VirtualBox Install

Options
I am trying to install VirtualBox on to XP Pro from www.virtualbox.org. I am intalling VirtualBox 1.4.0 for Windows Hosts

However I am getting an error stating:

'The Software you are installing has not passed Windows Logo testing to verify its compatibility with Windows XP'

It recomends that I should stop Installation.

Can anyone help me with this download?

    It will probably work, but hasn't been tested by microsoft to confirm it, if you want one that has, try microsoft's virtual pc, which is free, or vmware
    Ever get the feeling you are wasting your time? :rolleyes:

    You can get that quite often. It just means Microsoft haven't added it to their allowed listed of software. It should still install ok.

    VirtualBox is very good, offers great performance in comparison to other virtual software out there like vm player.
