    Problem Installing OS

    iv been trying to install an os onto a VPC but each time i try it gets so far
    as the install screen and then restarts my physical computer



    iv only been able to succesfully install MSDOS 7.01 but it does the same
    during start-up

    what can i do to keep this from happening??

    Thanks.

    First, try disabling hardware virtualization in VPC (File-->Options)
    If this resolves the issue, the problem is likely a poor hardware
    virtualization implementation in the BIOS, looke for an update from
    the MB vendor.
    You can also try updating your video and NIC drivers.

    Thanks, I Did That And It Stoped The Short Crash Before It Restarted My
    Computer, And I Also Found That Setting The Allowed Screen Resolutions To
    Only Standard Ones Allowed Me To Finish The Installations And Succesfully Run
    Them
