window10 crashing when I try to run VM in VBox (apparently ONLY in those circs) - PNP:FATAL ERROR
Posted: 30. May 2021, 16:40
Can you help with this?
As things stand, the PC seems to work normally UNTIL, after starting VBox, I try to run the VM (Windows XP). Then it crashes, with the error message in the subject line above. It re-starts. If I try again to run the VM after starting VBox, the whole W10 is again shut down. with a blue screen showing hat error message.
So far I have not found any other operation which causes the Host PC to crash.
If it's relevant, I have done my best(!) to install printfil, which had to be installed on both the Host (W 10) and the Guest (the VM). I still can't get print from DOS programs with their own printer drivers, therefore requiring an LPT1 port. At least, I couldn't while I was still able to run the VM!
