I use Windows XP (OS) and I would try Windows Vista with VirtualBox 4.3.12.0 but VirtualBox stops the installation.
Can you help ?

Thank you for your reply.
I am using (OS) Windows XP Pro, X86, Service pack 3. Computer 2Gb mem., Intel celeron 2 Core CPU.
VirtualBox 4.3.12 r93733.
Hoping to try Windows VISTA (guest) with mem. 680 Mb (VirtualBox suggest 512 Mb). The installation stops after a while.

You don't have enough free memory on your host to allocate 680MB for RAM + 16MB of VRAM = 696 MB at least available on the host, plus some overhead... You need to close some applications in your host, or buy some more RAM.Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.
