Hope I,ve got the right catagory.

I downloaded and installed Virtual Box successfully (I think) and have attempted to load windows XP. Virtual follows the install process copying files, enter registration key etc etc but eventually hangs at a point saying "Windows will automatically adjust your screen resolution and wont let me do anything from there. Unless of course I turn the virtual machine off?

Can anyone help

How much RAM have you allocated for the XP guest?

I thought I allocated 50% of what I have which is 1 gig

1 Gig for the guest is more than sufficient. Sorry I have no clue about the problem.

I,ve noticed I,m haveing some issues with my grapihics card (ATI Radeon 9550) which m,aybe causeing my XP install in virtual to hang as ther last message I get is Winodws will automatically adjust your display settings?

I ve down load an updated driver from ATI and save it to desktop. Not to sure what to do now?
