Windows 9x: Standard Mode: Fault outside of MS-DOS extender
Posted: 14. Jul 2016, 08:24
So earlier I got bored and decided to put Windows 95 on VirtualBox. The only problem is that each time I attempt to install it it gives me a "Standard Mode: Fault outside of MS-DOS extender" error.
I looked over the forums and found out that you need VT-x disabled to stop this. The only problem is that the accelerations tab is greyed out. I tried Windows 2000 and it wouldn't load because VT-x is disabled.
Also, in my BIOS/UEFI I tried looking to enable to try to get that tab un-greyed. There was nothing about VT-x there. I ran a test to see if my PC could do it and it said I could. I checked and Hyper-V Virtualization in Firmware is off.
If it's disabled by default then why would it give the standard mode error even though enabled VT-x causes it?
My PC specs are:
OS: Windows 10 Home Edition
Version 10.0.10586 Build 10586
HP Envy 750 Desktop PC
x64 based
12 GB RAM
Intel Core i5-6400 CPU
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
