VirtualBox 7.1

Post by mythisticksmeoff »

So. Yesterday I was running my XP32 vm fine. Today I made the mistake of updating to the latest release and my vm will no longer load. VB insists it should boot from a DVD. Any suggestions anyone? Can I revert to my previous release or do I just have to ditch the whole thing and start again?

There is no VirtualBox 7.1 so far. If you tried the dev snapshot then you should be able to downgrade to 7.0.14 with at most very minor VM config "fall-out". And no backups isn't a great idea with dev snapshots anyway.

I can't reproduce.
I tested the latest development snapshot and it's 7.0.97 r161998.
I installed the latest extension r161998 and updated the Guest Additions. I rebooted and Windows XP Professional x86 was working just fine.
So... yeah, whatever mythisticksmeoff is experiencing it's not because of the development snapshot build.

That's Windows XP running just fine on Virtualbox 7.0.97 r161998. ;)
