I have xp x64 pro. On older versions of virtual box I have been able to use the iso on the board to create a virtual 98se environment. New versions no. Some COM error comes up. I have viryual PC 2007 and I can't get it to boot the iso. Although there is a 98 selection for a VM machine. What can I do?

    mmm

    There have been problems with recent versions of VirtualBox with some antivirus software and Windows Updates. The version of VirtualBox I have is 4.3.12, you can try that version until this problem is (hopefully) alleviated.

    Alternately, there's always VMware, but it may not be compatible with XP anymore.

    I'm going to guess it's a combination of using Virtualbox/Virtual PC 2007 on Windows XP 64-bit.

    64-bit XP wasn't exactly renown for it's awesome stability and compatibility.

    If his computer can handle XP x64 wouldnt he be better upgrading to 7 (Home Premium x64) even 8 would work wonders on old hardware

    VMware Player 7 isn't compatible, but 6 is. And they're still updating it. The latest version of it came out on MAy 5th.
