IDA and bochs

[deepzero]

Hi,

i am trying to setup IDA PRO to run with Bochs, but no luck.

OS: xp sp3 x86 VM
IDA: IDA PRO 6.1 (leaked version, no way i can afford the real deal...yet)
Bochs: latest 2.6.2 (but i also tried some older versions)

When i select IDB mode and try to run it anyways, i get two error messages ("failed to run bochs...", see screenshot). IDA freezes for several settings, dumps below text to the output and presents me with debugger settings (screenshot).
Ida output:

What do i do wrong? Wrong Bochs version?
As i said, ai tried a couple of older ones, too. Which version is advised for 6.1 use?

Running bochs 2.6 gives a slightly different error output:
