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.

Re: Problem Installing OS

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
