Did you manage to get to the stage of the graphical wizard, which displays after
rebooting for the first time ?  This is the point at which you set the name  and

I've got it running perfectly on QEMU, although it does  seem  a  bit  sluggish.
With VirtualBox, are you able to virtualise other  systems,  or  is  this  issue
specific to ReactOS ? Have you ever managed to run a previous version of ReactOS
in the past, or is this your first attempt at doing so ?
