Hello everyone,
So i have this problem, i have windows XP installed through my virtualbox (newest version) and i want it to have internet connection. And since i know (from a previous install of XP without virtualbox on this laptop) that it needs a specific driver for the wireless to work (the wireless card probably isn't supported in the standard windows XP install).
So i went and downloaded the drivers, used an usb stick to transfer it from ubuntu to the virtual windows xp and put it in the c:\ drive. But now it wont install. I have tested this .exe on other pc's and even in WINE the installation at least starts, but in virtualbox it doesn't. It does show the error "not enough memory" very shortly everytime i try it, but i was also wondering if it is even possible to install drivers on virtualbox?
anyways, i want to know if there is a workaround or way to intall the driver on virtual windows xp, because if this isn't the case i will have a problem with keeping windows xp alive on virtualbox due to the "register online in 30 days or your windows dies!!"-message i continually get in the right lower corner. So i would appreciate any suggestions on this.
Thanks in advance,
Silas
