I have created a virtual box on my MacBook. I am trying to create a Windows 10 machine, using an iso file. When I point to the iso file, the screenlet turns to the following; see upload. I have backtracked but am failing to find what I am doing wrong.
Please help with ideas.
Thanks
Alanp

Thanks for the prompt help. I discovered that the iso file was at fault. Downloading a proper one sorted the problem.

Glad you got it going. Marking as [WorksForMe].

PS. For future reference: 1) Change the DPI in Preview.app for your image from 144 to 72, not everyone has a HiDPI display ;), and 2) always prefer the PNG format for screenshots, it doesn't have any artifacts like JPEG does.
