You did not create a VM with Windows XP/2003 as selected OS
ReactOS is still in alpha stage, meaning it is not feature-complete and is recommended only for evaluation and testing purposes.

If my post/reply offends or insults you, be sure that you know what sarcasm is...

Can you briefly explain the configuration setting of the VirtualBox 06 virtual machine?
