DOS VDM does not loads

(1/1)

Martin Iturbide:
Hello

I have here ArcaOS 5.1 on VirtualBox as a guest. DOS VDM (Windowed and full screen) used to work fine, but now don't. I don't remember any change I did that may affect the DOS VDM.

When I run it, I see a quick popup of the window and then it quits.

I got this error on the popuplog.

Even that I can revert back the VM, I want to know any suggestion of what I did to broke those, or if there is a way to fix it back.

Regards

Roderick Klein:
Or did you upgrade the Virtualbox version recently and that broken it ?

Martin Iturbide:
Hello Roderick

I updated the host to 7.1.6 some days ago. But DOS VDM is not a thing that I use everyday to confirm that is the issue.

There is something strange here.
- Win-OS/2 mode is working.
- I had rebooted the VM, (Installed XWP), and now the DOS VDM runs, but if I execute a "dir" when it reaches the end, it crash, the same for full screen.

Regards

Hello

On Virtualbox host to 7.1.6, I created a new ArcaOS 5.1 (BIOS) VM, and the DOS VDM (Windowed and full screen) works fine. I'm guessing this rules out Virtualbox 7.1.6 and it should something extra that is causing me that issue on the other VM.

Regards

Martin Iturbide:
I also don't see anything strange on the autoexec.bat.
