"Installing Applications..." forever during XP installation.

Post by dissectcode »

So I am trying to use Virtualbox and I guess I had to "install" windows because it asked me to when I my Windows CD in and ran Virtual box. It looked like it installed until for the last two hours it has been stuck at the window that says:

"Installing Applications..."
"Please wait up to 30 minutes for the installation to complete."
"Do not press any keys while installation is in progress."

I don't understand how to use Virtualbox

why?

Thats why a manual is included. Suggest you read it from cover to cover.
An understanding of computers and what you want to achieve is also required.
