Hello

I have a "faute de protection générale dans le module WIN87EM.DLL ... l'adress 0001:2C9" each time on the same action in the program.

Context
Guest Win XP Pro SP3
Host Linux Ubuntu running VirtualBox 6

Do you have any idea of this problem origin ?

Regards

There is long discussion of what looks like the same problem here: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=59741.

I have not read the discussion, but since Michaln is involved (he's a dev that for some inexplicable reason has a fondness for antique guest OSs), I assume the discussion is in good hands.

The attached discussion thread doesn't have a solution, but it does discuss a workaround near the end.

Nice. Marking the thread as [Resolved].
Moving to "Windows Guests" from "Linux Hosts".
