I'm having the same problem (I hate it when ppl say that and they really aren't, but I really am)!

I just installed Virtual Box 3.2.4 and tried to install Windows XP 64 bit and I get stuck at the same place. I've tried changing certain settings to no avail. I've even tried the fix for Windows 2000 (the one where you modify the virtual machine with the command 'vboxmanage setextradata "machine name" "VBoxInternal/Devices/piix3ide/0/Config/IRQDelay" 1') but that didn't help.

VirtualBox: 3.2.4 r62467
Enabled (tried to disable but doesn't work) IO APIC
Processor 1 (tried 2 but also didn't work)
Enabled PAE/NX
Enabled VT-x/AMD-V (again, doesn't work when disabled)
Enabled Nested Paging (same, doesn't work disabled either)
RAM: 2048
Video Memory: 128
Disabled 3D Acceleration
Disabled Network
Disabled Serial Ports.

Host PC: Win7 Professional x64, 16GB RAM, CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 870 @ 2.93 GHz.
