Clueless Newbee ; Please Advise And Direct (Emulation)

You asked...

Yes.

In response to "Remove", I choose "Delete All Files"

After that, I try to add a new machine.

I give him the not-quite-same name of: "FreeDOS 1.2ZZ" (Two extra "Z" chars appended)

I'll give you play by play from that point on if it will help things, but the end result is that I choose most of the defaults according to the wiki directions...

[[ Memory Size | Hard Disk | VHD | Dynamically Allocated | 500.00 MB ]]

After I tell Oracle VM VirtualBox to make the VHD 500.00 MB (The default choice) he blinks for just a moment, flashes up the little window which was two or three choices before this one (for barely a second, if that long) and I next see almost the exact same message and window as the one I just removed; the only difference being that I now have my "ZZ" altered name in the left side of the window as well as the text message on the right pane.

This time I do have a video screen cap...

- 82 Seconds long
- MP4 file format
- 3.11 MB

...can I upload it here ? Is there a place where I can put it for you guys to see it in action, step by step ?
