Try redownloading. It is a large file and could easily be broken(don't know a better word) during download.

Thank you Luigi2012SM64DS for responding.I've uninstalled & reinstalled the programs a couple of times now with the same result.Any other ideas?I'm all out.

 

[Luigi2012SM64DS]

I did not say uninstall and reinstall, i said redownload.

I downloaded new each time, also restarted the computer between each.Also using Tutorials from this web site to install the program.

Do you have all Windows 7 updates currently available? Does your CPU support virtualization?

Well you might have to use a different VM software. Follow the tutorial on my video that i made for some reason. How to Install and Activate Windows XP mode in Virtualbox - YouTube

Do you have all Windows 7 updates currently available? Does your CPU support virtualization?

This no longer matters. XP mode works without virtualization now.

Do you have all updates for Windows 7?
EDIT: Disregard this post.

The OP doesn't indicate if he has SP1 or not in his specs. If he doesn't, then it does matter.

Yes I have all updates for windows 7 including SP1.Also the check for virtualization was part of the tutorial.Thx for responding Junebug .
