and reinstalling XP on it.

Dunno why, but problem solved. And I did install the guest additions while on safe mode with the latest version, but it still gave me the BSOD.
