Hello I've deployed a 32-bit Windows 8.1 on
VirtualBox
on Windows 10, yet when I am logging in on the VM, a few seconds after the desktop appears, it starts flickering like a looping refresh, and I am unable to see any icons. Any fix for this, without having to reinstall the whole thing again? Cheers.

I found it: https://ibb.co/Ss8sNB1 And
VirtualBox
runs for a while but it doesn't do anything probably because I haven't a ISO selected :-p If you know how to load one please tell me, but of course I'm going to look for that for myself.

Self esteem, honestly. Well then, an update: I have a Windows 7 64-bit ISO.
VirtualBox
supports just a 32-bit version, or so it seems right now. I'll give some more information later.

VirtualBox
. Now it runs well! :-)

If the computer is old and cannot run the virtual host application, you shouldn't expect that it will be able to run the virtual guests either.

>Also, remember that you cannot run 64-bit virtual machines on a 32-bit CPU Not directly, no, but bear in mind I've been running TempleOS on my 32 bit machine using `qemu-system-x86_64`.

In
virtualbox
you have a number of machine settings. One is for the virtual video adapter (Display settings). You need to increase the memory to the max (128MB), and for Linux clients enable 3d acceleration (2d is for Windows operating systems). Doing this I can use a 1920x1200 HD display with full color.

There are recurring issues with Windows logins so I won't get into that yet. Try this. When you log into your W8.1 try another account. To save me a lot of typing I'm still encountering "corrupt profile" issues on W8.1 now and then. Not on my personal machines but folk have brought me a few over time.

That's not an unknown message or much of a mystery. If you were to share the machine's make, model, CPU model, BIOS version and age I might look into this further to see if your PC can turn it on. But for now I'll wait for you to tell more about the PC. Also, share which Ubuntu version and which flavor along with 32 or 64 bit.
