Windows 7 - Windows 7 on Virtual Box

Update:

Nothing his working. :-(

I don't get why a fresh install of VB and Windows 7 isn't working.

In the virtual machine, or the networking settings on the host?

Well you could have meant the VB adapter in the host.

Anyway, I "solved" it by creating a new vhd, setting the networking options BEFORE re-installing 7077. I was trying to set them after installation...seems like a bug in VB perhaps?

When you did a fresh install of VBox did you make sure to remove all the old traces of it, including old machines and old settings?

Yes, I deleted the old vhd and such. Didn't re-install the app. Just got rid of all traces of the guest.

Sorry, was actually asking the previous poster...

Glad you got yours working....

I need to figure out how to migrate Machines from one install to another so I can perform clean installs of the OS and still have access to all my VMs...without having to convert to OVMF format every time....
