Error running windows xp virtual machine on windows 7

[gabomza]

I'm attaching the logs for this error, it happens every time I run the virtual machine. Nothing was installed on the host

Thanks in advance!

The error is pretty clear. You have 419 MB RAM free, you're asking for 512 MB and the VM comes to a halt.

You have to free enough memory on your Windows7 host by closing other running applications or services.
