XP getting error while loading the ISO Images

Post by Yantrik »

hi, I am a VB and Linux noob. I am using a old laptop with XP, 512 Ram, 1.3 GhZ AMD processor but when i try to load (ubuntu or minit ISO) i get the error.
I have attached the log and Pnf file so that some intelligent being can help me out.

Thanks for posting the log.

You may have other problems, but you will struggle to run a modern OS on such a limited host. In particular you can't assign more RAM to the VM than is available on your host (between simulated RAM and simulated graphics RAM you are assigning 280MB + sundries to the VM, which is more than your host has available).
