There is one last thing you can try: reinstall of the Host. I know it's a drastic step, but it might actually solve it. It wouldn't be the first time it fixes something this odd. I remember I had the problem back in 1.5.4 or 1.5.6 where I had a Windows VM and it did not respond to the Windows key a...

You have one weird system. I have no problems running multiple VMs, Linux or Windows or mixed, at the same time on my hardware. And it's just a dual core non-AMD-V host to boot. I do have 3 GB of RAM, but that doesn't matter much. Just for reference, you DID detach the ISO after you installed the G...

I lent 2x1GB DDR 400 = 2GB DDR 400 from a friend and tried it out on the computer, It did not help everything still loaded just as slow so I put my 2x512MB = 1GB back in. I formatted the machine and installed openSUSE as the host operating system and then tried to create a guest Linux vm(installed n...

Which shows what we've been saying all this time, you run a LIVE environment, not an INSTALLED one for Linux. We don't care if it's made for a 486 PC from 20 years ago, it's what is happening now that's important. Unlike your XP VM, the live CD loads everything in RAM, so if the disc is 150 MB on i...

This is on an XP computer im "playing with"
My computer is running 7 and has 4GB of ram.

Hi, I think this is the fastest Linux boot yet 13 minutes! I checked the “Enable PAE/EX” checkbox under the processor tab (maybe helped?). Lucid Puppy is supposed to be built for older slower computers (on some forms I’ve read of it being allot faster than win 98) so it should boot and run faster th...

Ok, I think I’ll look into getting another ram stick for that pc but I still think it’s strange that the with an XP vm it runs fine but with a very small Linux distro its so much slower (XP is up in about 5min Linux puppy about 22min).

Windows 7 as Host and just 1 GB of RAM? And you dare to give half of it to a VM? You have quite some guts there. It's no wonder the Linux systems run so slow, the hard drive is going crazy swapping memory used by W7 back and forth between RAM and pagefile. And I'm pretty sure you didn't install the...

Linux running really slow on VirtualBox even distros like Lucid Puppy 5.1 takes 21:58 min to just boot up and when typing in the console it take about 10 seconds for the letters to appear. I have tried Debian, OpenSUSE 11.3, DamnSmalLinux(DSL) and a few others an still very slow some so slow I could...
