I am using a WIN XP VM and everything works perfectly until I put my Video Memory past 64MB. The resolution drops to the lowest and all the colors are wrong. Below is a screenshot of how it looks.
These are my Computers actual Specs
AMD Ryzen 7 1700x
24GB RAM
GTX 1080 8GB
5TB HDD

Why do you think that XP could handle (or need) more video memory?

Please provide a VM log file. With the VM fully shut down, right click it in the GUI. Select "Show Log" and save "VBox.log" (no other file) to a zip file. Attach the zip here.

The picture seems to show a 16 color (4 bit) graphics mode. Did you install the Guest Additions in safe mode?

Well, something is wrong. But it doesn't seem to be in the configuration of your VM. Or any of the logs. And given from the number of all the people that are using XP, I'd say that something is funny in your guest setup. How easy would be for you to do a fresh install on a 2nd VM?

Oh, BTW, this was a fresh install of WinXP from the installation CD, right?

Well, it was an iso but yeah it's a fresh install. I will create a new VM and try again. I ended up getting my game to work on a Vista VM and it runs decent enough only issues I can see is the audio likes to bug out ever 10 min or so then fixes itself and small movements of the mouse is not registered in-game and fast movements arent either oh and the frame drop but that might be due to a virtual GPU
