And you loading 32bit of WCPR
I think you will have errors

Need to do a clean install in
a clean partition or clean HDD.

I too tried virtual box on a dell and got this same error. I am running an e2160 in a desktop with xp home as the host. The e2160 does not support the VM extensions that a zdnet article that was based on running off of virtual box said it needed. I will try vmware player now.

I had to upgrade my vmware player (I was getting another error) but the install appears to now be working as I overwrite a copy I made of a Ubuntu VM.

Well the attempted install on top of an 8G ubuntu file didn't work. Expanding the hard disk and trying again but apparantly the expansion is rather time consuming in vmware.

Check box


I just clickedy clicked the check box and booooooom, it works.

I read somewhere that the access to 3d may have to be apparent... although that would be silly on a install... right...

Let me know if this fixes.

I didn't get that message. But, after installing yesterday, I rebooted many times back into Windows 7 and Again into Windows8. I switched off for the night. Today I found that I could boot into Windows 8 but Windows 7 stalled before the desktop. I inserted the Windows 7 install DVD and did a startup repair. All is well again. Oddly, it didn't destroy the Windows boot manager (I have a dual boot - my choice - in separate partitions. It normally did this in the past.

Ouch, shouldn't really have to do that but oh well, it is a beta after all.

Worked for me, but now it's flashing with a black background and white letters. Please restart your PC. I'll post a screen in a new thread.

btw does anyone know if Micrososft will update this version and send out another Beta? just curious

As information, I have a Dell Latitude D600 and a Dell Inspiron 600M, they are essentially the same system, the 600M is 1.6 GHZ and 1 Gig of memory, the D600 is 2 GHZ and 2 gig of memory. I started the install process on the D600 (with an Windows XP base) and at the first 'restart' I received an 0xc0000260 error. It was not a blue screen error, it was earlier in the process. Long story short, I moved the drive to the 600M system and the install process completed and the Win 8 system runs (with audio issues). If I put the drive back into the D600 I get the blue screen 0xc0000260 message after a message that the system is going into 'automatic repair'. Setup on the D600 shows a 'boot speed' option, other than that I can see no difference in the hardware configuration. They are both at the latest A16 BIOS level. I have occasionally gotten an error code "file \hiberfil.sys 0xc0000411" instead of the 0xc0000260, the first time I received this was after slowing the boot speed, but it is not a consistent result of changing the boot speed.
