TinyXP does not start on Win7 64 Home Premium

Post by jwka »

Hi all,

I am novice, so, sorry for maybe dumb questions.

I have successfully (?) installed Virtualbox - at least I can setup new virtual machines (which do not successfully run so far).

I need to install TinyXP (maybe a full blown later, but was told that the tiny would fully support my needs).

When trying to set up a virtual machine with either 64 or 32 bit Win XP, I can create all the things necessary, but after selecting the downloaded *.iso file (warez filename deleted, downloaded from the instructions given here: [cannot post urls ] ), there is just a black screen in stead of the blue staring screen that should be shown.

The ISO seems to be ok as I can open it and browse the folders with VirtualCloeDrive ...

Any hints what I do wrong?

Thanks in advance!

TinyXP is a pirated, cut down version of Windows XP and as such you will not get any answers here. You're on your own.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.

If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.

You can be thankful that, as a newcomer, you aren't allowed to post links. Had you succeeded in posting a warez link here you would have been permanently banned.

Legal issues aside, we have no idea what's in that cracked edition of xp, so for that reason alone we can't support you.
