  Problem 2: Blue Screen Error "A clock interrupt was not received on a secondary processor within the allocated time interval"​

  • This error occurs when setting up the XP mode for the first time. The system either freezes or shows the blue screen with the error message.
  • This issue can be related to hardware or software compatibility, especially with virtualization.

Suggestions to Resolve the Blue Screen Error:​

1. Update BIOS and Drivers:
   • Ensure that your Dell Inspiron 1526 has the latest BIOS version installed. Similarly, update all drivers for your system, especially those related to virtualization.
   []Virtualization Settings:
   • Check your BIOS settings to enable virtualization extensions (Intel VT-x or AMD-V).
   • Verify that virtualization features are enabled in the system BIOS.
   []Windows XP Mode Configuration:
   • Before starting XP mode, adjust its settings within the Windows Virtual PC to allocate appropriate resources like CPU cores, memory, and storage.
   []Check for System Stability:
   • Run a diagnostic tool like MemTest86 to ensure your system's memory is functioning properly.
   • Monitor system temperatures for any overheating issues.
   []Disable Unused Hardware:
   • Temporarily disable hardware components that are unnecessary for virtualization, such as external peripherals.
2. Install Windows XP Directly:
   • Consider installing Windows XP directly on your system using a separate partition to bypass virtualization complications. Do try these steps and see if they help resolve the issue.
