Hello,
so, and please correct me if i am wrong, you installed virtualbox on a
windows machine, then you created a virtual machine and the you
installed feisty and even if your start your machine with feisty you get
this error? Do you have administrator permissions on the windows
machine?

no no! my host os is feisty fawn, and my guest os is
xp sitting inside virtualbox; when i try to run xp it
simply reboots over and over, and xp does not continue
to configuring itself. xp tells me the error is "it
can not update the registry"
