Hello,
This is my system and current situation:
The Host System Kubuntu 16.04.1 Xenial unning on Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E6750 @ 2.66GHz, 8Gb RAM and Oracle VirtualBox Version 5.1.14 r112924 (Qt5.5.1)
Virtual Guest System: Windows XP Professional (SP3) with the latest VBOXGuestAdditions.iso, 3Gb RAM, and 60Gb HD (VDI)
with MS Office 2003 and 2007 installed, I run sucessfully latest Avast Antivirus Pro on other Windows systems: WinXP Professional amd Win7 Professional w/ot Oracle VirtualBox. I also run successfully Avast Antivirus Pro on Win7 guest VirtualBox.
However when I install Avast on the WinXP guest, after installation both guest and the host OS crash and the only way out is to reboot the host system. The VirtualBox Guru Meditation dialogue is displayed before crash with following text:
A critical error has occured while running the virtual machine and the machine execution has been stopped.
...
Pres PK if you want to power off the machine or press Ignore if you want to leave it as is for debugging.
...
OK Ignore
No matter of I press the system crashes immediately. The only way out is to reboot host and when starting WinXP guest is to press F8 key, start WinXP in save mode and remove Avast.
Please find attached the guest system log file.
Did anybody experience similar situation? Do you have any suggestions how to remedy my pain?
