Bugs in Virtual Box 4.1.10?

Post by Great Lake Bunyip »

Win8-2012-03-26-12-35-46.zip
Zipped Win 8 32 bit log of Virtual Box crash
(32.74 KiB) Downloaded 10 times
I have had repeated problems with Virtual Box crashing in attempting to use Win 8 Consumer Preview 64 and 32 bit iso files as the guest system. The host in both cases is Windows 7 64 bit.

The Win 8 32 bit log is attached as a zip file.


In both cases, after uninstalls and reinstalls of Virtual box and re installs of the Win 8 guests, the Virtual machine won't start up. "A critical error has occurred...."

Any advice to solve the problem would be appreciated! Thank you

Please see https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/10370

This is a known problem which affects Windows guests on older Intel CPUs.

Win8 will no doubt be supported when it exists for real. In the meantime please continue all Win8 guest discussion in this thread.
