Xp host VM has encountered a problem and needs to close

Post by richardb »

Having given up trying to forward parellel ports in host Win7 64bit and guest Win98SE, I thought I would try Xp Pro 32bit as the host, VirtualBox installs fine and creates a VM with no problem, but when I try to run the VM I get the message "Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager has encountered a problem and needs to close". I have tried this on two different machings, both running Xp Pro and get exactly the same message, so it seems to be more the OS/VM rather then just a single setup. I have tried uninstalling, repairing, crossing fingers, even updating to the latest v4.3.8 r92456, but no joy. Can anybody help please?
