XP Guest VHD freezing on XP splash loading screen

[Bray81]

Hi All

Wonder is someone can help me with this, I am just starting to use VirtualBox but have run into a problem with a guest OS I am testing this in XP Host machine.

I have tried toggling off and on IO APIC and Enable VT-x/AMD-v and still have same issue, I have also tried to run in safe mode but this hangs on an AVG file and does not move.

I have enclosed the VB Log. Has anyone got any ideas how I can get this working.

Thanks

Paul

00:00:04.695168 RamSize <integer> = 0x000000000c000000 (201 326 592, 192 MB)

My first concern is that you're very low on RAM and giving 192 MB to XP is very not much, and wouldn't be surprised it doesn't work.
Looking at your configuration, this looks like an old PC which just might not be enough for this task.

XP can run in 128MB, my first XP machines did that. It may be slow however.

Toggling IO APIC is a bad idea. It should be set the correct way and left alone. Where did this guest XP come from? Did you install it from scratch?

What splash screen are you referring to? (post a picture, not too big).
