The ova download page at http://www.sagemath.org/download-windows.html has more recent versions, including Sage 7.4. Why not use the most recent version?

because im a student and this is the version my teacher wants. If it doesnt work i'll try the newest version. so you think that this version is the problem?

Instead of the virtual machine, you might be interested in testing the new SageMath installer for Windows.

It should work with any 64-bit version of Windows 7 and above.

To try it out, use the .exe installer from the most recent item (top in the list) at

https://github.com/sagemath/sage-windows/releases/

Note: edited this answer in 2017-12 to point to https://github.com/sagemath/sage-windows/ instead of the previous repo which had the alpha version.

I updated the link; the previous link pointed to an alpha version for Sage versions 7.x.

Starting from Sage 8.0, the installer is no longer in alpha stage; it will aim to keep in sync with releases of Sage.
