I can move the mouse cursor but it dont pass this screen.I waited 30 minutes but still same screen.I can enter to Windows from safe mode but it cannot detect devices and i cant change theme so i dont want to use it on Safe Mode.I wanna use it Normally, please help! I see some peoples installed this build on VirtualPC but i cant use VirtualPC because im using Windows 8.1 (I was tried to install VirtualPC on Windows 10 but i get the sad face BSOD.Thats why im scaring to install VirtualPC on Windows 8 or never)

Well, since VPC can't be installed in your case, you can also use 86Box, but remember you need a quite powerful host PC to make it run decently in terms of speed.

I see where you are coming from. However, from the looks of it, OP is running Windows 8.x, and VPC can be modded with the updated vmm.sys driver below to make it work.

An actually supported operating system, such as Windows 7 would probably be better if it's a main computer, but it's your choice.
AlphaBeta, stop brainwashing me immediately!

I was have a problem with VPC when i was at Windows 7.The VPC was so SLOW but in Windows Vista, this problem fixed!

Actually, i fixed this problem.The problem is "APM Power Management" was enabled on bios so BSOD appears.But when i disable it, it installed perfectly and im using it right now! The only bad thing i cant get sounds :( Anyone know how to get sounds on this build of Windows Memphis?
