Hello, I'm running a Windows XP-SP3 host and I'm trying to start a VM with Windows 8 or 8.1 DVD (ISO-file) but both fail to start. I get an error code 0x0000005D witn parameters 0x03061706 0x756E6547 0x49656E69 and 0x6C65746E and a window message telling to come to this forum and send two log files, so I'm doing so.

Host has Intel Core2 Duo CPU @ 3 GHz, 2 GB RAM and enough disk space (over 80 GB). Guest is assigned one CPU, 1 GB RAM, 25 GB HD and 128 MB video RAM.

Thank you very much.

Well, I searched it and the second result has (most probably) your answer.
