I think the XP activation screen is an HTA, a kind of programming scheme in Windows that allows the programmer to lay out the look of the program in HTML web page language, then have access to the computer that a regular web page would not be allowed to have.

HTA's run under the Internet Explorer settings to a certain extent, and that screenshot looks to me like you don't have "show pictures" turned on in the guest's "Internet Options", Advanced tab, Multimedia section.

I may be wrong....

(BTW, what you did bringing the OS from a physical machine to a virtual is called "physical to virtual", normally abbreviated "P2V" Google this: "P2V site:forums.virtualbox.org" and try this link: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Migrate_Windows for more info.
