Cant finish xp installation

Post by TechNewbz »

Total tech rookie here, having an issue. I downloaded Windows XP OS to run in VB. The host computer runs windows 8. Everything was going fine on the guest OS install, but i got to the user agreement, and it says to hit f8 to agree. It does not do anything hitting f8. Also use page up/down to scroll up and down which does work going through the agreement. Any suggestions if its something i can do in VB or if its with the downloaded operating system. Thanks

Everything works except F8 then? if that's the case, sounds more like an issue with your ISO.

If this is a hacked version of XP then I'm afraid we can't help you anyway. Even if we wanted to do otherwise we can only predict the behaviour of kosher releases.
