Re: 6.1.12 and XP 32 bit
A possible issue might be the video, depending on if your XP guest has 3D acceleration enabled, and then whether you were already on 6.1.x or were coming from 6.0.x & earlier.
Up to 6.0.x, the default VboxVGA video card had 3D acceleration available. Starting 6.1.x, VboxVGA no longer has 3D acc. due to security issues. The other video card for Windows guests, VobxSVGA, only has 3D acc, for Windows 7 & later.
I have not heard of any other issues related specifically to XP guests and 6.1.12.
