It's mostly a legal issue I guess. If you don't have that copy of windows running anywhere else (including elsewhere on that computer) AND if you're trying to run the virtual machine on the computer that actually came with that Windows copy then I think you're entitled to go google 'wga patch', and do what must be done. :-) Cheers, Chanchao _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
