virtualbox 5.0.20 on win 7 32 bit - virtualbox

I'm trying to use virtual box 5.0.20 on window 7 32 bit. I need to create Ubuntu 64bit VM. But fail to open session error occurs. I can't start my VM. I hope somebody here can help with my problem. I'm very new to V box. Please advise me!

You can't create a 64-bit virtual machine on a 32-bit OS. There is a good answer on superuser about it.
You must use a Ubuntu 32-bit image with your OS.

Virtual box not working - Macbook Pro 2020 M1, MacOS-Big Sur

I am trying to boot up a saved am using Macbook pro with M1 chip.
I tried the steps given at this answer. But was not able to boot up the VM. Can someone confirm this problem or already found out a solution to it?
I got the error "The virtual machine 'Ubuntu 20.04 64bit 1' has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1 (0x1)." below:
Had the same issue on Mac OS Big Sur 11.4 when I was trying to add my Ubuntu instance (on Intel tho), nothing suggested here and other topics helped.
Turned out you have to give access (Full Disc Access) to Virtual Box in Settings. Go to Settings -> Security & Privacy -> Privacy -> Full Disc Access -> plus sign (unlock it if needed) -> choose Virtual Box Application -> Open.
After that I was able to choose my Ubuntu image in Finder.

As per David Leitko's answer, VirtualBox is an x86 (more specifically, AMD64/x86_64) virtualization hypervisor. However, it appears from various discussions I've seen on this topic that many users don't really understand what this really means.
So, it means not only that VirtualBox only runs on x86 CPUs, but also that it requires all the other elements of the x86 platform. These include system memory, various bus controllers (PCI, USB), hard disk controllers, sound cards, graphics, BIOS/UEFI, etc. None of these take the same form on the Apple Silicon platform - i.e. they don't use any of the standards built up in the PC ecosystem over the last 40 years.
So, not only will VirtualBox not work on Apple Silicon, it will never work on Apple Silicon. There will never be any way to run a VirtualBox image that ran on an Intel Mac on an Apple Silicon Mac. Ever.
The canonical discussion thread on the VirtualBox forums that covers this in more detail is here.
VirtualBox is an x86 virtualization hypervisor. It only runs on an x86 platform. See https://www.virtualbox.org
While Rosetta 2 will run many x86 apps very well on an M1 Mac, virtualization products are not supported per this Apple document
I just had the exact same problem after updating my VirtualBox app on MacOS Big Sur. What worked for me was to go to System Preferences - Security & Privacy - General, and then click the Allow button to allow extensions by Oracle (first click the lock symbol in the lower left of the screen and enter your password).
Actually, during installation I got this pop-up window telling me to do this, but I wasn't quite sure what exactly it wanted me to do. Only after getting this error I took the trouble of looking closer, ahem...
Hope this will fix your problem too!

How do I compile 64 bit SDL code using Code Blocks(Without admin rights)

I am running windows 7 64bit and
I am trying to set up SDL on my school laptop which I do not have admin rights for.
The project compiles fine but when I try to run it I get an error saying " the application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)." I Have experienced this error before when trying to run the same 32bit program on my 64bit computer at home. By compiling using 64 bit methods the issue was resovled however I do not have access to a 64bit compiler on my school laptop because I cant find any compilers that don't require admin rights to set up. So If you know of a 64bit compiler download that requires no ADMIN rights to install or if you have an alternate method I would appreciate it.
My stats
Code_blocks 12.11
SDL 1.2.15
SDL_image1.2.10
The compiler that came with codeblocks From Here http://www.codeblocks.org/downloads/26#windows
codeblocks-12.11mingw-setup_user.exe
try tdm-gcc: http://tdm-gcc.tdragon.net/
as for 0xc000007b problem:
it may occur when you don't have a working 32bit directx on yout 64bit system, you should update your directx, this may help solve the problem.

How to add redmonnt.dll using AddMonitor() under Windows 7 64 bit

I'm trying to register redmon monitor on Windows 7 64 bit. Here is an example of code I use:
MONITOR_INFO_2 info;
info.pName = "RedmonMonitor";
info.pEnvironment = "Windows x64";
info.pDLLName = "redmonnt.dll";
SetPrivilege("SeLoadDriverPrivilege",TRUE);
AddMonitor(NULL, 2, (LPBYTE)&info);
It works perfectly on WinXP with "Windows NT x86" environment specified. On Windows 7 AddMonitor() returns FALSE, GetLastError() returns 0.
At the moment of calling redmonnt.dll already copied to "C:\Windows\system32" (also it automatically appears at "C:\Windows\SysWOW64").
Also I experimented with Wow64DisableWow64FsRedirection() as suggested here, didn't help.
I tried "Windows NT x86" and "Windows x64" environment values.
Using thoughts from here regarding privileges tried to launch program as administrator, didn't help.
redmonnt.dll taken from redmon17 package from the official site.
SetPrivilege() taken from msdn examples with small modifications.
Would be grateful for any ideas on how to make this work.
Thank you.
Which version of redmonnt.dll you use? Is it 64-bit DLL or 32-bit version from the official site? The DLL will be loaded by spoolsv.exe which is 64-bit application on the 64-bit operation system. So you have to use 64-bit version of the DLL.

Faulting application splwow64.exe

I am running Windows 7 64 pro. When I start VMware player, with Windows XP service pack 3 installed, I get the error message "this application has requested runtime to terminate it in an unusual way" Microsoft visual C++.
I have dug into the event log and it is telling me that splwow64.exe is the faulting application. I was concerned at first but now that I know that it is a 32 bit print spooler it does not seem like such a big deal but it is annoying. Any thoughts on how to correct the problem?
splwow64 has issues with vmware (leaks memory). Remove printers from the guest machine on vmware, should work normally.

How to connect GraphEdit to my app's graph

I am trying to figure out how to get GraphEdit to show me my running graph from my app. I running windows 7 64bit.
In the directshow sdk samples they have a spot for registering with the rot. I read on M$'s site that I needed to register the droppage.dll(cant recall the exact name right now). So I did that, but still no dice.
Any idea's?
Remember that on a 64-bit machine, you will need to use the 64-bit graphedt and 64-bit proppage.dll for your 64-bit app (and 32-bit graphedt/proppage for a 32-bit app). And if you are in admin mode with VS, you will need to be in admin mode for graphedt.
