Hi from a newbie,
I want to run WinXP on my new Compaq Presario CQ62 AMD Phenom II quadcore running win7 home premium. Virtualbox installed flawlessly but when I try to install WinXP it wont accept the F8 button to agree to the licensing agreeeant. The page up, page down and esc buttons still work but pressing the F8 button will not start the installation. I have tried two different XP disks and have also spent a couple of hours searching this forum for similar problems. Should I upgrade to Win7 Pro?
regards Colmac

Re: Win XP wont install
Does F8 work properly in the host? Do you have an F-Lock key on your keyboard? This must be ON to send the F8 code.
