It's possible that the current virtual machine build is not. Volker, is there some configuration thing that would tell you whether Vista is too old for your build? Alternately, there is a weird variable in your error message that Googling seems to indicate might sometimes be successfully worked around: https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=34542 https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/10872 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21654596/suddenly-getting-failed-to-load-vmmr0-r0-verr-ldr-mismatch-native-in-virtual It may be a permissions problem of some kind. I *can* confirm that I had a student use Sage via the virtual machine solution quite successfully (in fact we got a paper out of it) on Vista ... but five or six years ago! - kcrisman -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-support" group.
