Risk II on Windows XP using VirtualBox

Post by ddn2003 »

I've installed Windows XP 32-bit on VirtualBox. I further installed Risk II in the XP environment. I can't, however, get Risk II to work. It crashes every time. I had it working on VMware Player, but VMware Player doesn't have much in the way of CPU controls, like VirtualBox does.

Any help is appreciated.

I tried setting up a Windows 7 SP1 64-bit image and Risk II still crashes. Can anyone please help me. I really want to get this game working! It works perfectly on VMware Player, but it doesn't have any CPU controls.

Please, please, please someone help me!

from the lack of response, i surmise that the pair of VirtualBox and the Risk II game has a community of one - you.

BTW, VirtualBox is not noted for playing games.
