'Next' button is disabled on Memory screen

Post by benmanns »

I am using VirtualBox PUEL 2.1.2-1 on ArchLinux. When trying to create a new virtual machine, the 'Next' button on the 'Memory' screen is disabled. I have tried altering the operating system and version, as well as the base memory size, and neither of these changes have solved the problem.

Does anyone know why this could be happening?

Thanks,

Ben

Is there any warning or error shown in the wizard? Setting the RAM to a too high level will not allow you to create the VM. If you would have 1 GB ram, setting it to use 768 MB of it will not work. You need to set a lower amount, like 512 or even 256.

If you think you set everything right, please post a screenshot here so we can see what you are doing.
