[Solved] Configuring the VM

Post by tresvdoble »

Hello, it does not let me modify anything in the configuration of a Windows XP VM, the OK button is disabled.

A greeting

At the bottom of the Settings window there will be an 'invalid settings' icon. Put the mouse cursor over that icon and a warning message will appear. Tell us exactly what that message says, please.

In addition to Scott's request, I'd like to know what the VirtualBox manager says is the current run state of the VM.

E.g. like this :-

Thank you for your answers.

There was indeed an error in the virtualization hardware, and when I correct it I can make the modifications.

Again thank you both and apologize for my English I am Spanish and I use a translator :)

Thanks for reporting back.

I'm sure we both understood you fine via the translator, however another option which we don't mind at all is if you use your native language to express yourself as clearly as you can, and then we can get the gist of it using the translator of our choice. We find that this usually works best since we will quite often recognize symptoms even if the translator doesn't do a perfect job.

Marking the topic as solved.
