Hi Eric, I don’t think that is the case. When you (or it automatically) selects the OS type, it should make all of the necessary changes. I did go thought the settings trying a bunch of non-default items. Nothing made a difference for those programs causing it to terminate the machine. The

Hi All, There appears to be a serious compatibility issue with the latest VirtualBox (7.1.2) and FreeDOS. First, I was able to squeeze the time in to update detection of the newer VirtualBox in (V8PowerTools) VINFO command. Not a difficult task and only took a few minutes. So when I booted
